I tried to watch it and it's a great program, but while she may have improved, the gap between them remains big enough to be distracting.Gilles/Poirier, especially Piper Gilles. Their Hitchcock FD is AMAZING and Piper actually looks plausible skating next to Paul now.
It's just, sorry, I didn't notice her before. And I always thought of her as a non-threat, but after her Black Swan I actually thought she could be a world champ.koatcue, I disagree about Ashley. She has been quite good even before the previous Olympics. Her improvement has been, IMO, marginal but her scores improved a lot because (a) she reduced a lot of the little costly errors she used to make like two-footed landings and (b) she has been able to string together a few seasons of good performances as the American #1.
