Karen Chen, our Lord and Savior! Stealing that from Patrick Commentators Skating.

OMG THAT WAS GREAT!!!

 

[Lissy]

Yeah... I don't "get" it. Hope Ashley kills it and wins.

TBH it's not a good strategy to have her choreograph her own program. She's charming and that's what carried her but the program it's is eh.

Also, yes to Ashley! :agree2:

 

[Imagine]

OMG that was amazing! I got chills....glimpses of a young Yuna for some odd reason.

Is it just me, or is she tiny though? Gigantic jumps...she's like a version of Miyahara Satoko but with good jumps and personality. Love it. USFS has a future yet.

 

[Plisskin]

I think their reviewing her 3-3. The box turned yellow towards the end.

 

[MIM]

Karen!!! Omg!! That was very fulfilling!

 

[da96103]

Karen's tango music isn't very tango-ish.

 

[mrrice]

Karen is so FIRE. She's amazing to watch

Is she coached by Tammy Gambil?

 

[Trewyn]

Go Ashley! Be fierce. Be the queen.

Commentator just said she's 4'11", so very tiny.

Hmm. I think we are looking at our National Champion.

Ashley is less then 2 points behind and her PCS marks are bound to be really high (deserved or not) so its not close to a done deal yet. If Ashley doesn't implode and is semi decent then I think she pulls it off

 

[loop9497]

Wow, Karen did that! I like how she was all about staying calm, almost to the point of coming across as nonchalant at certain points when they had the cameras on her after every skater while she was in the back after the SP and during the interviews. I think she just didn't want to get too hyped or overconfident but probably felt pretty decent about her chances of doing well tonight.

 

[demitasse]

KAREN THAT SCORE.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

141? :shocked:

 

[Plisskin]

Okay, her 3T was definitely UR in slowmo.

 

[museksk8r]

Ashley has to be perfect! No pressure.

 

[nocturnalis]

That's my girl!

 

[andromache]

So....are these Nationals programs flukes or is she just not a first-half-of-the-season skater?

Such a wild card for Worlds. She could place anywhere from 3rd to last.

How was that 3T NOT called UR though?

 

[jaylee]

Fabulous performance from Karen Chen! 3T was slightly URed, she doubled the first salchow, and she skidded on the final 2A, but who cares? Wonderful!

I hope so! I love Karen but I am really pulling for Ashley.
