Sad trombone for the Shibutanis.
The Shibs are headed towards an 8th place finish. Which means in the unlikely event that Davis/White falls off the podium, the US loses one spot.
Alex is laughing; I've doubt he's seen scores like that for them in a looooooooong time.
Yeah, behind H/D, at least USA probably won't lose a spot next year, never thought I would be saying that this year.82.37. I don't think I've ever seen them score that low.

Y'know, it's disappointing but it happens. They are still very young and have a long time before they can challenge as serious medal threats; last year was a big fluke and they aren't going to be able to even dream about just winning Nationals for a few years longer. Chalk it up as a learning experience and move on! I'm still mighty impressed by what I see from the Shibs overall. They have a lot of potential and can be top-tier staples in the years to come.

How so? Even if D/W were 4th or 5th, the US would still have 3 spots next year I thought.
