Well, one could hardly describe Ryan Bradley as boring. Inconsistent yes, boring, no.
Perhaps Agnes, too, will surprise you.

I don't get the Agnes hype. I see much more potential and star quality in Christina. Agnes will likely end up like the rest of Tom Z's skaters.....good, but boring.
I don't get the hype for either of them *shrug*

Saw a Phil Hersh article. It said Nagasu has been released by US figure skating officials to compete in CoC. Apparently Phil had just talked with Frank Carroll by phone. Frank reportedly told Hersh that he had a knockdown, dragout with Mirai a few weeks ago because she wasn't working hard enough. It also quoted Frank as saying its never easy with Mirai.
Interesting, have you a link?
A Frank vs Mirai knockdown, eh? That would have been worth being a fly on the wall to witness.
Mirai has a feistiness and a frankness that is very appealing. She's very lively and passionate. She lets you know what she's thinking at all times, very much wearing her heart on her sleeve. I like her!
Well, well. Time to resurrect this thread once more.
Everybody watch and everybody pay attention:

...and now, let the discussion resume.
And not a bad debut by Agnes Z. Not the best freeskate but then again, some slack can be cut given it was the debut. However, that said- I still don't see what's so great about her- she does seem to have large jumps though, but that's about all I could see.
Gilles, well, can't get much worse than that. To finish last in a field as underwhelming as that...wow. Again, though, better to bomb now than later.
I'm happy for her, I'm glad she won, and I'm glad that this dark cloud hanging over the American ladies has finally been lifted (temporarily)- we FINALLY have a winner of an international event for the first time in three years. THREE years!!
And here we go!
Skate Canada -- Czisny
Cup of China -- Nagasu
Skate America -- Flatt
Cup of Russia -- Wagner
Eric Bompard -- Nagasu (gold), Czisny (silver)
Nagasu (1st and 1st), Czisny (1st and 2nd) and Flatt (1st and 2nd) all make the Grand Prix Final.
Skate Canada: CHECK.
Up next, GO MIRAI!
