This picture of Alissa Czisny says it all.

No one can argue this Alissa Czisny nationals victory. The elegant twenty-three year old skated brilliantly in both the short and long programs to win US Nationals for the second time in her career. Despite a number of shaky landings in her long program, Rachael Flatt pulled up to second place. The two women will represent the US at the 2011 World Championships in Tokyo, Japan. Mirai Nagasu finished third, while Agnes Zawadaki won the pewter medal

Nagasu, Czisny, Flatt -1,2,3 After the Short

As expected Mirai Nagasu, Alissa Czisny and Rachael Flatt compose the top three after the short program at 2011 US Nationals. All three women delivered strong short programs, but only two of them will represent the US at the 2011 World Championships in Tokyo, Japan. The long program is on Saturday.
