2018 US Championships Sr. Ladies SP

[Sam-Skwantch]

Give her the PCS lead!!!

 

[NAOTMAA]

I"m completely not invested in any U.S. lady or ladies in general. But didn't many of you predict Bradie to win? And she's leading? I fail to see why people are shocked by her score...

there's always a backlash lurking around the corner

shes going in 3rd...they really dont want ashley on this team.

 

[Sophia_D]

I hope they put Karen within striking distance. She's such a lovely skater.

 

[BravesSkateFan]

I guess it's not meant to be... Ashley Wagner will never ever earn an automatic berth to an Olympic team.

Nobody will under the current rules. not even the national champ.

 

[Makkachin]

That performance seemed just about even with Ashley on technical merit...

 

[Skatefan15]

Wasn't too bad. Definitely deserves the highest PCS of the night! This is totally redemption after the season she has had so far

 

[Lissy]

I think that should go behind Angela.

 

[sunnystars]

question is...will they give her the PCS?

 

[evasorange]

Oh Karen...so elegant, such beautiful interpretation. If only the jumps could become more solid

 

[bixby]

Bradie Tennell is the ONLY lady in the US that can jump without putting any of them on review!

She's very well assured. Something that's rare to see and hard to do under pressure. Something to admire!

 

[ozmodiar]

Karen has the highest PCS.

 

[OS]

Flyraalllll....lovely... all jumps done....

Karen Chen

Wild 3T landing on the 3Lz+3T (3T looks < to me). Very fast pair of spins to follow, especially the flying camel spin. Soft and smooth footwork sequence into a high 3Lo with a three-turn entrance. Gorgeous forward inside spiral, and a clean 2A with a blurry layback spin to finish. Surprising number of reviews on the spins, with the judges likely looking at making sure she achieved the levels.

I'm not sure what she's going to get with PCS with how erratic it's been so far. I would place this performance right under Angela Wang's short program. It wasn't as perfect as it was before, but still well done.

 

[bixby]

See Karen's combo? It's in yellow, needs to be double checked.

Only two greens at the end of the program. The rest has question mark. Not with Bradie.

 

[Miss Ice]

Tara can't believe the height on Karen's 3Lz LOL.

 

[drivingmissdaisy]

Why all the yellow boxes?

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Nice score...thank god!!

 

[Lissy]

Wow. They really don't want Ashley to be on the podium do they?

 

[frida80]

That’s a really good score! Really high PCS.
