I'm just afraid USFS will pick Rachael, Carolyn and Alissa, with Miki Ando as the top seed.
I think so, too, except they might try to grab Yu-na kim instead of Ando if they get the chance.
I think they will certainly choose Rachael, as the only U.S.seeded skater. They will surely choose Alissa, as U.S. champion. So the only real choice will be the third U.S. skater.
Here they have many choices. They could go with Mirai, or Ashley. or Kimmie (we haven't forgotten you! ), or with someone just up from juniors.
But I think the pressure to take Caroline will prove irresistible. Anything can happen, but right now it looks like the U.S. ladies Olympic team will be Rachael and Caroline. The USFSA has two chances to get their names and faces in front of the American public -- Skate America and U.S. Nationals.
I don't think the powers that be -- meaning the people who invest billions in the success of the Olympic games -- care very much about the grand Prix final.
