What to watch at US Figure Skating Championships on Saturday
Mirai Nagasu, Bradie Tennell, Karen Chen and Ashley Wagner on the medals podium Friday.
Three-time US champ Ashley Wagner, who complained vigorously about the marks after the free skate, was not included. Asked whether she thought the committee should simplify its selection process and select the top three finishers at the U.S. Championships that year, Nagasu paused before smiling.
Three-time United States champion Wagner, the only USA woman to win an individual Olympic or world medal in the last decade, said she was "furious" on Friday with the marks her free skate to "La La Land" received.
"I'm aware that I'm the oldest here tonight, but I really feel like the comeback kid", Nagasu said on Friday. Surprise U.S. Champion Bradie Tennell, triple-axel wonder Marai Nagasu and 2017 U.S. Champion Karen Chen will be the three women representing the United States in PyeongChang next month. Nagasu, the 24-year-old relative veteran, probably has the most compelling tale of all of them.

Philadelphia 76ers legend Julius 'Dr. J' Erving falls ill at game
J's release is obviously a relief to basketball fans, the 76ers said Friday night his condition was not expected to be serious. He also spent a portion of his post-playing career in the front office of the Orlando Magic.
Wagner, who finished fourth, was named as an alternate. Only Wagner has been to an Olympics among those three. Past performances and a variety of other data are included in the decision making. Tennell only made her debut on the worldwide skating circuit a year prior, but has blazed through the 2017-18 season, and took first place for both her short program (which many commentators labeled "near perfect") and free skate. Tennell, a long shot entering the season, was spotless in the short program two days ago, then as the final skater in the long program she didn't miss a trick under tremendous pressure. "For me to put out two programs that I did at this competition as solid as I skated and to get those scores, I am furious", she continued, "and I think deservedly so. It's indescribable to me". The 2017 United States champion and fourth-placed finisher at last year's world championships, made the podium and the Olympic team despite battling illness this week. Nagasu, the second American woman to land a triple axel in worldwide competition, is as technically advanced as anyone that could have represented the United States in South Korea.
She was still crying in, appropriately, the kiss and cry area when the marks showed Nagasu she had shattered her personal best by almost 20 points with a 213.84. She put those struggles to an icy death with a superb showing that had one flaw toward the end. When her score of 130.25 appeared, the spunky veteran shook her head in pointed disagreement. Wagner's program was not as technically lucrative as Tennell's or Nagasu's, but she has never been known as one of America's best jumpers.
And Polina Edmunds, the third member of the 2014 team, withdrew from the Championships after skating her short program.
Then, she won the 2018 Nationals with a Cinderella-inspired routine that left viewers in awe. "Due to shooting pain in my right foot", she wrote on Twitter (believed to be due to a bone bruise she has been suffering with this past season), "I can not perform today".
