Is it just me or is Rachael Flatt really overlooked by the USFSA?
She has had two impressive showings both at the US Nationals and at Junior Worlds. She has proved that she has enormous potential to win big at Worlds and perhaps even at the Olympics. Yet, the USFSA has responded with a collective yawn. The promotion machine with its all its chatter and fluff pieces has decided that it already had enough to do with Caroline and Mirai. Now, I don't think Rachael really needs all the publicity. She's fine making a name for herself by doing so well as a skater. But, still, it would be nice to get some attention her way. After all, a skater does deserve her federation's support.
