GO CAROLINE! Don't let the SP score affect your performance!

(Dang, Scott and Sandra are on Caroline's side in terms of her SP score!)

ETA: She's attacking with this program. I'm pretty sure she's determined and pissed.

This should be fun :popcorn:.

The things I'm looking for:

-Ashley should win, but I'm more interested in getting a sense of how she wins. Is she peaking and looking like she's chomping at the bit to mix it up with the world's best? Can she send a sharp-edged "message" skate to the other top-skaters and the judges that she is not to be ignored?

-Can Gracie demonstrate one of the marks of a champion, that she's got the sand to lay down a thumping free skate after a somewhat disappointing SP, all under some real pressure? (this aint Juniors anymore, and based on the interviews, it seems that the realization that she's now playing for keeps has finally sunk in)

-I'd love to see Mirai show that she's not going to let her career slowly dribble away, but is ready and willing to take back her place in the skating firmament. She's got to do it now. She's not the spring chicken on the block anymore.

Scott: "If its not visible to the audience..." on Caroline's underrotated loop loop in the short.

"Many felt that the judging was harsh"! (commenting about Caroline's SP) Tell it Sandra! :)

Caroline is on fire. She really came prepared for nationals.

Please don't let them bury her again, she's so happy.

Strong skate, clean on the jumps! Nice to see. Doesn't perform much, but I hope she doesn't get dinged on too many UR's.

Great skate Caroline...although I think she under-rotated her 3L jump combination

Oh my goodness ... Scott is crying after Caroline's performance.

SCOTT AND SANDRA LOVE CAROLINE TODAY.

I DON'T CARE IF HER JUMPS WERE RATIFIED EITHER, SANDRA. That was SUCH a lovely performance!

I'm thrilled for Caroline! I'm happy she can deliver clean programs now so she can focus on working to get that little bit more rotation on her jumps so she can find herself competing for a podium position again.

If this doesn't score 100+ I'm going to scream.
