I don't know, Ant. I doubt Robin Wagner could have done much in two weeks to change/improve Elene's skating, but she could have helped her quite a bit with mental preparation, which Elene clearly needed after that SP mess in Helsinki. What the long-term effects of Wagner's coaching will be remains to be seen, I guess.Robin's been her coach for what - two weeks. There is very little a coach can do to help a skater in two weeks. Whatever Elene did today she had in her regardless of who put her on the ice.

Did Ashley do a triple-triple???
She did a 3F+2T and a 3(f)lutz.
I'm surprised Hacker got over 50 with that jump content. Her TES was lower than at least 8 other skaters, and IMO she doesn't have the best presentation. But hey, it would be nice for her to end her skating career on a high note, so I hope she does well tomorrow.Clean skate from Katrina Hacker. 3S+2T, 2Lz, 2A. Nice presentation if a bit boring to my taste. Should score well, but the low technical content will keep her at a distance from Wagner, Gedevanishvili, etc. I'm guessing 4th ahead of Reitmayerova.
ETA - sorry, it was 3T+2T.
At least Zhang still makes the Top Ten with the 5th lowest TES score of the afternoon.
The highest ranked Japanese lady is now in 17th place, which is quite shocking.
Zhang was 3rd in the PC scores.Pretty dismal. Better luck to her in the LP.
Congrats to Elene what a comeback!!!
