Maybe 11th of 11 (12th WD) at 2013 US Novice Nationals?
Ashley Shin, Dallas FSC

I believe she also won the intermediate level of the nationals in 2011 or 2012... Can't be 100% sure when exactly...

She struggled with injuries during the nationals, so she didn't do as well as she could have at the novice nationals this past year, though...

I guess she recovered from the injuries

yes ashley shin is the 2012 intermediate ladies champion. also random note, jeremy abbott was registered to compete this weekend at my club's competition, van camp invitational in lansing, mi but i heard he still isn't back from doing a show in japan (so he scratched) and is probably doing the next local competition here at the onyx skating academy. needless to say i am very, very bummed.

Holy crap at K. Chen's score. She got 118, which is great as a junior, but look at her TES -- 69!!!! For perspective, that would've been the third highest TES at Worlds. What the heck did she do? I haven't see any jump content notes on Twitter.

Jason Brown did well: His 82+ in the SP beats both his domestic and international PBs: http://web.icenetwork.com/skaters/detail.jsp?id=100826&mode=I

And how about Michael Christian Martinez in 2nd?! That score is well above his international PB of 67+

My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw 82. And with a mistake!

Of course, no way will he pull that kind of score at TEB, but he's looking good for about 75 internationally, which is still pretty good for an SP with no quad.

3F+3T !! :yay: ok, it was UR, but she's attempting a really challenging program, technically! Her 2A has improved a lot, too! But I don't really understand the program, I think that she still has to work a lot on the interpretation and the choreography in general... However, go Mirai!! :clap:

any news about the score/ranking?

Any video available? Would love to see his program.

I hope so! But unless someone fancam-d it today, we're going to have to wait for the official on-demand stuff.

arty: thank you for the link!! :rock:

can you tell that Ive been waiting to see this?

Good start for Mirai! It seems as if there was a lot of thought about her packaging and program. Granted it's super early in the season and fan cam quality but... She had a very Kim/Kwan-esque vibe going on...quiet confidence...which is what she needs. Very mature, but I hope we see a fun side of her in the LP. Love the white boots. She ditched the triple loop from as the solo jump and upped the technical content with the Lutz (or was it a flip...hard for me to tell...and I'm not great with edge calls). The solo jump was at the 1:30 mark, so does that count for the halfway bonus? The 2A was lovely, and near the end of the program. Again, smart with the triple-triple combo, and then the lutz and 2A in the bonus. The program itself and choreography seemed a little sleepy, but also had nice moments. Here's to a great season for Mirai!

Mirai's SP is quite poor. What happened to the other one she was going to use?

samson · Aug 3, 2013

Thanks so much for posting the SP!! I'm really curious to hear how this was scored. Glad to see her putting out the triple/triple in August and to see her upping the technical content in the jumps.

Excited to see what she has in store for the LP. James Bond is such a risky choice but then again... it seemed to work well for Yu Na. And depending on how they cut the music I can see her really letting loose with it.

Mirai's jumps were fine for the beginning of the season. Her spins were not. The combination spin and the camel both need work. I mention them because Mirai has been a very good spinner in the past.

Agreed AH...perhaps she's been focusing on the jumps more...the first spin especially seemed slow and lackluster. I didn't realize she did a 3F+3T...I thought it was a 3T+3T.

I'm so proud of Mirai!! :yay: making a triple flip/triple toe and a triple lutz as a solo jump will make Mirai in the same leage as Yu-Na Kim. I hope that the USA will consider Mirai for a potential medal contender at the Olympic. With this content she have the complete package of a champion!

Great to hear! Another poster had made a good point about her probably going to be jet lagged from being away on tour but it sounds like she had great first outing.

I'm glad to hear that she has upped her tech content! I think her spins will come back along as she improves her consistency and becomes more comfortable with the program. It's sounds like she doesn't want anyone to count her out

Hicks received a fantastic score this early in the season, she wants that ticket to Sochi!!

I was hoping Mirai would have scored more in the 58-59 range but I guess she got some UR's and possibly an edge call?But overall, she really had a lovely presentation out there..

Amazing score for Courtney!!! Can't believe it!!

Good for Mirai and Polina as well! But what happened to Leah...? Injuries or growth spurt or both...?

And I don't see Caroline Zhang...
