What happened to you thinking that Alissa could win US Nats? She has shown inconsistency, but if it's there that night ...

Red Dog said:And that comment could go for countless other skaters as well. In other words, it's just not likely, but anything can happen.
CDMM1991 said:I guess what I don't undersatnd is why it's more likely for it to happen to Kimmie than Alissa. Alissa made GPF, and had higher point totals than Kimmie this year, so why is Kimmie seen as more of a favorite?
Her weak spot is the SP. If she hits the SP clean, I can see a great LP going for her and in my book she would be a winner. However, I think the USFSA have other ideas on who should win the Nats and I think with all the hype, it will be Ms Cohen. I have hopes that she makes the team, but I'm rooting for Bebe.CDMM1991 said:What happened to you thinking that Alissa could win US Nats? She has shown inconsistency, but if it's there that night ...
I agree. I&B and O&L cant do a thing internationally. We need new pairs blood. Gosh I miss Don & Hunt. The y could have been champs this year if he could have stayed healthy. Tia Babilonia said it best." U S pairs just don't get it. You have to stay TOGETHER to be competitive internationally."jayta said:I have to say that for your discussion about I&B and O&L...you have to now think about NNN/L!
NNN/L need a little more work on the transitions and combo spins, but I think they have a definite chance to medal at Nationals this year....they look sooo good!
NNN looks super...if TL can keep up the energy and put a little performance in, they could definitely be contenders!
Boy are right on about usfsa. Kimmie should have never gotten the bronze last year. BeBe outskated her by a mile. It was unfair of usfsa to put so much pressure on Kimmie. It will be interesting to see how the usfsa controls the judges in the COP.Doggygirl said:Because the USFSA says so. Just kidding. IMO either of these ladies (and more) have a shot at a spot. I just hope they ALL skate great (selfishly) so it's an exciting comp to watch.

CDMM1991 said:It amazes me how one performance at the GPF can change everyone's sentiments about this skater so much. After Skate Canada it seemed like everyone at GS was on the Alissa bandwagon, and then she disappoints at one competition and everyone jumps ship to Kimmie? I'm just not sure I understand the reasoning behind this. Kimmie hasn't shown us anything better since then, so I'm just not sure.
