Kexin has a lot of potential. She needs a little confidence on herself and a better program/packaging!
At least Mao got to attempt the 3A before worlds. Hoping to see her 3F-3L at worlds along with the 3A :D
Caroline medaled!! I think Mao is way too thin. She doesn't have the power she used to have. Very happy for Ashley and Caroline!!!
Wagner... not that good at giving interviews. I got what she was trying for, but....

Ashley wins. Fantastic job!
And Caroline gets the bronze.![]()
Mao has bee underrated for a while. I'm so sad for her. Hope she can win worlds next month!
Okay, that question was poorly phrased, but give her credit for her answer.

Congratulations to Ashley!! Now has to be the joint favourite with Carolina Kostner for Worlds. No longer the 'almost girl', but a real contender. Well done to her and to John Nicks - the architect behind the transformation
Sadly, Mao just didn't have it today and I think that her jumping technique just remains too brittle when under pressure. Nevertheless, its great improvement on last year and she may still get it together in time for Worlds
What a goofy interview.
