LOL, I have also come to this realization, and quite recently.I have realized that I want nothing for the US women more than for Mariah to make the team.

Me five. Keep it going!
Does Nala count?
Tennell will not be competing internationally before Nationals. She was withdrawn last week from Golden Spin, which is the last Senior B before Nats.
Me six! Have been rooting for Mariah for quite some time now, glad to see others in her corner too!
Me seven! I sat next to her parents in both the short and long at 2020 Nationals in Greensboro. Not only did she skate amazing, they seemed genuinely thrilled (and did not tell us who they were until we noticed the mom crying and asked if they knew her). Also, after her free skate, Mariah turned and looked for them and acknowledged them after she finished. I have always had a soft spot for her since! Plus, she can SKATE, which I think is so undervalued these days.Me six! Have been rooting for Mariah for quite some time now, glad to see others in her corner too!
Amber can actually rotate and land the 3axel (not that the competition success rate is very good). I've yet to see that from Lindsay - all her 3axel attempts have been very short and two-footed.
Fair point. I'm not sure it means much for Amber though since she only attempts it maybe 50% of the time at any given competition and the success rate of those attempts is pretty low. Lindsay certainly has technical work to do but I appreciate that she is at least attempting them in competition. I'll be interested in hearing what folks who attend practices at the JGPF and Nationals have to say about her practice attempts - I don't think there have been a lot of practice videos of her 3A attempts on social media (but I also don't follow her).
The same was true of Courtney Hicks...
Definitely. The worst part of Adam's choreography for her is all the two foot skating. She's great at skating and there's no reason to hide it.
This is where I am. Been a fan of Mariah’s since 2016-17 Skate America where she stole the show and got a standing ovation.
Her skating stood out at Cup of Russia. She looked strong and powerful and topped it off with the most beautiful and mature presentation. So so happy she has gotten her mojo back at this event. I love that she takes the time to really perform and express the music. U.S. ladies like Mariah and Karen don’t have the crazy tech of some of the other top skaters, but I love that they still bring the performance and the beautiful musical interpretation. Let’s hear it for the mature women in the sport!! 
(I’m including Tuk….she brings the performance too….and better be in Beijing).
And on top of that, I want them to skate very well at the Olympics, all three of them. I don’t even care about placements. I don’t think that’s too much to ask…I wonder what I have to sacrifice to make that happen…All I ask for from American skating is that the Women's Olympic Team consist of Bell, Chen, and Liu. That's not too much to ask, is it?
International judges under IJS seem to disagree with you ...
“Raf-USFS Team” must’ve done a little politicking…just sayin’. Keep those NBC ratings & the US public intere$t up in the run-up to Natls & Olympics, as she won’t be at the GP finals.International judges under IJS seem to disagree with you ...
If Karen's so bad then why are so many U.S. ladies having trouble hitting Karen's Worlds 2021 score? For two of them, why has it been so hard for them to hit it more than once this season so far?
