I don't know. i think it could be worse. I have to hand it to Ashley for fighting for everything today. She did not give up after that first mistake.

Honestly, I think Ashley Wagner is over-hyped, but I am shocked by her "relatively" low score....I think her combination jump and axel was rather well executed. I would place her in a close third next to Mao Asada..

Elene was better, both technically and PCS wise. Thankfully the judges got it right.( I would have Elene second actually)

I just wonder, is the combo 3L-3T very difficult? I have never seen anyone performing it. Wouldnt it be good to train it as plan B, if 3F-3T does not work?? To me it looked like Ashley had lot of flow out of the 3L to add 3T.


3Lo is an edge jump. Normally, the skater lands with less speed at and edge jump(loop, salchow, axel) when we compare with Toe Pick Jumps(Toeloop, Flip and Lutz). That's why a lot of skaters are more successful with 3T+3T than 2A+3T.

Hmmmm, interesting. I wasn't expecting Asada to make the final group, but it looks very possible now. Helgesson and Marchei will probably go behind Mao, and at least one of Czisny, Murakami, Kostner and Suzuki is likely to not skate well.

No way she undermarked. That's her personal best. She scored pretty close to Yuna and Miki last year.

The pcs seem a little low for the fire and conviction she had is all I am saying but as long as it is consistent (pcs). This means if Alyssa is flat as she can be she needs to be penalized. they did that to Polina K so as long as they mark what they see I guess the relatively low pcs of Alena are fine. I won't compare them to dance where the pcs are really high.

I wonder Why Ksenia doesn't score higher it was purely the best skate of the day.
I hope that she will keep this choreographer at each of her program next season. This is pure art :love:

Her jumps were most likely UR...even if just slightly, the technical specialist in this competition is very very strict. We should wait for the protocol

Kexin has the second highest TES but low PCS put her at 6th so far after Wagner whose TES is 4 points lower. The finish order follows PCS more than TES.

Mao was gorgeous. Wish she didn't attempt the 3A.
Alena was fantastic! Well done! The crowd gave her a standing ovation.
Elene - superb combo, great program, sad about 1A. Could have been the 1st. Brian made her a much better skater.
Ksenia - a very nice program, thank you for the clean skating, finally.
Ashley - didn't like her SP, her LP is a masterpiece, though.

the scores are close. Everybody has a chance in the LP.

blue idealist should maybe hope, pray and beg Canada gets 2 skaters for next year lol. I think the US is in still good shape to get three ladies. Oddly enough a lot depends on Russia and Japan or Russia and the US could destroy each other depending on placements. It looks more and more like Kostner versus Suzuki versus Czisny though i have a feeling one of them will make a mistake in the short. Makarova must have ur's because i thought that deserved second, imho, behind Leonova. I don't think Russia will have two ladies in the final flight unless a Japanese lady and Czisny really skate poorly.
