Excellent 3T-3T by Mae but then she pitches forward on the 3R.

Solid skate, though she still needs a lot of work on skating skills and posture.

With only Ashley against her it is a possibility. But she has to land her jumps.

Jason Brown's music. This pales in comparison.
Gotta give credit not only to Jason but also to choreographer Rohene Ward.

Mae sold it well. I don't get why the British commentators say that Mae reminds them of Surya Bonaly. Other than the fact that their both black I see no similarity in their skating. Mae is the far superior skater as far as edgework, etc. imo.

Yeah, agreed. I have never felt this way about Adelina before though- I have always (accurately) thought she was going to blow it. I guess we will see. I do think that (if reasonably clean) she and Ashley are the only 2 with any shot at winning, with Pogo a dark horse if they really really mess it up.

It is because they are both powerful and athletic, with problems in the areas of posture and artistry. I do think Mae has better edging and has potential to grow further than Surya did though.

You're looking for phantoms that aren't there. Lacoste's program was dull as dishwater and not skated with any particular inspiration.
I love Mae Bernice! She was one of my awesome surprises when I went to Skate America last year. She has huge jumps and has a nice presence. She definitely looks better in person than on TV/internet screen.

Solid skate, but I've seen her jump better

Yes, she was a bit shaky all around. Will be under Pogo for sure.
