How do you feel about Ashley Wagner making the Olympic team?

I will root for all of the Americans regardless. But, I think it's bull and another example of how political and unfair figure skating can be. Yes, Mirai has been inconsistent in the season leading up to the Olympics, but she skated her way onto the Olympic team fair and square and Ashley didn't. Also, Ashley is unfortunately infamous for choking once she gets to the higher rungs of competition. Doesn't that make her just as much of a gamble as Mirai? And someone else also mentioned, if consistency and experience is so important, how did Polina Edmunds make the team? Not saying she didn't deserve it, but she has the least international experience of them all. I swear just having a Russian name gets you ahead.

    I agree. Mirai got robbed. As an American, I will root for the Americans, but I choose Gracie Gold over Ashley Wagner.
