EXCELLENT SKATE~! BRAVO. Aside from the popped flip, everything else was A-OK! Too bad about her SP mistakes.

Ashley Wagner - 7th after SP
3flip/2toe (beautiful flow-out, nicely timed with beats of music)
2axel/3toe (two-foot on the toe)
3lutz (beautiful)
very Michelle-esque layback (with free leg down)
beautiful spiral sequence (great extension)
flying sit spin (interesting arm position - one arm raised above head at a slight angle)
3loop/2toe/2toe (nice Ashley!)
3sal (wow)
3loop (from 3-turns - nice)
1flip (aww)
spirited footwork (but I can't help but imagine Sasha's genius footwork...)
final combination spin (good positions, beautiful Bielmann at the end)
Nicely done!
SP: 52.72
FS: 110.73
Total: 165.36 - Currently 1st

HUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge smile on her face and the "Yes! Yes!" with the fist pump. Brava, Ashley!
Ashley showing her usual flair and fight in the LP. She singled her 2nd 3flip and it appeared she two-footed 2 of her triples.
She looks happy!
Uh, no, Scott, there was more than one mistake.
Must be natural talent.Originally Posted by sk8indel
Yeah Ashley!!!!! One mistake; great skate overall. This skater has such talent - my goodness. Loved her program. Love her dress. Loved her energy.
ETA: i was quoting Scott on the one mistake thing, assuming he was referring to the popped jump (as in one glaring mistake).
GREAT COMEBACK BY ASHLEY!!!! WHAT A FIGHTER!!!! *where's Christina Aguilera's song about this*
Only opened up on one triple jump, but landed at least 6 (the running 3-turns into 3R was FAB!)!Couple of cheats looked like to me, but Scott only called 1?
But what a comeback, fighter, et al, if she keeps hanging in there I think she'll have a moment(s) like Alissa Czisny, whom has stuck with it throughout the years!
:(
Why oh why can't Ashely have a clean SP??
That was very nice. Too bad about the little mistakes but that girl really has lovely carriage, lovely lines and lovely spins.
I still don't like the footwork sequences. Doesn't have a thing to do with the music in my eyes.
But good for her in all a very lovely program.
110.73 for Ashley, 165.36 total. Good improvement! If only she could be SP consistant.
110.73 for Ashley's FS.
That lutz was the most amazing one I've ever seen from her. Was it on the correct edge because I can't tell these things.. The popped flip was weird.. Wonder what happened there.. But I do love watching her skate like this.. Sometimes I want to give up on her, but then I watch her skate again and it's just.. she's my favourite!
I fear 110 won't be enough to put Ashley on the podium.
