I am struggling with the scores in the SD Juniors Ice Dance. McNamara and Carpenter score 73 and the Parsons 70? So does that mean they should be in the senior Worlds and be on the podium? Or is the scoring just overall so inflated at Nationals that we are going to see mid-high 70s with the Seniors in their SD and reality will hit all when they get to the world stage? I like Lorraine and Quinn although not really a fan of this year's performances. But I certainly see them as talented and with great potential. Not as enthralled with the Parsons but, just my opinion. Meanwhile, unless these extraordinary scores are well-deserved, I think the national inflation does them a disservice. I guess time will tell. And some Slovakian judge peering over his glasses.
