LADIES FREE Skate

Losing the second spot isn't going to happen. Ashley would have to finish 12th or worse.

Hersh knows...he's on twitter. I think he's in shock.

I fell soooo bad for Alissa, no one deserves this

. I wonder what excuse Philip Hersh will use for last year being Rachael's fault but not Alissa's this year.

It would be torture (of Alissa) to ever send her back to Worlds. Alissa and Worlds don't get along. Please, if you have compassion, don't even think about it!

Didn't people read Hersh on the ladies short? He already wrote Alissa off.

The usfsa needs to have talk with Alissa and tell her she needs to retire....sasha had problems with consistencey ..this girl is unreal..

Miki did pretty badly at her first Olympics. But she was young and Alissa is of mature age for a skater. What an awful situation.

Yes but Miki went for a Quad Salcow and 3/3.

And Miki did not melt down this badly...boy thankful that Alissa does not skate for Japan.

It's sad that Amelie Lacoste don't have confidence in herself, she can be a lot more better than what she does :(
I think that Skate Canada need to send Kaetlyn Osmond next season. She is the only one in Canada who is competitive and strong mentally.

Czisny was just so slow and tentative around the ice, no wonder she missed all those jumps. Can't see her appearing at worlds again. She will probably finish 22nd!! She got FIVE deductions!! That was nothing less than a total meltdown

the odds of that happening ? not good
Russia could get 2 spots for ladies

Makarova has no lutz and underrotates

Alissa as well as any of the current US girls could only wish to have the consistency level of Sasha Cohen. Sure, Cohen could have 1-3 mistakes in the LP, but she pretty much always skated a clean SP under pressure cooker situations and she had highlights to her skating that international judges loved and she pretty much always managed to finish 2nd - 4th in major events.
