2015 US Nationals Senior Ladies FS Jan 24

Ashley next. I am too nervous.

 

[shiroKJ]

I feel like we short subtract about 10 points from all freeskate/freedance scores. Seriously, Chock and Bates almost matched Meryl and Charlies OGM scores.

Everyone across all disciples were way overscored.

 

[Layfan]

Argh, I just can't get out of my Mirai funk. I mean, I didn't expect her to win and I thought she'd have to fight pretty hard to get a medal but this...

 

[Franklin99]

Everyone does Every costume of Tuna is perfect... Like how???

Who's Tuna?

 

[LittleLotte29]

Sorry, but Courtney look ridiculous in this dress, pretending a ballerina. It's not her. It's tiring to watch. She's clumsy, doesn't finish her moves and is sooo messy. Please, change this program.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Hicks bores me to death. Unfortunately.

Karen Chen is trending on twitter

 

[ucrgirl]

So very nervous. I want Gracie to win, but I think she lack of training will affect her confidence.

 

[aa456]

Courtney ' program just doesn't hold your attention. Her short was more suitable for her

 

[Lucy25]

Ugh, Hicks artistry is so non-existent.

I agree. It's nice to read that she has so many followers on this board, but I find nothing attractive about her skating at all.

One thing that bother me about the 14-15 year old skaters, is that while they're so light and have really great speed, they sometime skate too fast for their music. Like thy're only focusing on landing their jumps and neglect their choreography.

Karen lacks deep edges imo. I'm not sure if that contributes to the rushy-rushy-busy-bee program or not. Her spiral was on the flats, even though she has great back and leg position. Love her energy though, her lutz is nuts! I think Karen will be the US lady I'll follow, she is far more interesting than Gracie+Polina. Hope she doesn't get too far into Tacky-Salsa.

Yes, I am not even upset about her placement really as I had braced myself for it, I am upset about HOW IT HAPPENED.

 

[RABID]

I really enjoyed Karen's skating and jumps, but that score....way overscored.

2018. Karen. Chen. Wow!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Courtney was definitely off tonight. I didn't feel that this program suited her style, although I appreciate that she's trying to broaden her repertoire. As many others have commented, the costume is poorly made/designed and does not suit Courtney's body type at all. Her hair and make-up looked nice though.

I think we feel that Yuna's costumes are so amazing because her physique is so ideal.
Any of her costume on Courtney doesn't seem like the most pleasing sight. She needs something that suits her body.

 

[breynows]

GO ash

 

[satine]

Ashley just said she was terrified to her coach?!

 

[loopy]

I thought Courtney's costumes were designed and created by her mom? I think Courtney's boots are breaking down, they have deep bends in them, I bet timing was off in getting new ones.

 

[Hanmgse]

Come on Ashley!! SLAY
