Controversy Surrounds Team USA Figure Skating Decision
Monday, 13 January 2014 | by Pat's Picks
Ashley Wagner has been named to the U.S. Olympic team, on the heels of one of her worst performances in years at the U.S. championships. The selection committee has the option of looking at a skater’s entire body of work over the past year, which is why they chose Wagner over Mirai Nagasu, whose bronze medal performance ordinarily would have guaranteed her a spot on the Olympic team. It’s only the third time a medalist at the U.S. Championships was left off the Olympic squad.
