Please, please, do not have a cushy technical panel. Ignoring underrotations/flutzes/lips may inflate scores at Nationals, but it won't serve us well when a repeat offender gets gutted at Worlds. Ceteris Parabis, the Worlds team should be Wagner/Gold/Hicks (unless Edmunds, Cesario and Nagasu can clean up their acts at Nationals).
I don't disagree in theory but in practice......big scores from nationals I think do effect judges.
I would love to see Hicks go and I'm a Polina fan for sure.
