As for Mirai being a headcase, well, she is complicated.  So what?  Figure skating is full of headcases: Jeremy Abbott, Alissa Czisny, Sasha Cohen to a certain degree.  (My coach says I'm a headcase.  She's right.  I am.)  Mirai's problem was that she refused to give 120%.  She thought 98% was enough.  (Girl has perspective, I'll give her that.)  That's why Frank Carroll walked away.  USFS has made it clear that they don't like Mirai, but she just won't go away.  Good for her!

USFS should have named both Ashley and Mirai to the team with Gracie.  All three have international senior records.  Polina Edmunds, who finished second at Nationals, does not.  If Ashley was named to the team because her record was better than Mirai's, then Mirai should have been chosen over Polina for that same reason.  But again, USFS hates Mirai, so the poor girl got dinged.  (And please, 10th at Four Continents?  No one cares about Four Continents one week before the Olympics, least of all, the skaters who aren't going to the Olympics.)[/quote]
Giving 98% for an Olympic athlete is lazy, especially in a field as competitive as US ladies singles.  That's why Carroll had no time for this nonsense.

As to who should have been selected to the team, USFSA isn't a charity or a lifetime award outfit. They select people who have a good chance of placing high enough to earn spots for the next year's athletes. They said to Mirai, I don't think you will place. That's what it means when you aren't selected. [/quote]
