2a and 3t won't get Alissa far at Nationals.
She landed neither of these jumps at Worlds last year so it would be an improvement.

^^ But when was the IN video of Fashion on Ice recorded? Any chance that it was the 2011 show http://www.dissonskating.com/fashion-on-ice/?
Don't think a Fashion on Ice show has been held in 2012 ... :confused2:
The date on Ice Network says Dec. 4, 2012, but on Disson site it says the show was on Nov. 24, 2011. Maybe IN is just airing it almost a year late??? I knew it was too good to be true. Alissa looked to be in excellent form, not like she just had surgery.
I agree with the OP, amc987, that Czinsy's abilities stack up quite well with all of the U.S. women. If she can overcome her injury and the lack of training time, the recent GP season has proved that her only competition is Wagner.
Those are huge deficits to be overcome. Czisny hasn't been in top form since the 2010-2011 season; with spots for Sochi on the line, USFS isn't going to give her a huge advantage going in unless she shows that she has regained top form. And there are many skaters besides Wagner who have skated well enough this season to offer stiff competition: Gold, Nagasu and Angela Wang, to name a few.
The thought of Alissa edging out the field for silver and making the World team truly frightens me. It could happen though because she accrues so many more points on spins and PCS than her competitors.
