2015 US Nationals Senior Ladies FS Jan 24

[Mista Ekko]

Yes, some. But not like this!

She rotated all of her jumps including 3-3's, She has never done this internationally yet.

75 is definitely too much, But honestly her program is probably better than Adelina's olympic one,
And it's the same PCS so...

 

[Alba]

Congratulations to all medalists.

I still think though that Gold is the best skater that USA has, at the moment. She is not fully developed yet, and she needs more confidence, but IMO she is it for the future. I believe in Polina too, if she can survive the growing pain which I think she will.

Not counting Chen yet, but she seems very strong too.

 

[Layfan]

lmfao Ashley. calm your ego .

But that is what part of what has carried her this far! She refuses to let anyone tell her she is not awesome.

 

[mirai4life]

Why is everyone complaining? Adelina got a 149 at the Olympics of all places with a hideous program and a mistake and a triple toe that was definitely < worthy.

Everyone ripped Adelina apart alive.

Have you not listened to her recent press conference before Nationals?

1. That's only one comment, one time. If you want to talk about a bad attitude, I expect a more wide ranging spread of comments.

2. She said it was nice for her to make the team last year because it showed the Fed supported her. I don't view that as entitled no. though it was dumb to say out loud. Entitled would be 'I deserve X because I am the best. The fed should support me bcause I am the best.'

Have you got anything else? Or do you just dislike her because she made the Oly team over Mirai?

ETA you added to your post and are referencing a different thing. Can you please link? I have not heard/read it so can't comment at this time. It's also still only one example.

Her lutz was also obviously wrong edge, Meaning she had no descent lutz the whole competition,
But must we go through all that again?

Just making the point that 148 for Ashley isn't all too crazy.

 

[Violet Bliss]

lmfao Ashley. calm your ego .

I love her ego. It makes her a champion.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Mariah Bell also qualifies for Jr. worlds as well.

Okay then. So they could also send her in with Chen... and how's everything else?

 

[jkun]

lmfao Ashley. calm your ego .

I think she's just confident. It's not like she was saying the WC gold is hers and telling the Russians to go home

 

[gravy]

Ecstatic for Ashley!

So do you guys think Polina will be sent to Worlds? Or Cesario?

 

[matcha]

lmfao Ashley. calm your ego .

She's so cocky (more confident, very glib), and I think I love it tbh. Attitudes like this are commended in men, reviled in women.

 

[Kwanford Wife]

lmfao Ashley. calm your ego .

yeah... 10 minutes ago, I was all about it...but then she opens that mouth & I go right back rolling my eyes at her...

 

[drivingmissdaisy]

Inflation aside, Ashley's LP was the best of any we have seen this season.

 

[EdgeCall]

You're right... Russians like to save their screwing with the scores for the bigger events: Rostelecom, Sochi Olympics...

 

[Watermelondrea]

Agh, c'mn. USA were first to give the example on doing it... Slutskaya commented on Adelina's win straight. But i don't want to start arguing on this topic - unless one is undoubtedly the best, the politics always matter.

Yes they do. PCS? At Olympics they are Political Competition Scores.

 

[Layfan]

Ecstatic for Ashley!

So do you guys think Polina will be sent to Worlds? Or Cesario?

Why on Earth would it not be Polina?

 

[OS]

Karen!

:hopelessness: Mirai

Ashley

Gracie.

 

[RABID]

Not normally a fan of Ashley's but that is the best performance I have ever seen of hers. World class. Every move, step and jump was done with confidence; it made the performance ring. Kudos to Karen and Gracie; definitely belong on the podium.

 

[shiroKJ]

Seeing the scores for the ladies im strangely anticipating tomorrow's event

 

[tulosai]

Ecstatic for Ashley!

So do you guys think Polina will be sent to Worlds? Or Cesario?

Polina. No question.
