To be fair, Mirai hasn't exactly made a case of further investment/attention by finishing 7th in Nationals in the last two years. Who would you put your resources toward, the skaters who are in the top 6 in the world or the skater who has yet to realize her full potential and hasn't made a world team in three years?
The attention to Agnes is a bit mystifying toward me...but aside from that I don't think the USFSA's priorities don't seem that far fetched.
Mirai still has an opportunity to prove herself in the U.S. She has the arsenal to do it. Ashley Wagner seem all but done after finishing 6th at 2011 Nationals and came back to win it all a year later. Mirai can rise to the occasion. If she does two fantastic programs at nationals and make the Olympic team (as she did in 2010) USFSA will take notice.
