2012 Skate America Ladies SP

[tulosai]

I very much enjoy watching Imai. Too bad about the small mistakes because for me they did impact the flow. She truly is a lovely skater. I'd have her under Gao and Meite, personally, but her line and spins are gorgeous..

I love all these dresses. It is major pretty overload.

True! just hoping they're all going to do as good as they look

beautiful haruka, beautiful dress, and her skating skills and posture have improved so much since moving to yuka sato. i like this program--nice music, choreo, a nice balance of tasteful and glamorous rather than in your face sexy.

GOOO Ashley!!!

John Nicks is ADORABLE.

ashley, great program, i like the music cuts, the pacing, the intensity overall. the dress is nice, too. the 3-3 is to come then? this is very good for first GP.

and it wasn't necessary for them to declare that the top score is currently such and such... as if they're milking for effect... look how far the US champ outpaces the field.

that, and i hate commentary in general

[Li'Kitsu]

Ashley wasn't perfect, but the program suits her. I really liked it, looks like a good season for her

And now Adelina, go girl!!

[tulosai]

Not a fantastic skate for Ashley. Honestly a bit surprised by how high she score is. Very solid though, lots of personality. Really fights for everything, I have lots of admiration for her.

I couldn't agree more - I really, really like this program. Can't see where a 3-3 is going to go unless she takes out the 'tano-toe' to make it a triple. But really this program has many nice features include the split jump or falling leaf? out of her double axel. and i love, love the music cuts.
