You know, I think Ashley and Nicks works. I can see a lot of improvement.

ETA: 110 HOORAY!

D: Skating to Black Swan soundtrack, such an ugly and awful movie. Very good job for Ashley, though. Love the staccato, pop and lock wing movement during the arabesque spiral, though.

I don't think he's the right coach for Mirai. This tough love thing doesn't seem to be helping at all and her jump technique remains dodgy. She should find someone else.


She needs to call Stephane Lambiel! He could bring some fabulousness to her skating. She seemed rather disinterested in both her programs at SC - and I don't blame her.

Re Akiko, always nice to see a skater who holds her landings rather than rushing into some transition. But I can't stand Die Fiedermaus.

And Rachael, honey, your hair. The skate gods clearly do not approve.

Love Frank and he's the coach for most but I reluctantly agree. I felt this last season. It thought just keep crossing my mind for some reason,

Ashley Wagner has shown great improvement this year. Very impressive. Amongst American skaters, only Alissa Czisny and Gracie Gold have done better in my opinion. John Nicks has done wonders with her. The Eurosport commentators compared her with Natalie Portman!

Yay! A medal for Ashley! Well done to her and well deserved. :clap:

He wasn't the coach for Carolina Kostner, either. She was dreadful when she was with him and returning to Huth did her a world of good. Frank doesn't know what to do with the inconsistent ones, it seems.

110 and she's happy
As well she should be - it's a new PB for her, I think.
