This is the worst the U.S. Ladies have ever done at Worlds.

OMG Ashley fell I don't know if I've ever seen her fall before.

 

[TtonyV7]

Oh dear...Wagner is falling apart....

Wonder what Katrina Hacker is thinking at home...

 

[beep_beep]

Ashley not doing so well.
Guess her strength was in her pony tail...

Ashley Wagner
Jalousie/Mambo Jambo
Black/red dress

Hope she's not shaken by Miki's withdrawal...this is a great chance for her
3(f)Z - turnout
2A, good
Layback into Biellmann, nice positions & speed
3S - wild landing
Flying sit spin, nice and low
Is the ice bad or specifically suited to Europeans or something?
Spiral sequence, good speed and stretch
3R, clean I think?
Change-foot sit spin
3F - fall *sigh*
SLSS - still looks a bit juniorish IMO, hope she gets better choreo next year
3R-2R, hops off the 2R
3(f)Z-2R, clean finally
FInal combo spin to close

A rough skate for her.

 

[gold12345]

She landed one, maybe 2 jumps clean. Ouch.

Poor Wagner.....
Looks like it's going to be a fight to the death at nationals next year.

 

[dwiggin3]

She had some odd mistakes I'd say were nerves. Also, so falls that are unlike her....US ladies did not fair so well this year.

 

[R.D.]

So much for three spots. but it is not the end of the world.

I said in another thread that this might be the weakest US team in years. Now it seems that it might be the weakest performance overall by a US team in a long, long time.

 

[jan]

Wagner has very poor skating skills...more obvious now without the jumps being landed!!

 

[_Ladybug_]

I really had high hopes for Wagner. She had done so well this season.

 

[traz66]

Yikes! I can't remember the last time the US ladies had such a horrible Worlds! 1993, maybe?

 

[MissIzzy]

It's official. The American team is jinxed. I dread the men tomorrow.

 

[Tesla]

This is the worst the U.S. Ladies have ever done at Worlds.

I don't think so. Someone else can probably provide better details, but I'm pretty sure they did worse in the early 90s.

 

[kikakiks]

I am so distracted I couldn't even follow Wagner properly...I am heartbroken for Miki. I am not (at all) a fan of hers, but I whish she could have just skated....

Poor girl...

Ashley Wagner

3flutz (turn out)
2a
3s (underrotated) step out
3l (underrotated) two-footed
3f FALL
3l (underrotated)+2l
3flutz (two-footed)+2t

very surprising to see her have so many severe problems on the jumps.

 

[Spun Silver]

Ashley not doing so well.
Guess her strength was in her pony tail...

I don't think she realizes that head-tossing move only worked with the pony tail.

Dang, she looked so happy when she started but she had trouble with almost all the jumps.

Well, I guess she figures she's 16, it's her first Worlds and she didn't expect to be there. She doesn't feel the country on her shoulders the way Kimmie does.

 

[tae04]

Too bad. I hope Zhang and Nagasu is the team next year.

 

[Wrlmy]

It's not just US ladies. Almost everyone's been doing poorly with exception of Laura Lepisto and Sarah Meier.
