The way Alissa had been trending over the last 3 months, is this really a surprise to anybody? I agree that she should have been pulled and Agnes sent instead.
Such a beautiful skater, the kind one wants on top of the podium, and this number to me represents who she is as a skater and as a person, thus why I call it her signature piece.
I'll remenber the way you expressed yourself, Alissa, and I say that with total sincerity and honesty.
I look forward to seeing what they will give as points in the program component score. She should be behind Lacoste for sure in this part of the competition.
Man, are the Americans cursed or something? lol! This is so miserably sad that it's either laugh or cry and I really don't want to cry. Every year that they seem to get close, they go and implode...first Mirai and now Alissa.
