I have to disagree with you chuckiem. It sounds to me like you are a little intimidated by the Canadian ladies, and rightfully so.....No women in the world stands out regarding their PCS accept for Osmond who in my opinion is the best in the world. Canada needs 3 spots with the strength of women's skating right now in Canada. I feel that Alaine and Gold have the same style. If Gold can be on the world podium so can Chartrand. Chartrand has beautiful jumps, innovate spins, speed and a uniqueness and elegance to her skating style. I feel that Daleman style is a little more choppy and less elegant but she has the jumps and the spins to back her up.

Intimidated? How on earth would you think that after Chartrand's performances at Skate America (where she was last) and CoR? Methinks you are being carried away by Canflation. Bear in mind that ISU judges do not see Nationals performances, not do they judge the way Nationals judges do. ISU judges saw Alaine's GP performances and they gave her marks according to those performances, as they did Gold; I don't believe they agree with you that their styles are similar: Gold has a Seasons Best of 202.80 and Alaine's is 173.42.
Canada will get 3 ladies when they earn them with placements adding up to 13. Last year, Chartrand placed 11th and Daleman, 21st. Luckily, the rule is that the 2nd skater is valued at 16th if she/he makes the FS so Canada eked out two skaters for 2016. It's going to be crowded in the top 10 this year with Medvedeva, Radionova, Miyahara, Asada, Pogorilaya, Gold, Wagner, Hongo, Edmunds, etc. all vying for placement points. It will be tough for both Chartrand and Daleman to squeeze in there.
I guess we will see at 4CC if Chartrand can score 133 points in the FS internationally. Last year she scored 102.72.
