2018 US Championships Sr. Ladies FS

[HollyRose]

I'm so heartbroken for Ashley :sad21:

It feels like the judges/USFSA really just didn't want Ashley to go to Korea. :disapp:

 

[Lissy]

That was some shady Karen judging. Just saying.

 

[skatenewbie]

She'll get 140 at best in international competition, sad that USFS wont give Mirai her 2nd title

 

[EdgeCall]

219.51. Oh come on people, you could have given her those last 0.5 points, couldn't you?

In the end, great event.

 

[DexterK]

Ashley really needed that triple salchow... man, that would have placed her well above Karen...

TOTAL CRAP SHAME ON YOUR JUDGES!

Well done Bradie, Congrats on your great performances, but scoring are clearly not equally applied...

 

[macy]

ashleys bronze vs karen's 2 botched GPs...hmmmm

 

[shiroKJ]

Oh wow! Do we finally have a U.S. lady who can hold up to the pressure after all these years? Very proud of Bradie. She's done an amazing job of handling the talk and pressure. I sincerely hope she will continue to do well. I'll see what the next year holds before fully feeling confident in her to regularly deliver great performances, but this year has been a dream one for her and I'm glad to have her doing so well for the U.S. ladies.

Famous last words :roll9:

 

[Amei]

Didn't ash win silver at worlds...how is she terrible?

But since that Worlds 2 years ago - she's shown a decline in her skating vs. progress.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Both programs PCS were under what she would achieve internationally. Start Politicking, Ashley and Raf!

Do you think she'll take that 4CC assignment this season?

 

[liberrhythm]

Omg tech panel went to town on Karen

Just what she needs though. I think she could have scraped by with the lutz and the flip but they might be sending her a message to fix it quick

 

[cheerknithanson]

YES BRADIE!!!! Well deserved!!!!

 

[da96103]

So Bradie and Mirai will represent US.

Third spot will go to?

 

[crazydreamer]

What a great night. Bradie and Mirai were both fantastic. Karen and Mirai also delivered solid skates. I feel bad for Ashley, but as much as I love her, she hasn’t shown the past two seasons that she deserves to go to the Olympics this time. She has done so much for US figure skating over the last quad and she is the only US world medalist in the past decade - no one can ever take that away from here. I hope she doesn’t take tonight too hard. I thought La La Land was beautiful and am thankful we got to see it.

 

[badknees]

Why are they all of a sudden against Ashley? And 69 PCS for Bradie?????? No waY, what a gift.
Need to fix the scoring system. Good tech does NOT MEAN good PCS. AARRGGHH!!!!!

 

[randomfan]

I honestly didn't expect Ashley to be so close though...maybe if the judges weren't so stingy with her PCS then she should've beat Karen.

But with the results we have now, I think sending Karen would be a fairer choice (and would create less uproar too).

 

[#1Kerryfan]

Ashley was underscored and I'm crying.

 

[sunnystars]

that Ashley-Mirai moment totally reminded me of Elena and Yulia's moment in 2016 Nationals

the sass is eminating

 

[TunaKeem]

This seems ridiculous?? TES on an Evgenia/Alina level?? PCS higher than Ashley??

Does anyone know what Bradie’s score will roughyl translate to in an international competition?

 

[evasorange]

This girl is vanilla boring. Hope holding down the other girls pcs to prop hers up is worth it in the end us fed
