2012 Skate America Ladies LP

What on earth happened to do the triple lutz-triple loop she did so easily in 2008, now she cant even do a solo triple lutz properly.

She flutzed even worse back then. And I think she didn't get the 3R rotated very often.

Doubt Wagner's going to put a 3-3 in her free if she's going to do a 2A-3T already. No sense repeating a toe when she's repeating flip and loop, which are far more valuable.

Wagner
Score: 127.76, total 189.37 and GOLD!

WOW! Massive score!

I love Ashley so much! Michelle Kwan 2.0!

I wouldn't call Sotnikova's competition a complete disaster. She did land a 3lutz/3toe and I think she's slowly getting it together.

[gmyers]

Adelina another gp bronze because she can't even count like Oda and is totally poor in competition

I think Ashley did great, but 127 is a gigantic score for her performance. I was expecting 124 max - looks like she did really well in the PC department

Ashley did a great job and I like the program - but personally I preferred Christina.....

I also liked Haruka's program -anither great music choice with Mozart's Divertimento.

Ashley has what Sotnikova hasn't - the nerve to win and the ability to cope with pressure. Gao put up a great challenge, but Ashley just swept her aside. Great performance from Ashley

So happy that Ashley was so amazing! She absolutely killed it out there!

Wagner is also 5 years older then Sotnikova. How was Wagner doing as a 16 year old? Oh that's right Ashley finished 16th at Worlds that year. So don't count out Adelina.

I don't like Ashley's dress :(

I didn't either :( Loved her program and her fight- but I don't think the dress did her justice. I think she's beautiful; and I think the dress was too busy and had unflattering cut-outs.

Wagner is coming close to equalling Rachel Flatt, Mirai Nagasu, and Caroline Zhangs's careers now. She is still behind at this point but with each achievement she comes closer. I never thought she would catch up to those women in career achievement.

Sooooo happy for Gao and I'm just happy Adelina made the podium. Adelina has that 'it' factor and it will eventually come together for her.

Nah, she's not a sequel, she's very much her own.

[Jammers]

Ashley is doing much better then Flatt did at her peak. Or Mirai for that matter. And she is getting better unlike those two.
