All this over 3 spots at the Olympics is meh. The past few seasons we have had 3 spots for Worlds and we still have the same inconsistent skaters yo yo'ing with their results on the world stage. Maybe with 2 spots, we will finally see skaters raise the bar and take American skating up another notch. JMO
This is the "glass half full" approach I'll take if we drop down to 2 spots. That 3rd spot is a cushion in some ways. Taking it away may inspire a bit more competition across the board. So if by the end of next month we know there are only 2 spots for Pyeongchang, I would hope that would light a major fire under everyone's butt next year...plus, can you imagine how intense nationals would be? Triumph for the top two, heartbreak for whoever is 3rd. That makes for great drama which is what this sport is all about anyway
