I'm from Russia and, may be, don't understand americam situation.
So I can't understand - how Osmond may be ahead Wagner if both skate clean.
I've seen both videos. Wagner had her ordinary for this season skatng (when she skates clean), Osmond the same. Skating of both is so american.
I don't see great progress of Osmond in season (while I see her great progress from previous season).
Osmond's technical advantage is not so high (1.8 points of base value, both skated clean with good GOE) to overcome more mature Wagner's skating.
So why?
PS I don't love Wagner very much, but understand her level.
