I might be out of line here - but have any of you SEEN the US ladies skate this year? None of them are what I'd call "champion material." Lots of potential. Some have one or two things that are clearly the bestest ever - but competitive with the rest of the world? I think not.
We should be happy that Alyssa and Rachael did as well as they did and face the fact that yes, Alyssa won the national championships but it wasn't a guarntee that she'd perform well at Worlds and by the same token we STILL don't know what Caroline would've put together based on her performance at Jr. Worlds. Yes, she fought back in the long but if she was the best person to send to Worlds ove Alyssa where do you think her slow skating, tiny jumps and immaturity would've landed her?
Well, Caroline's "slow skating, tiny jumps and immaturity" landed her in 4th place in the rather deep field at 4CC...
Anyways, it IS pretty pointless to predict how Caroline would've fared if she did indeed go to Worlds this year, but I have a feeling that if Caroline only landed 3-4 triples in her LP, most people would've called it a meltdown. But not so with Alissa, which is pretty telling....
