Deserves to be quoted and bolded. Got to look at the track record, folks. The stats would indicate that the SA result is a fluke, but it's up to her now to prove that it isn't. Show us at TEB AND AGAIN at Nationals why we should have your name in the ring with Wagner, Gold and Zawadzki. (with her being in college, my expectations remain low)
TEB is looking shaky for Gao at this point...even with the performance she put out at SA (entirely possible to repeat), I wonder if she'll be able to surpass Wagner, Tuktamysheva, and Lipnitskaia to medal. None of them are going to yield an inch if they can help it--Wagner needs to show that she will remain consistently excellent this season now that she's the "leader" of the US ladies; Lipnitskaia will be out for blood after CoC; Tukta will want to medal (maybe even repeat as champion) to make her 0.04-point loss at SC a little more bearable--so it'll be up to Gao to cover the remaining ground.
