2017 U.S. Nationals Championship Ladies FS

[smarts1]

omg does this mean the team is Mariah, Ashley, and Karen?????? I guess goodbye three spots...

So US will have no champions only CHEN-pions in ladies and men.

Poor Mirai... rough skate... I totally agree with Johnny and Tara in this case - Mirai really, really needs to sell this program. It's such an emotional piece of music, and she just has a completely flat affect. Lovely dress and spins, as always...

She wear her heart on her sleeve, and obviously the fall shook her internally.

4th again!!!!!!

 

[begin]

Literally the worst music for a bad skate :sad4:

 

[Princessroja]

Well, Mariah in 3rd!!!!

I have to say, if they boot Mariah to put Gracie on the worlds team after the seasons they both have had, I am going to be so angry I can't see straight.

 

[MIM]

I feel just sad listening to her music and watching her make mistakes and fight back so hard.... sigh...

 

[da96103]

Poor Mirai!

:bm:

 

[apgold]

Predictions out the window, as usual. Two Chens as national champs?

 

[Yatagarasu]

Well, the international level will sort this one out pronto. Someone in USFSA is facepalming

I'm sad for Mirai but Mariah deserved it. Well, that's it I guess.

I think it's a given Karen & Ashley will go to Worlds now.

Question is, who will they pick between Mariah and Mirai?

Gracie will not be considered for Worlds under the new criteria (only top 5 at Nationals considered). Edit: Actually they did leave a loophole in the rules to consider those outside the top 5 due to past results.

GOLD Karen
SILVER Ashley (Wagner's first senior National silver)
BRONZE Mariah
PEWTER Mirai

Way to go, Mariah! And yeah, she better be on the World team!

 

[jaylee]

NVM Fancystats shows it now. Heavily underrotated, but it's there.

Weirdly enough, they briefly flashed up her executed elements, and the preliminary scoring sheet also omitted listing the third jump that she did do.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Mirai's headshake after her scores was hearbreaking

But I'm happy for Mariah! Way to rally, girl!

 

[andromache]

USFS shouldn't mess with the top 3. Send these 3 to Worlds.

I think Mariah and Ashley both training for Worlds TOGETHER is a recipe for success.

 

[NAOTMAA]

Mariah's LP score was only around 7 points lower then Karen's. If she hadn't botched the SP and was in the final group she may possibly have pulled off the win.

Either way congrats on the bronze!!! :agree:

 

[ranjake]

because Nathan CHEN is destroying it on the men's side

I didn't know there was a last name quota That will be funny if both NC's have the same last name!

 

[tulosai]

Well, it wouldn't be a year if Mirai didn't break my heart at least once.

The result is right though
