2018 US Championships Sr. Ladies FS

[Anni234]

I will go back to sleep and see happy dreams about Mirai making the team.

 

[BravesSkateFan]

I think because its so long after the competition (in TV time anyway)

 

[Baron Vladimir]

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?

Yeah, well, i dont want to comment on that. Cause Bradie did very well and deserved to win, no doubt. Just realistically, try to not have the highest hopes with this team :cool14:

 

[TontoK]

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).

They cannot possibly elevate Ashley to the Team for the second time. I just can’t imagine.

I am thrilled with the result and so proud of the Top Three. Good luck Bradley, Mirai, and Karen.

3rd spot of the American ladies should go to Wakaba. :runs&hides:

Okay, that's enough of egg nog for today.

Less. Quite possibly much less.

i dont understand what huge edge karen has over ashley...she's had 2 terrible GP events and couldn't put it together until now. not that ashley had a stellar season but at least she medalled. not to mention like 2 points separated them tonight.

 

[kevinVchicago]

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

True, she needs to fix it. I kept yelling, "Rotate, Karen, rotate!" [emoji23]

But the panel seems a bit... inconsistent in who they decide to hammer.

:ddevil: NO!

 

[rlopen]

They might do what they did in the Japanese...whichever one of Karen-Ashley don't go to Olympics go to Worlds...I feel like that would be very fair IMO considering they were that close.

 

[lavender]

While Bradie is totally boring and forgettable, it is great to see a consistent american skater for a change.

Karen and Mirai :hap93:

LOL yep,..

 

[NAOTMAA]

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

Bradie would be much closer to 140 internationally much more than Mirai would

Mirai's program was completely empty and focused on getting the jumps done and nothing else. Bradie's program, while not the most sophisticated, was pack with transitions. It's silly to think Mirai would beat Bradie tonight if this were international competition.

And now Bradie goes into Korea, and likely next season, as the undoubted US #1. Her marks will only get higher

 

[silverfoxes]

Ashley did so much publicity for this event and that takes up training time.

That's an incredibly lame excuse. I see Nathan's face everywhere much more than hers & I can't imagine him whining about missing training time.

 

[casken]

The Wagner situation reminds me of the two years Abbott was pushed off the world team, in the sense the PCS scoring wouldn't be replicated in any international comp.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Give the 3rd spot to Radionova!

 

[Amei]

Ash just won worlds silver...think these skaters will be on a worlds podium?

She won silver 2 years ago and no one can honestly say that Ashley in 2017-2018 season is as good as she was at 2016 Worlds.

 

[frida80]

Imagine if Mirai had laid down her perfect 8 triple free from practice tonight though... alas

There was a lot of pressure on her tonight. I’m super proud of what she did this week! She’s made my year, and it’s only the January 5th!

 

[schizoanalyst]

Actually she is the one I think who could replicate her score if she skated the exact same internationally. Of those two that is

She'll get 145 only in an event where Medvedeva is inflated to 163 lol.

 

[kasha6]

Ash just won worlds silver...think these skaters will be on a worlds podium?

LOL, they will be lucky if they are in the top 10; Braedie has the TE, but will have low pcs; Mirai should do the best of the 3; of course everything depends on what the Russian ladies decide to do

 

[ask]

Bye, ashley.
