As I said in another thread a few days back, they probably had the decision already when Liza said she was tired of the selection process and Med said if she was selected she would do her best. There is no wave without wind(old saying). Going further back, those media talks were there not for no reason. Med staying in Russia after nationals was not just for some superficial reasons. Some people have more connections.
Yes, you read my mind. This is exactly what I think. Medv was so relaxed at RCF and so happy she finnished first even with such a low margin, because she already knew she was on the team. And Liza's statement afterwards... I am so... mad... sad... I don't know. For Liza's sake I say don't look back, go further. I hope she reads not necessarily this, but posts like this that she knows she has many fans and so many people support her. Please Liza, don't give up. I give up if you do. I won't watch figure skating anymore because I can't stand this. I prayed for Anna P to not give up... figure skating shouldn't be like this.
