Ladies SP
Wonderful job by all the ladies. They should be very proud of their skates. The results are exactly right. I think Agnes was overmarked. Her triple-triple was great but she lacks presentation and finesse, which I hope will come with time. Her costume was unlovely. Whoever designed that needs a creative time out.
Mirai was exceptional and her program was sophisticated, intricate and beautifully executed. Alissa was, as usual, elegant and graceful, with powerful spins. Just lovely. Rachael was a nice surprise. She is working on her presentation and her jumps were nice, but the arm flailing wasn't great. I am sure she meant them to be expressive of the uplifting music but this where a choreographer should have refined the program a bit. But still, she did well and she has improved. Happy to see that.
Ashley is such a wonderful skater. But Scott was right, she has to stop wanting it so much. She has many gifts and I love to watch her skate.
I hope they all do well tonite. Their hard work is paying off.
