Can't believe they sent Siraj! Didn't even realized until I see her name. What happened to Angela? That girl is the future of US figure skating. Her jumps are massive, and she has decent artistry and some fight in her. She can definitely be polished.
Compared to Anna, Elena definitely is overscored.
The USFS has their head up their up know what. They only go by what happened at US Nationals. Siraj finished ahead of Wang and Miller so they get to stay home even though they both went to the JGP final. In fact Miller medaled at every event and it got her nothing. This isn't how you develop young skaters.
Elena completely missed an element but the rest was very good. Anna had mistakes on many of her elements. I don't think Elena is over-scored.
Julia missed the combo. Bad day for Russian girls
This just shows no matter how good and talented the Russian ladies are, they have to bring it. The same scenario could very well happen at the Olympics. Competition is competition, we should stop proclaiming the next Olympic champion
