Interesting--Ashley's TES is higher than Christina Gao's. Dying to see those protocols.
It's all relative. That was about 8 points worst than Nagasu, with the fall and one point deduction. Makes sense to me.
Too bad, Alissa missed the last group by just one place (7th place). If she just made one mistake instead of two, she would have been in 4th or 5th.
No edge call for Cohen just some -GOEs on the combo! :agree:
So now you are denying the flutz ever happened.lol Gee and the fanatical Sasha fanatic(TM) label doesn't fit you MUCH. Lmao
Now back to ignore.
Okay, looks like it's between the Top 4:
Mirai & Sasha virtually tied for 1st place after the short.
And Rachael only a few points behind, easy to catch up & overtake as the FS is her specialty.
It's Ashley Wagner I worry about. She's like 7 pts. behind Rach? No too good, this is the thing I was worried about all year, she doesn't have the mindset to win it all. Bombs when the pressure is on (e.g. last year at Nationals bombed the SP, but pulled up in the FS to place 4th, then bombed at Jr. Worlds, which she should have won). These important competitions tell the true story. I don't want anybody on the team that cannot bring it when it counts (aka Alisssa Czisny, which is why I didn't want her on the team).
My predictions from last year still stand: Rach & Sasha.
BUT, Mirai has surprised me a bit, she could win it all on Saturday again with all UR jumps. And then go to the Olympics & be dinged, and finished far behind Rachael.
ALSO, so can Sasha, as her jumps looked wobbly out there, and this was only the SP. I don't know, kinda have a bad feeling about this, judges won't be giving her any gifts (as evidenced here, especially with Mirai in the mix). I just don't know, fellow Sasha Fans.
That said, keep up the eternal hope, and may they ALL skate their very very best on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!
Nagasu, Cohen and Flatt in a virtual tie at the top. Wagner about 7 pts behind. I dunno...can Wagner catch them up to snag a spot on the Oly team?
Does everyone agree that the race for the two spots has been reduced to these Four, and the rest of the competitors are just fighting for 3rd place at this point?

I think Wagner is still in the running but she's a bit at the mercy of what the others do.
The tech caller must have let her slide on the 3T... 69+ good job Flatt..
And go Alissa!!!!!!!!!!!!
