Ai Notohara, who trained in Canada, and placed 10th that year.

The number 4 in a country.

So the top 3 is going to the championship for sure, but when 1 falls out for some reason, the number 4 goes into competition.

Correct?

[mouseinstinct]

Yes, each country can only choose three athletes from each solo division to represent their country and compete at the World Championships. They many also send an alternate for each division in case one of the selected athletes is unable to compete.
