Bradie's PCS are too high, Nationals inflation or no. Just because she rotates het triples does not make her a watchable skater. She has a loooong way to go there and considering she is almost 20, it might not even be something that is reasonably attainable. Whoever called her a more boring Kimmie Meissner is right on point. O remember Bradie being just as consistent two seasons ago and even turning in a stellar Nationals performance. But it wasn't exciting then and it's not exciting now.
I am quite surprised to see Wagner being dropped here. Even though HHCC is pretty stale, it was well-performed and PCS have always been Ashley's saving grace. The fact that it wasn't here is not subtle and not a coincidence. She will have to earn that Olympic spot this time.
I have been stanning Mirai for over a decade now and just once I wish it wasn't so frustrating! Gorgeous 3As all week and even in warm-up and then the one when it counted was a bit of a mess. Sigh. But I am cautiously optimistic about her chances to make the team. I just hope she can finally have her moment and deliver a great performance.
Thankfully we have USFS' awkward politicking to discuss, because I don't know how a lot of those girls even made it to Nationals. It was sad.
I will say Angela, Polina, and Amber were all bright spots out there. Even Mariah was rather enjoyable.
Agreed.
