It looks like based on her Loop she is going to try to water down her content to do bettter but she does not have the PCS to make up for that! I don't know what her LP holds but if she is lowering her content I think she is on her way out and she doesn't want to injure herself on her way out.
The problem will arise if, at Nationals, no one seizes the opportunity to be better than this. Can you imagine the ranking of anyone with skating of her current level making even the top five in, say, 1999 or 2000? The question at this point isn't "Why do the judges choose her for the world team?" but "Why don't they have anyone better to choose?" This season is anyone's for the taking, but someone has to be good enough to take it. I hope that not only Alyssa but Mirai or Agnes also rise to the occasion.
