About pressure, often the young kids can handle it better than the more experienced skaters. Probably because they don't know any better, so they just go out and skate. (Tara, for instance.)
Yeah, as I recall the big scandal at Japanese nationals was placing Onda (4th) ahead of Nakano (5th), which somehow or other was the only way that Ando (6th) would get enough points to make the team. Something like that. Oh, what a tangled web we weave.
