Worth The Wait

Chellsie Memmel is fine with waiting. Sure, she’d love to break into the top two in tonight’s final, which would guarantee herself a ticket to Beijing, but she’s fine with the fact that she probably won’t know for sure if she’s going to the Games until the conclusion of the final Selection Camp, which concludes July 20.

“I think it’s good,” she said of the drawn-out process. “I think it makes us work even harder and makes us be at the top of our game. We want to be our very best at the Selection Camp, and I think that’s good. The more competitions we have, the more practice we have before the Olympics.”

According to Memmel, the more time she has, the better. “I am trying to constantly improve and I do want to build up my ‘A’ scores a little bit more,” she said. “I think I can do it.”
