2016 World Championships Ladies Free Skate

Well looking at the scoresheets I can officially say Evgenia's WR is bogus because she didn't get that edge call on the 3Lz, still a very solid skate though

Reminder: There are no WRs in figure skating and the scoring system is different. The GOE awarded currently is also lower than back then.
 
Ashley, finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!World medal!!!!

How much I've so badly wanted you to be on the podium at Worlds. I'm crying like a river....I can't control my emotion.

Also, Anna excellent job!!! Congratulation!!!!

I've been an Ashley fan for so long, I'm so happy she did it, and with a clean long program!!!
 
I didn't want Medvedeva to win but her free skate was perfect. I liked a lot. Happy for Ashley (as an Ashley fan) and Anna. Happy for Gracie to win the short.
 
Monster ladies competition. Juniors should start learning tougher jumps now considering so many ladies are goin for 2 3-3's now.

To think we weren't even sure if Anna would be on the World's team a few weeks ago.
 
Anna she is the real winner here... after that disastrous SP at NHK, after all that critics, she made it! :yahoo:
 
Congratulation to all newbie on the podium!

Ten years ago who would have thought it is Ashley who will end the drought.

Yup.

Hypocrites complaining about her PCS. There are exactly where they should be compared to the scores of the rest of the skaters.

PCS standings

Ashley 73.78
Evgenia 72.34
Gracie 69.85
Mao 69.30
Anna 68.11
Elena 67.94
Satoko 66.35
Rika 63.60
Gabrielle 63.15
 
Shows that Ashley has all the goods but she still needs to work on her very basic fundamentals. Shes still making mistakes that costs her points here and there. I was hoping that she actually wins the gold medal instead of Evgenia. Nevertheless, props to Evgenia for skating 2 completely clean programs although she had a bogus lutz.

And once again, Gracie succumbs to pressure. I don't blame her, but she should start looking out for a good sports psychologist soon and she has never ever skated a clean SP and LP if I recalled correctly. If she does, she will be unstoppable even in the face of the usually inflated Russians.

Now for the provocative part....
I know this seems a little late, but a WR for Evgenia? Seriously? Saying this in the presence of anger, but why not give the Evgenia LP video downvotes too because shes even more ridiculously overscored than Gracie? (Please don't do that to either skater) I guess Mao Asada should just retire now in the midst of all these Russian overscoring. When an American is slightly overscored, everyone overreacts. When the Russians have been all along overscored (with the exception of Pogo and Elena, they're slightly underscored if you place them beside Evgenia), people take their overdramatic 'musicality' and say it deserves higher PCS than the big names. (Evgenia has more PCS than Asada???????) Elena knows figure skating at the back of her hands, and there is a reason why she appears to hate Evgenia. Even their own kind is irritated at the Evgenia overscoring. Personally, Yuna's LP felt more memorable when I first saw it compared to the W/E program by Evgenia which I actually have little memory of it as of now.

Did anyone else notice in the victory ceremony,Anna only hugged Evgenia and not ashley before she went on the podium....how rude!!!
 
I cried for Mao, Evgenia and Gracie... Why take that medal away from Gracie? She is such a beautiful Fire Bird!!! I cannot accept the results... :cry:
 
I am so happy for Ashley!!! I'm glad she finally got a world medal and the silver medal at that. I wish she'd done a better technical performance (with NO URs), but I'm glad her performance quality got the recognition it deserves. So awesome!

Medvedeva was great but her score was too high. Pogo and Miyahara were also great. I am sorry about Gracie. I think there was a bit of home cooking with the marks- Gracie would've won with a WR score if she'd gone clean. That doesn't seem right to me (and neither does Medvedeva having the WR score).
 
I think Anna was just too excited and forgot to hug Ashley. After she got her medal, she did seem to look to her right and say what looked like "sorry". #Eurosmedalceremony for that pose with Evgenia!

What a plot twist it is that Anna's a worlds medalist and Radionova is nowhere near the podium! I wonder how the balance of power will change in Russian fed?
 
NBC never shows the medal ceremony. Seriously.... They need to do better. I didn't see any of the reactions to the scores except for a few people.

She also got +1~2 GOEs for both of her barely eeeked out 2As. Holding up your arm over your head does not make a bad jump good.
