@Sasha'sSpins do you really think Alissa is going to become national champion with jumps like this ?

I know you want Alissa and Mirai to make the world team, but do you really think that their going to get us 3 spots back this year ? I know people don't want Rachael to make the worlds team ( I don't either ), but I don't understand why some feel that Alissa and Mirai can get it done. Even though they haven't been sent to world together,BUT they have been sent to worlds. Alissa 11th place and 2011 and Mirai 2010 7th place. These are two very beautiful skaters yet they are both so inconsisitant and lack self confidence. What would be the odds of both of them hitting at worlds ? Also isn't Alissa still injured ? I hope I'm not sounding too harsh, but look at what's been givien to us from them both: Alissa ( the above video ) what happened to her jumps ? I know some people are saying it's just a show, but the main point is she's not landing jumps. Mirai basically said in her interview her training situation isn't the greatest,she lost her jumps and she's going from rink to rink. When Mirai is on she's brillant, just like when Alissa's on she's beautiful but so far this season when have they been on ? The only American skater who seems to have the fire and determination this season is Ashley. Plus I think she has really good programs this year. I hope she's overcome her Sp issues and makes the world team. Just like I hope Alissa is fully healed and lands her jumps. I hope Mirai shows us how brillant she can be and I hope Rachael proves all her nay sayers wrong.
Where did I say I think Alissa will be national champion with jumps like that? I think she'll make the world team unless she has total a meltdown. Same with Mirai.
As to the rest-that's your opinion. As I said, IF Nagasu and Czisny bring their A game to worlds should they make the team, YES I do believe they will get those 3 spots back for the U.S.
