2010 US Ladies Olympic Team

Zhang, Flatt, Wagner/Czisny
After seeing her 2007 Nationals FS, I really believe Alyssa is one of the most talented skaters in the world. I realize she is somewhat of a risk, but I think if she could pull together two relatively clean programs, she'd really be in contention for a medal in 2010. I'd love to see her there.

welcome to the boards, danny - post often, post long!

Caroline,Mirai, and Alyssa assuming Sasha doesn't return.

R.D. · Feb 27, 2009

^ it would be cool if Alyssa got to go to an Olympics...

She had a legit shot in '06 though and blew it BIG.

I too think Alissa & Flatt will be on the team. The third spot is a toss between Mirai, Ashley & Zhang.

Do you really think we're going to have to worry about who will get a third spot?

I know there would be only two spot but I chose three anyway.

Rachael-consistent
Sasha-feels like complete version of Alissa and Caroline and I'm worried about Caroline's jumps
Ashley-just love her style

McWicked · Apr 1, 2009

Flatt and Meissner.

Trewyn · Apr 2, 2009

Right now, I think Rachael and Caroline is the most obvious answer to this question. The poll also reflects that. My personal dream US Olympic team is Sasha and Ashley. But I think if Sasha comes back, it's still more likely to be Sasha and Rachael because unless Rachael bombs the GP and Ashley shines, it's unlikely Ashley will make the Olympic team over Rachael. If Sasha does not come back, I'll hope for Rachael and Ashley. Big underdogs to make the team (they're underdogs because the didn't have a very good 2008-2009 season) are Kimmie and Mirai.
I'd be very surprised if Alissa or Bebe or any of the JGP skaters made the Olympic team.

Tonichelle · Apr 3, 2009

well I voted when this poll was brand new...

I'll put Ashley and Rachel on the team now if I could.

R.D. · Apr 3, 2009

I think the more interesting question is whether the USFS will send the Top Two or whether they will introduce a more rigorous process (i.e. factoring in GP results) to select the Olympic Team.

TripletA · Apr 3, 2009

I am going for Flatt and Kwan. Realistic or not that is who I would put on the team if everyone was on par.

Dipyramidal · Apr 3, 2009

Mirai & Caroline please.

R.D. · Apr 3, 2009

Perhaps this topic should be revisited next January...it's much too early to tell right now, and a LOT can happen in the meantime (including injuries to the top contenders, etc.)

My pick were:

Mirai: She's got it all!!! And I think we need to give her an olympic experience. She's gonna be awesome once her growth spurt is over.

Rachel: She's the most reliable & hands down I knew she'd be great since 1st time I saw her.

Kimmie: Once she's fixed her problems, she'll be roarin back.

:agree::agree::agree: I do not think it possible to say the words any better :agree:

Although I might have said something other than "Roarin" :laugh:

but it works perfectly.

Hasn't anyone thought about Michelle Kwan.

Yes . ? ... but it had nothing to do with the "...2010 Olympic..." in the same title :rofl:

Fumie will be the oldest competitive in ladies am i.m.o

Always the realest

So true though at this point guesses are just fun

Nagasu and Flatt. Nagasu made the right coaching move, Zhang the wrong one, and it will allow Nagasu to pass Zhang back in the rankings and cause Zhang to miss year of making it to Worlds and/or Olympics. Czisny is toast, she might as well turn pro immediately and cash in on her fluke U.S title since the only Olympic rings she will see are on televsion. Wagner could make the team if she puts it all together but what are the odds of that. Cohen might abandon her comeback altogether after a terrible showing vs the devastatingly strong Eric Bompard field. If she makes it to Nationals I give her a 40% shot of making it, my gut tells me she will miss though. Meissner I would like to see comeback strong but I doubt it.

So my picks are Nagasu and Flatt. Give Cohen a decent shot to make it, Wagner a decent shot, and Zhang a decent shot. Still my choices are those two. Meissner, Czisny, and little Hughes (god when is she going to retire already), and Kwan (in the miracle she returns) have NO shot.

Who do you think will make the 2010 US Ladies Olympic Team?

Let's assume (hopefull thinking...) that there will be 3 spots- Vote for 3 people you think will pull it all together and make it to Vancouver.

And don't forget the underdogs... Sometimes they surprise ya!

Glad it works as expected for you

Well, I wish you could be right, but we only get 2 ladies' spots. I'm pretty sure it will be 2 of those 3, but it's hard to tell which. TEB will tell us a great deal.

I am in the extreme minority here, but I still feel it's possible our ladies' Olympic team will be decided by Christmas.

2010 US Ladies Olympic Team

Which 3 (hopefully) US Ladies will go to Vancouver in 2010?

Mirai Nagasu

Rachael Flatt

Ashley Wagner

Caroline Zhang

Katrina Hacker

BeBe Liang

Kimmie Meissner

Alyssa Czisny

Sasha Cohen (If she returns)

Other- Please post your thoughts in the thread
