Ladies SP 5:05AM EST

She generally is a long program skater, although usually from behind. The scores are so close that it really doesnt matter that much. Great job Ashley!
First off, Nice job by Wagner (that was a pleasant surprise, even though it's a virtual tie)
but it looks from the scores that everyone was rather bleh. I thought Ando would have a sizable lead, though (based on how she was scored in Russia)
I think she'll end up winning anyway. But Wagner now has a VERY GOOD opportunity to make the GPF. All she needs is to medal and she's in the hunt. That said, if she does make it I think she'll struggle to be competitive with the field- her scores haven't been particularly impressive (mid-50s for the SP and < 110 for a clean LP performance??)

Miki can be very critical of herself.
Except for the fall, I really enjoyed this SP, and I liked her expression during the performance.

Poor Miki... I wonder what is causing her to be unable to perform as she wanted to. She's probably upset that she couldn't perform like during practice. I always remember her tears when she had to withdraw from the 2008 Worlds... that really made me empathize with her. She is vulnerable and emotional under her normally stoic face. That's when she won me over. I hope she will do better in the free to make her feel better. It's also sad that she wanted to do well for her deceased father as the SP is dedicated to him. I wish her the best but I still want Ashley to do well. Does that make sense? :scratch:
Miki looked so beautiful, alive, energetic, confident and all the rest of it in the practice clip (and she often does in practices -like LA Worlds where fortunately she did just as fab in the comp). She was fast and the jumps fantastic. Last night, even from the moment she appeared in the 6-minute warmup she just looked different. To UR her lutz is so uncharacteristic of her (and lucky it was called UR) and her posture and speed didn't look as good as it did in the practice.
Like I could tell all this from a 1-minute long practice clip
But this is what I observed.
I'm disappointed as I think she can do much much better- And she seems to think likewise.

Should I delete it? Let's delete them.
Replace it with this, the true Olympic Gold Medalist for the ladies' competition:

Tweet from Ashley Wagner:chorus::
Short wasn't too bad, it wasn't my best though..I cheated a double axel! lol That is SO hard to do, so in a way I'm proud of myself
LMAO.
Ashley is great.
Also, I'll have to re-watch that Axel. I didn't notice a problem.

From the PBP I suppose Sarah Meier did not too bad, but looking at her score I'm like WTH happened.. that's the second lowest TES for ladies so I wonder what happened. I guess I'll need to watch her SP (and wait for protocols). Hope she can bring her best in LP!
Anyway, Ashley in first is a pleasant surprise.
