My impression of the US Nationals figure skating competitions is that they are for selecting the strongest international competitors for world championships. And whoever the judges think are the potentially strongest international competitors are then selected, mostly from the results of GPS of the season and the result of last season’s worlds. If no one was successful making the Grand Prix Finale, then they may choose from the performance of the Nationals competition. And the scores are usually influenced by other country’s top winners’ scores. I won’t say this is the fact, but it’s my personal impression. Ladies Ashley Wagner I was pretty sure Ashley Wagner will get her second National title, because she won two gold medals at GPS competitions and won silver at GPF, she was very successful. I love her skating and I thought her FP was the most interesting to watch. Even with two falls, all the other parts she skated perfectly. IMO.
