I get the body of work argument, I even support it in many ways... but i always thought the powers that be wanted US Nationals to be a major part of the BOW and a big deal of a competition. I thought it was weighed heavily because they wanted to send the message it was important.
...this selection seems to give very little weight to Nationals it seems. I feel there should be a little more hope going in than this selection allows. I think you can look at BOW and heavily look at Nationals and come to better conclusions than this. Basically a silver was worth dong better than one of the five favorites in selection... I think it should be worth more than that. Even Max Aaron named as 3rd alternate is a bit of a head scratcher. I am not sure how needed it was to keep the 3rd alternative title away from Grant.
Ohh well. May all the Olympians and alternatives go on to have great skates... where is my vodka.
