I hope Agnes keeps skating! Scott just said she was close to quitting--I hope whatever happens this gives her confidence to keep going. Her kind of boyish charisma is so refreshing!

Ashley and Alissa going to Worlds. Too many mistakes but wow, i really like Agnes.

yup, it looks that way. But, despite the falls, this really is a huge deal for Agnes and man, she can jump. I mean she can really, really jump. It's awful when a good jumper makes jump mistakes. But, with another year, and some experience, I bet those mistakes wont' happen again. I mean, she can really jump. And, she has great posture and lovely expression.

I don't think she did either! I was telling my bf she was going to flutz and then I blinked because... she didn't...

If that wasn't a flutz then I don't know what is. I think 123. is too high for 2 bad elements.

[Olympia]

That was harrowing to watch. Poor Agnes. But she still did a great job overall.

[lavender]

Does Scott watch the gp series? This is not uncharacteristic of Agnes to fall and have mistakes.

[artsciboy]

Wow she did it.

Why is Scott surprised by Agnes falling.

Maybe Alissa will get to go to worlds.

Exactly - its not like Agnes was a model of consistency in the years before.

[icebeauty]

Agnes is disappointed, BUT the good thing is she's not devastated...all those mistakes were silly, but she'll be back for sure.

We need a poll on which commentator is the biggest jinxer.

Scott always seems to say something RIGHT as the skater is jumping, and then they fall.

[Serious Business]

Congratulations to Ashley Wagner! She wasn't bragging in the fluff pieces, this championship was hers to lose, and she just won it.

Gotta be Hamilton, IMO. I tuned in late tonight, but I always cringe when I hear him wax on about skaters (especially Alissa, I think).

Sad for Agnes, but wow has she got a future. I see her ending up in 4th.

Congrats Ashley, I'm so glad the day has finally come!

Congratulations to Ashley Wagner! She wasn't bragging in the fluff pieces, this championship was hers to lose, and she just won it.

I am so proud of her and happy. She's waited SO many years for this.

[Chemistry66]

Agnes needs a 120.97. She gets a 107.86.

ASHLEY WAGNER IS THE NEW US WOMENS FIGURE SKATING CHAMPION! 'BOUT DAMN TIME!

[CassAgain]

Ashley Wagner, US Champion! Thrilled for her!

[Kissx3]

Wow, Caroline so close to the bronze here.

Good try from Agnes, but it's best that Alissa go to Worlds. It would've created a very strange situation had she won.

[lavender]

I'm sooo happy Alissa gets to go to worlds. Congrats on her gold. I agree they need to consistently send the same people to worlds to get a good rep.
