Rachael's PCS scores have gotten higher because she is the 2007-2008 JGPF silver medalist, 2008 World Junior Champion, finished 5th at 2009 Worlds, and is a pretty consistent performer who has scored over 110 in the FS on many occasions. She's also won two silver GP medals (one last year and one this year) and was seeded in this year's GP. She was first alternate to the GPF.
Wagner has two JW bronze medals and finished 16th in her only appearance at Worlds. She won her first GP medals this season (her 3rd in the GP) and made the final. Her PCS scores are on the low side because she still hasn't impressed the judges as a major contender.
sigh. Am I the only one frustrated that skaters have to "prove themselves" with major titles in order to get high PCS. Evan, Joannie and Yu-na have seen astronomical PCS since last March, while the skaters who thrill me with thier musicality, interprtation and good skating skills are ignored. Ahh the politics of judging.
