2013 Worlds Ladies SP

[FlattFan]

Preseason favorite to win gold to skate next.

 

[Sk8Boi]

Seven girls all essentially have the same TES score from Glebova (29.47) to Sotnikova (30.97) ... only 1.5 points difference among Glebova, Brooklee HAN (???!?!?!?!!!!!!!), Helgeson, Suzuki, Gold, Li and Sotnikova in the technical marks.

Hmmmmmmmmm

I'm over the moon for Kanako. I love her SP so much!!! It was so cute how she was happy and said "Ureshiiii!"

Considering Alena's penchant for...interesting costumes...I want her to wear a superhero cape for one of next season's costumes if she does save the Russian ladies' team. LOL

Kanako was beautiful, really comfortable watching her.

And Ashley goes for the 3-2

 

[FlattFan]

Played it safe. Almost lost 3F.
From the way she went into it, I thought it was going to be 3F-3T. But slight problem on the landing, so 2T instead.
Spin was a bit messy, traveled a bit.
Then she slowed down significantly compare to the first minute.

 

[ffionhanathomas]

Yay for Kanako! Definitely deserved.
Fingers crossed for Ashley!

 

[Mrs. P]

Oh Kanako beat Yuna in TES.

LOVE the reaction, so happy for her!!! Can't imagine what it must be like, never knowing whether you've REALLY skated a good short or not until after you get the scores... and hey look, she dyed her hair

If we get 2 spots for Sochi, who will go there?...

I think it works well for her! The dyed hair that is!

Well, clean performance from Ashley. No 3-3 though.

Ashley WAGNER (USA)

Music: Red Violin by John Corigliano

3F+2T - playing it safe, but no 'tano
LSp
CCoSp - travels a bit
3Lo - new placement
2A
StSq
FSSp - travels a bit

No 3-3, but strong clean skate. Will put her in a good place

SP: 33.06 + 30.92 = 63.98
In 4th (out of 31)

She doesn't look too pleased.

 

[Mrs. P]

I think Ashley was smart to go for the 3-2. This panel is strict....better to go for the + GOE.

 

[blue_idealist]

I'm so happy Ashley did well!

 

[drivingmissdaisy]

Geez Canada, we fight to get your pair an OGM in SLC and you can't give our girl more than a tepid applause?

Good skate. Sad she did not do the 3/3.... her posture/carriage has improved a great deal!

Well, clean performance from Ashley. No 3-3 though.

If Helgesson could break 58, Wagner can break 60.

Clean Ashley, but conservative, cautious, and not technically very ambitious. Interesting to see what the judges will do with this.
