2012 Skate America Ladies LP

[drivingmissdaisy]

Adelina and Ashley are probably my two favorite skaters right now. I'd be happy with either winning but I really hope both skate clean.

I totally agree that Ashley is going to win, but it would be so nice to finally see a clean program from Adelina

that could happen if nerves don't finally get into her
I don't expect much maybe by Cup of Russia ?

 

[coolboogie22]

that's highly unlikely to happen to Adelina atm, Ashley will win this by a huge margin

I don't think that Ashley is certainly the favorite for the gold medal, Adelina and Christina can challenge her.

I loved her look and enjoyed the program. she's a cutie!

 

[tulosai]

I think Valentina looks great. I am thrilled for her. She has so much energy and must be so happy to have skated clean(ish). 2 triple lutzes. If she did them on the right edge that's impressive. I couldn't tell on my stream- a bit blurry.

 

[christinaskater]

Beautiful skate from Valentina! Level up!

I see her soaring in the world rankings and who knows challenging for the podium!

 

[burntBREAD]

Valentina's lutzes are correct edge, but her flip is not.

 

[Jammers]

How full is the arena? Looks much better attended then the last few Skate Americas. Good to see the turnout is much better.

Why is Valentina not attempting a flip at least? I got used to no loop, but to have 2 type of triples completely missing, that is rare.

OK, it mkes sense then, thanks.

 

[tulosai]

I am also really pleased with and impressed by Meite. This is just great skating. It's She has such wonderful confidence and attack.

Excited for Gao!

 

[herios]

Meite really can make some waves if she keeps skating this well, at least at the Euros.

 

[Tonichelle]

I really enjoyed Meite's LP... it has a lot of potential once she cleans it up and maybe picks up a bit of speed (though that might just be how she comes off on tv)
