HAS THE TIME COME FOR A MEDALIST WHO HAS MADE THE EDGE OF THE PODIUM TO GO TO THE OLYMPICS?

Ok,I thought I would follow-up on the Ashley Wagner Story,and ask you all what you thought about a 4th-place winner following the other 3 Medalist to the Olympics? Because even Skaters who get 4th place have actually skated while enough to make the Olympics..and...I don't know...maybe it's just me...But maybe our Judges just believe a Skater should be perfect to make the Olympics,which can't happen. I think the time has come to send them... for at least trying. What do you all think? Let's vote....

They sent Ashley to the Olympics in 2014 when she finished 4th at Nationals, so it's not new. It's just that this season Ashley did not have the international results to justify being sent over the 2017 US Champion and the top finisher at last year's World Championships.

Have you been living under a rock? this already happened, with Ashley precisely in 2014, she was 4th
