She looked to me like she didn't feel well...and weren't they a fairly last minute replacement?

That score seems a little low when comparing what they did to the USA team just behind them.

Assuming all the remaining 7 teams place above Weinstein/Simon, Liu/Johnson will need to be at least 4th to maintain 3 spots for the US.

Poland
Yu/Jin (CHN, 2 wins), Denney/Frazier (USA, 1 win), Sui/Han (CHN, 3 wins)

So, the teams that won the past 6 seasons.

Three other skaters from pairings are still competing (Zhang Hao who won in 2001 and 2003 with Zhang Dan, Maxim Trankov who won in 2005 with Maria Mukhortova, Liubov Ilushechkina who won in 2009 with Nodari Maisuradze)

ETA: I find this all interesting because it shows how easily some countries (or even specific teams in those countries) can dominate Juniors but can't maintain a great Senior showing.

If you mean China, then I think 2nd place at WC is great showing for me. It's normal that you don't win titles right after you shift to seniors. If you meant other, then sorry.
