Well advice to the youngsters (Krasnozhon, Torgashev, Johnson, Hiwatashi, et al). Don't wait till 2021-2022 season to do well. Start your BOW collection from the first season after Olympics.
You do not want to be Mirai-ed or Miner-ed at 2022 Nationals.

OMG, Ross isn't even the first alternate for Olys, Jason is. What a slap in the face.
Why even bother holding Nationals?

If National results don’t really matter then why make the announcement at and right after the championship? Lol.
Yep the crazy alternates thing comes into play.

Poor Ross. I dread to think how he'll feel during his exhibition. Poor guy.
On a side note, I'm glad Joshua didn't roll the dice to get to this Nationals. Maybe his team knew that USFA would play the "body of work" card even if he somehow would manage to get on the podium.

Lol what. I get it, Adam has a great BOW. But to not even give Ross the 1st alt spot is just a slap in the face. :noshake:
News to me too. Perhaps they would have sent him (medical bye) had he been able to return to practice between nationals and Worlds.
Mrs. P predicted that, right?

I'm sad for Ross. 
He'll get 4CC, I suppose.

Yeah I feel bad for Ross. I would have put him 1st too.

When was the last time the US sent a men's singles skater to the Olympics that was under 18 years old?

for me the usfsa created a hornest nest if they took nathan, ross, vincent-what is the olympics but a chance to chase their dreams.
body of work critieria should go for every discipline use it exactly the same.
the reason they told ashley no- should be the reason they say no to adam, ross, vincent, jason, grant-if can't do it .
they use top 3 medalist
that is why most of the time the other countries make sure their frontrunners have the higher pc's & tes scores both together- the u.s. doesn't which muddles things.
for people 3 of the judges of the ladies was isu certified, does anyone know if any of men's judges was isu certified and not only u.s. nationals.

For the people saying Adam was too up himself and not humble, Jackie Wong just posted this,
Adam Rippon: When I found out what the Olympic team was, I texted Ross Miner and I told him that I was proud of what he did yesterday and how well he skated. He texted me right back and told me he was very happy to me bit.ly/2BmKMki #USChamps18
Adam Rippon: Four years ago, I didn't know if I wanted to continue skating, and a year ago, I was sitting in a cast. I've been very consistent and I'm very grateful for this opportunity. And I feel like my experience will help me have a great performance at the Olympic games
