I just can't see Christina Gao and Agnes Zawadski being considered for the HOF without US championship gold.
Agreed. I presented eleven skaters over a number of posts who had some success domestically or internationally. I think Meisner, Czisny, Flatt, Nagasu, Wagner and Gold should all at least be in the discussion for HOF. Skaters E. Hughes, Zhang, Gao, Zawadski and Edmunds also had some success, but in my opinion not sufficient for a HOF berth.
