I have a hard time imagining the 3rd US lady won't make the top 12, unless it's Czisny or Nagasu and they meltdown or have URs galore, respectively. If it's Gao or Zawadzki, which is more likely, I think they'd make the top 12, if not the top 10.
I can think of eleven ladies who can (and probably will) beat Gao/Zawadzki: Kim, Kostner, Asada, Wagner, Gold, Murakami, Suzuki, two of Tuktamysheva/Sotnikova/Lipnitskaia, Osmond, and Korpi. So, theoretically, they could make the top twelve with good skates, but they have little room for error.
