I'm hoping Alissa has a good skate just for her confidence. She looked so sad last night. I would like to see her finish the night feeling good about her performance.
Not to rub salt or anything but she should have been so after that performance. If she wasn't I'd have completely lost faith in her.
I agree with your last sentence. No matter what happens, she needs to finish strong. For the sake of her confidence, and heck, maybe even a possible shot at top 10 and 3 spots.
