Podium Finishes and USFS Decisions - It's a 2 prong Nats

[Joesitz (RIP)]

Has to be the Most Difficult Nats to Select a World Team and a most important one at that.

Men - We will probably be looking for the bronze medalist. No reason not to send all who make the podium to Sweden.

Ladies - We will be looking for the 5 finishes and who will the USFS select for the World Team.

Pairs - 3 top teams missing all season. Will McL/Bru replace one of them? I'm not sure how many go to Sweden. McL/Bru will not.

Dance - The usual suspects unless there is a spoiler in here? S&B?

I agree! I think we have a whopping seven ladies, at the least, who could possibly medal at Nationals. They have the record to do so. It will be very interesting to see how the rising seniors (juniors last year, except for Flatt) will place in their Senior debut. Could make for a very interesting result!


Nagasu*
Wagner*
Zhang*
Czisny
Flatt (4th in Sr. Nats last year, but age ineligible for Worlds 2008.)
Hughes
Meissner

*=rising junior. Of these, Wagner is the only one who is age-eligible to be named to the World's 2008 team.

WOW What a mess at Nationals!!!!
With only the dance with an obvious look at the podium...........
Mens 1/2 seems to be decided but it is all about who will rise to the occasion and be #3.
Don't get me started on pairs and ladies. lol

Its going to make Nationals QUITE exciting to watch. I cant wait to watch

For the ladies Im just hoping judges will be accurate with the scores so there are no lowered PCS to place others who are eligible for Worlds higher than those who arent in placement.

Mens will be exciting too see Evan & Johnny battle. I think Stephen Carriere will probably get the 3rd spot on the podium

Pairs is a serious toss up. Dance looks pretty stable.

Im just hoping most of it will be televised so we can watch it all play out.
