Point taken - but if they send Johnny and again decide to give him PCS in the low 70ies and Johnny again only goes for 6 Triples - then the spot could be gone too.

even if the international judges decide that evan still hasn't fixed the axels, i still don't think he'll be placed outside of top 8, which means jeremy only needs to be top 5.
Congratulations to Jeremy.
Who would have thought that after all was said and done Evan would take third place and Johnny would be off the podium. Is it too much to hope that this will end the Evan vs. Johnny nonsense?
What a Nationals!! New champions in every venue.
Awesome.

Then wouldn't that be more of a case against sending Evan?
It would be such a shame to drop Brandon. If he came 3rd, perhaps... I think if they really want Johnny, it will be a toss off between Evan and Brandon.

but Jeremy could place 1st and Evan or Brandon have to place in the 11th or 12th to secure the 3 spot for the olympics.. not really hard to do.
I certainly hope they won't have the guts to drop Mroz of the team
I'm shocked they didn't place Evan over Brandon. Evan only lost by .6 points, but his PCS scores were 7.5 points lower than Jeremy's! I'm surprised that with his reputation he couldn't get the extra point in PCS's. Johnny Weir's PCS's were 2.5 points lower than Brandon's. I guess the judges are over the Evan/Johnny rivalry.

Maybe, just maybe, the judges scored the event according to who skated best??

I would send Jeremy, Brandon, and Johnny (unless he is ill a week beforehand).
Evan's skating has continued to get worse the past two years. The Quad is completely gone, the rest of his jumps are average at best, and he offers nothing special in terms of presentation. Johnny has done better internationally, I see that as being more important when considering who to send to Worlds.

skaters shouldn't be placed by reputation- they earn what they deserve....

I think that in the end they will send Johnny to worlds, as a matter of fact, I think they should send Johnny OVER Evan to Worlds.

What has Brian to do with this? But I am glad you guys always find a European skater to pick on all the time. Joubert, Kostner, several Russians...

I expect the US Fed to send Jeremy, Evan and Weir to Worlds, and they can send Mroz to 4CC.
The men's field internationally is not as competitive as it seems like last season.
Takahashi has an injury. Lambiel and Buttle have retired. Who else is out there? Oda, from his past performance in world championships, I would not know what to expect. Joubert, Chan and Kozuka may or may not deliver. I can easily see any of the three to place 4th-5th-6th.
