I thought Mirai's skate was super. True, the spunky little teenager is gone, but I like this new lady just fine!

IT girl brings it! Nice performance from Ashley. That last flying spin could have used more speed towards the end.
Wagner in first (obviously) with 67.57. Only Zawadzki left.
Wow. That's less than I would have thought for a clean program.Originally Posted by ForeverFish
PCS:32.83 TES:34.74 Total:67.57
Good job, AshleyI'm surprised that there's no inflation on the scores.
Mirai's TES 34.73
Ashley's TES 34.74.
Even with no 3-3 Ashley squeaks by Mirai's TES.
If she had a 3-3, I think she would've passed 70. Alas, maybe for Worlds, because only the apocalypse can stop her from getting there. That, or injury.
I am surprised Ashleys score was not higher. It is almost the same as she got at the GP final in front of international judges. Maybe U.S judges havent caught onto to the National inflation craze of other countries though.
Wow. They're really going the route of non-inflation in this Nationals (low-balling, even). It's kind of like Korean Nationals when the judges gave Yuna a 64 (then again, she had some pretty major mistakes).
Glad for Ashley though!
I consider that a good thing.
It adds some excitement for the LP. Also, I think this adds pressure on Ashley and others so that they really are competing neck and neck.
she didn't skate with her normal fire and attack.
Zawadzki is solid, from what I see on Twitter.
PROTOCOLS! I want to see them! :( It's killing me not to be able to watch the Nationals!
I agree with everybody's comments that Mirai hasn't been connecting as much with the audience as she used to. It's like she's thinking too much. And also, she doesn't finish off her movements completely. As an example, she'll do a bit of an Ina Bauer, but doesn't hold it out.
