2017 U.S. Nationals Championship Ladies SP

Mirai's reaction to her scores:

"Oh, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!"

I love this girl.

Plus, she looked amazing tonight. Have I mentioned that yet? I probably have but it deserves repeating.

 

[desertskates]

I love you me some Mirai---but that score ?!?!

 

[noidont]

Everyone is holy overscored. Mirai deserves to be ahead of Wagner.

 

[ice coverage]

damn where's her coach?

Tom Z was there to greet/congratulate Mirai when she came off the ice.

As was Drew Meekins.

The next skater, Rebecca Peng, also is a TZ skater, so TZ prob. stepped away to put her on the ice -- while Drew sat with Mirai in the K and C.

Congratulations to Karen, Mirai :luv17:, and Ashley.

This is not grin throughout the program type of music...

 

[Nathan13]

Well...I like this unpredictability, its just like Pairs

Who would've thought that Karen Chen would win the Short? (I mean, its really not that surprising that she has 72+ potential, but we've just never gotten to see a perfect skate from her). I wonder if being in 2nd will affect Mirai's decision on the 3A?

Poor Rebecca. Every element is yellow!

 

[da96103]

Rai's back!

 

[Weathergal]

Yaaaas Mirai!!!!! So happy for her!

 

[Layback11]

All of Rebecca's elements are under review...oh dear.

 

[evasorange]

I like mirai and it was a good performance but her and Ashley should have switched scores...sigh I guess my queen has to fight from behind once again

 

[Meoima]

Why is Ashley always underscored at Nats?
But Mirai's points was fair relative to Karen.

Your must have forgotten the year they gave Ashley 148...

 

[Yatagarasu]

6 yellow boxes, that's a first tonight. Make that 7

 

[twirlingblades]

I'm not sure if I agree with Mirai being over Ashley... 71 is high for that, especially with the loop being that two-footed.

 

[da96103]

Rebeccas Yellow Peng. Sounds racist but I am referring to the boxes.

Doubtful. If she was a lot lower she'd put it in. But she's in second. Better to be pragmatic.

Rebecca Peng: 3F+3T, 3T looks < on first glance. Horrible fall on the 3Lo. 3-turn out of the 2A. ALL YELLOW!!! I'll add a shot to the "Stop talking, Tara" drinking game.

 

[Chemistry66]

Poor Rebecca. Two downgrades, eek.

And and underrotation. Only 41+? Ouch.

 

[chairmanmao]

Ashley underscored . When has that happen?

Ashley did have an under rotated 2A.
