Bradie was very consistent in her performance all season, and SP fall at the Olys was atypical for her. She probably is over her first major competition "stage fright", and will do well at the Worlds. Mirai is very driven this season, and did land 3A... so one hit, one miss.... next one maybe a hit. So maybe it is not over until it is over...
Also, i suspect (don't know, but suspect) that Wagner's tantrums over her scores at Nationals added an element of anxiety to the other 3 top girls. While Wagner did not state which of the 3 girls she should be ahead of, the fact that she felt entitled to be on the team, by default meant that either Bradie, Mirai, or Karen should not be there. I had a gut feeling, when it happened, that all 3 girls felt extra pressure to prove they have a right to be on the team.
Wagner did not just blur out the phrase one time while emotional. She went on and repeated her position to the Press, and became a national discussion in the sports. Wagner was loud and insistent, taking away all the attention from the 3 girls who earned the spot. Then her commercials, appearances, tweets and the hoopla over "personal issues" got shoved into everyone's face... while Karen, Mirai, Bradie seemed like some "upstarts" favored by Federation, lucky to be on the team over "Big Sh.t" Wagner... I knew then, during pre-Oly times, it will have effect on the 3 girls and will add to the anxiety. And then it went as it went....
