Yep, I now predict Alissa Czisny will either win Nationals or place second, either way she's on the team, even if she only lands 3 triples like she did at 2009 US Nationals against a 7-triple Rachael Flatt. Btw, I think she will land more than that this time around, she's on an upward momentum! :thumbsup:
This is her year, and I honestly hope she makes the most of it at Nationals & Worlds. At least redeem herself by earning back 3 spots for Worlds, as it was her that lost 3 spots for the Olympics. No, that I don't forget, but my anger at her has lessened.
It remains to be seen if she's a team player, as hopefully in the future the Olympics does include a Team Event, which has been much talked about. ^)
Actually, it was Kimmie, Bebe and Ashley who lost the third spot.
Are you blaming Alissa for not winning it back? Because in the case are you also angry at Rachael and Mirai for not winning it back last year? Angry seems like an awfully strong word. I mean I'm sure Alissa didn't mean to personally offend anyone by skating badly at worlds - or Rachael or Mirai last year. I'm sure they are annoyed enough at themselves.
