I like Flatt but I think her spirals and spin were very mediocre. Nagasu's are so surerior that even with the jump downgrades (wish we could see them in slow mo) I think the tech scores should have been closer.
Gosh, whats that???
Im sooooo angry about these judges!
Rachael's spins are TERRIBLE. Her JUMPS are AWFUL, and she is the Nationals champion????? ah, c'mom, with this presentation, she might be on 15th place at olympics.
Ashley is more consistent, beautiful to watch, and obviously she has a more powerful skating. Love her presentation tonight. So unfair to see her in 3rd.
I really hope Ashley makes the olympic team. She deserves it more than any other skater. Coming down from 4th and doing this amazing presentation tonight is not for everybody.
I'd agree that Mirai losing GOEs and PCs to Rachel makes no sense, even with downgrades. All you need to see that are eyes.
I see no reason in this case not to send the top Two. I think it will be Flatt/Nagasu

If they don't give that spot to Mirai I'm going to cry. After all she's been through and all her underscored programs, rising above it all, she DESERVES to go. I think putting Ashley on the world team s a good idea though.
Anyone think NBC didn't show much K&C slow motion on purpose?? Mirai's jumps were better than they've ever been, I really can't understand 3 downgrades.. I think she should have won. Rachael's skating is just so sloppy and blehh, not to mention that awful second spin with the attempted I-spin positions.. There's no way she beat Mirai by almost 20 points.
am sure it will be despite what a few canucks might think about our Nationals
Heh - I was agreeing with you earlier. I just happen to think irritating Grandpa Janetfan is a valid argument for sending someone outside the top two to Vancouver. It says so in the rules (that I'm currently typing up on a wonderfully archaic typewriter).
