Winding up in the top 6 at her first Worlds is a huge achievement for Karen after no GP success. Good for her. Even though she wasn't perfect, she proved that she deserved her National title and that she's a threat for the US Olympic team.
OMG I'm so happy the US retains 3 spots! Ashley had a really really rough day but now she can let it go and it won't haunt her next season for Oly qualification.
