But after finishing fourth at the u. S. Nationals she does not look happy with that. Reporter the visibly disappointed 26yearold will not be headed to pyeongchang. And she did not hold back.

I want to be on that olympic team. And im really mad that im in this position again. Reporter four years ago, wagner was also a controversy, after finishing fourth at the u. S. Championships but was ultimately picked for the olympic team, due to her strong performances at other competitions. Wagner tweeted, as an athlete, im allowed to be mad. As a senior competitor with over ten years experience, im allowed to question things. Adding, congrats to the lovely ladies of the team. You got me in your cheering squad now. In november, the outspoken star talked to me about the extreme pressure she faces. Aye been competing for 22 years. And i know how to take that feeling and that stress and the nerves and channel it into this competitive energy. And i thrive under that. Reporter the latest uproar isnt the first time wagner has let people know whats on her mind. During the olympics in 2014w go viral. And ashley is with us exclusively. Good morning. Good morning, you guys. We know how you were feeling after the judges scored you. We got to see that in the piece. Its been a week or so. You had some time to rest. How are you feeling as you sit with us. Im feeling okay. I am feeling proud of that moment. Ive had a week to kind of process everything. It was one of those things where youre thrown into the mix. Immediately after, for me, immediately after i found out my Olympic Dreams had come to an end and i think i was just heartbroken. Devastated. I had worked 22 years for that moment and i had put out something that i felt so proud of. You could actually see it. When you ended your program, you had a look on your face like, yes. I know i nailed it. I know that im going. Tell us what it fell seeing the scores was difficult because i know where my second mark consistently falls. And it didnt this week. That was confusing to me in that moment when im feeling the end of this olympic dream, it was heartbreaking. Do i hear a tone of regret a little bit . Are you sorry the way you spoke out the way you did . No. What you see is what you get with me. I pride myself on being honest and open. At the end of the day, based on the selection criteria, they made the right call with these team. Those ladies are getting ready to go to the olympics and i support them entirely. Do you think the judges unfairly singled you out in some way or judged you harder than the others . The only thing i question is my scores compared to my scores in the past. I scored lower on the second mark in my Short Program than i did at a competition that i was injured at. Confused about. But you know, the technical side, i think was totally fair. I ended up where i ended up. That moment i created for myself, a standing ovation at nationals, thats something, for me, ill forever be proud of. Youve been criticized after you spoke about the judges. And some people were saying she was a poor sport she should have been more gracious. I know you stand by what you said. If you have a chance to unring the bell, maybe i would change my tone, some of the words, would you have change ed any of it . Not one thing. I dont think so. I have a lot of experience in this sport. I know what i skate like and where i usually fall. Im allowed to question things. But question things only in relation to myself. These girls earned their spots. I am so excited to be able to kind of take a step back and cheer on team usa. Im so passionate about this sport. Ive been in my liggett myegitimacy for bein team team. I wouldnt do that to another athlete. Team usa has a great team going. You are the first alternate. Is there any space in your heart when you think, maybe ill get to go . Or do you say, ill let that go. Im a competitor through and through. Im going home. Im training for a competition right now. And im going to be prepared if that phone call comes my way. Ill be ready to go. Ashley, excellent. Thanks for coming to see us. We go back over to al who has a check of the weather.
