@Louis ' comments were fair and he had said the same about Karen a while ago before China and France. That said, it wasn't like her UR problems were a secret from the Fed or a new thing this season. Same for Alysa and Mariah - both had jump issues too. Mariah didn't even have a sal at Worlds. It was simply a shame that Amber and Lindsay didn't step up when they could have - not just at Nationals but also over the entire season, and Bradie was too injured, to make things more competitive. No one was exactly doing Karen any favours but it was more so that her competitors couldn't catch up even though her jumps were handicapped.
Happy for Alysa, but sad for Mariah. Like Karen, this was probably her last shot as her jumps start to desert them.
