Alaine, Polina and Ashley had gross 1lo-3S combinations. They need to watch a few Sasha Cohen videos. Sasha had nice flow and is one of the only ones I have liked in competition.

Gonna defend my girl and say Ashley's was not so bad. Polina somehow manages to get more distance on the telegraphing of her combo than the jumps, which is my main issue. Alaine's is not pretty, but not many of her jumps are.

Most likely the Americans Gold and Wagner are sitting in 7 and 8 after this group. Meaning if someone falters, we should be looking at three spots.

Ashley's actually doesn't bother me (which is amazing, considering jumps aren't always her forte), but Polina's and Alaine's look really labored and awkward to me.

Really good fight from Alaine there. I felt like she could have fallen on so many of those jumps, but she kept upright through sheer willpower.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

No matter what Alaine......I got your back. You

 

[badknees]

What placements do the U.S.A. girls need to keep 3 for worlds next year?

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

if it was a stepout then good on her for quick thinking

It's just how she does her half loop 3S...

The URs might cost her...

 

[randomfan]

I think Alaine will still beat So Youn though.

Wait, so if So Youn is 12th does Korea still get 2 spots next year? I thought it was if she was 10th.

 

[Alchamei]

Fifth. Six underrotated jumps! :shocked:

[Blades of Passion]

What placements do the U.S.A. girls need to keep 3 for worlds next year?

6+7.

They need one of the Asian girls to mess up.

Ashley's is definitely the best out of them. But come on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpUVFT_oEzE So smooth!

 

[Mrs. P]

Well she did enough for Canada to keep two spots.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Yessss!!! Nailed for URs but whew, Canada still has 2 spots.

 

[ahy]

So great news to Canada and Korea

 

[sbaker]

6+7 = 13 so three spots for USA?!?!?!?!

Edited, math and wine are hard... So someone from the last group need to slip below a 185...

 

[satine]

The best gloves for me are Yulia's in Schindler List

+3

 

[Krunchii]

Her PCS is higher than So Youn's

 

[Miss Ice]

Pogo PCS HIGHER THAN PARK?!?!?!?! Are you kidding me?! With all those two foot glides and looks she gave after falling (twice) flat on her stomach or popping her triple?! Seriously?

Someone, please tell me if PCS will ever be fair.

Oh wait, nevermind. Probably never.
