I believe most honest folks scoring the opening 3lz+2T that we saw from Sasha and Mirai at the Natls SP would not have given Mirai only a .43 edge. Sasha had a problem on both jumps but our tech panel must have had pixie dust in their eyes when Sasha jumped. And it is no secret that NBC was spotted giving away free pixie dust that evening.
Nagasu deserved to be much farther ahead than the other skaters, IMO. At least 4 points. As much as I liked Flatt, she was probably scored a TAD bit high. I'd have had (with Nationals inflation scoring) Nagasu 71, Flatt 66, Cohen 64, Wagner 59. Something like that, anyway.
