Ashley Wagner, with Olympic hopes at stakes, rips judges at U.S. figure skating championship

San Jose, Calif. • Ashley Wagner called out judges at the U.S. figure skating championships Friday night for her scores in the free skate, which put in jeopardy her chances of returning to the Olympics.

Wagner scored a 130.85 in her strongest event for 196.19, with Karen Chen beating her out for third with a 198.59.

"I'm furious, I am absolutely furious," Wagner said. "I know when I go and I lay it down and I absolutely left one jump on the table, but 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, and I think deservedly so.
