What are the consequences for the Shibs not winning Nationals this time around? From what I heard Nationals placement is very important for perception? The US will probably get the bronze in PC but is that up in the air between the Shibs and H/B now?

 

Yes, I figure it's going to be a bit bumpier than predicted for that bronze. We'll have to wait and see of course, as the Shibs themselves have been iffy with this free and once on Olympic ice, it may repeat itself. I think this bronze will probably be one of the more contested medals during these Games. I expect something similar for the Pairs, as I doubt anyone can dislodge S/H and S/M from the top two places but the bronze is a much bigger question.
