Oh, I love the parallel universe that is fsu, an alternate reality where Sasha Cohen who in 7 years as a senior never once placed any lower than 5th and in 6 trips to sr nats landed on the podium at every single one, is famously called "inconsistant" but Bradie T who in two years as a senior has been all over the place from 1st to 9th and has sr nat finishes like 6th/9th/1st is continuously called "consistant". I need to return my tv to bestbuy as it seems to be the only one in the world that broadcast her falling at the olys.![]()
No, I definitely saw her fall and under-rotate jumps as well. By no means is Bradie the second coming for the US women. However, even with her all-over-the-place finishes, she has consistently put out respectable performances. Bradie didn't hit my radar until Skate America. Since then she's been far more consistent and reliable that anyone else, that's for sure.
As far as Sasha, she was inconsistent. That doesn't mean she wasn't successful. She was incredibly successful in her career. Could she have been more successful if she managed to stay on her feet? Most definitely. But the name of the game back then was "don't fall," and the game is now called "get the most points." Even with the falls Bradie can get the points...more than any other US woman at this time.
