Another PHENOMENAL performance, I honestly don't know what I'd do as a judge; lol if it was up to me I would tie her and Caroline Zhang, but then again Caroline has the edge b/c of the very difficult & gorgeous 3R/3R combo. she did. :love:

THEY'RE BRINGING IT, YEAH!!!! :rock:

Interesting. It looks like the judges didn't want to place Ash in front of Alissa, judging by the tight scoring. Ash was clean and lovely, so where is the very slight difference of .08? Also, what is it that gave Agnes that high a score?

finally! she must be so happy!!

And I'm so happy for her. You can tell she really enjoys skating. It would be great if she could have a clean long too :)

So far I'm only sad/upset about Mirai. Everyone else (that I like) has been fantastic!

Sounds about right, Ashley has been bringing it all season long and that gets recognized. :) I'm just sooo happy for Caroline, the brand new Caroline, with beautiful jumps to go along with her already phenomenal artistry and spins, et al. :love:

Now to tell the truth I'm dreading seeing Rachael Flatt; she going to get clobbered.

I guess we'll see. The Nats judges do love her a LOT at least if prior years are any indication. But she does have to go clean.

Personally I don't see how Ashley should have been scored higher than Caroline. I would have Agnes, Alissa, Caroline then Ashley.

To be fair, Ashley did 3F-2T vs Alissa's 3Z-2T.

To be honest I don't think the judges are quiiite that calculating if only in that I don't think it would be possible in the time they have to do the math necessary to place one higher or not (especially by such a small margin) unless you were being obvious about it i.e. giving one all +3GOE and the other +1.

I could be wrong though. I'm not a judge.

ETA: This was to be in response to ArtandSport. Sorry!

Alissa did her best SP of the season except for that 1A, IMO. As for Agnes, you have to see how securely she skated. The smoothness and rideout of the jumps was beautiful, definitely the best of the competition. She's a big girl and sometimes that works against her since she's not a princess type, but the jumps are big too and that's cool. Just a lay opinion here.

Nice jobs by Ashley and Caroline!

Alissa rightfully gets rep points b/c she's the only 2-time National Champ here, as well GPF Champion, et al. If she skates clean she's got a chance at a World Medal. :)
