Z/B were 6th and 7th in this year's GP, while D/C were 3rd and 4th. With such a small margin here, I'm thinking USFSA are going to send D/C.

Amanda Evora is still better than all the pairs put together - I miss her so much! A very difficult decision ahead for the US fed. I would send D/C because they are great technically and capable of better scores at the international level. I would send Z/B because they are lovely and have shown technical skill and strength plus Amanda is on their team.

the margin is so slow because usfs gave D/C the olympic spot with that ridicolus score, this is worse than russian nationals..
I think USFSA main concern is maintaining the 2 spots it already has and who's to say that medals aren't possible at worlds? The worlds directly after the Olympics are always unpredictable.I say if a skater or team gives you no hope of sending 3 spots to Worlds next year and no hope of a medal, then go with who skated better at Nationals and that was Felicia and Nathan. Caydee and John are going to come nowhere close to a medal at Olympics or Worlds. They finished outside of the top 2 and therefore to be fair should not be named to the international team.
They will send Z/B, which is a correct choice. Z/B has another four years left in them. John and Caydee not so much. All of those pairs team are non factors as far as USFSA is concerned anyway.

Is this site being slow again for anyone?

That -- and also, having the two best options for the team event (though only one team skates).
Still, hope they send Z/B!
