2013 US Nationals Senior Ladies SP

[Mrs. P]

Mirai still in front. Christina had a beautiful program going, but she noticeably began to tighten up going into the 2-axel even though she landed it beautifully. Maybe she was thinking too much when she made the silly mistake on a spin. But she got it back landing her final triple. Plus she did a beautiful triple/ triple in the opening. Christina has way more artistry than Courtney Hicks, as well as solid jumps. How much did they take off for the problems on Christina's spin?

I'm guessing she lost a few levels---likely went to B or level 1

Here's hoping that Miss Ashley Wagner will step onto the ice and make all of our troubles go away.

*fingers crossed* -- though she shouldn't need it. She's been solid as a rock this season.

Are you sure? GPF anyone?

Cain looked confused with her score.

Ashley Cain scores a 50.83 and is in 9th.

I don't blame her. :scratch:

Can you PM me the link? Dying to see it!

The link's actually on Page 11 of this thread.

Cain looked confused with her score.

I think she saw she got some URs or something. Judging by the tweets from the arena it sounds like there's protocals in real time.

In light of her 4CC and Worlds results (last season, but whatever), as well as her huge GP victories, the mistake at the GPF seemed a fluke. And she still hung onto silver, which was truly impressive.

I'm confused with Ashley's score too. Must have been downgrades because I thought that was a good skate.

Of the 4 left to go, Wagner has the strongest (maybe only?) chance of topping Nagasu's score.

Christina in 3rd... tough to juggle Harvard and Skating, but not bad at all.

 

[Jammers]

If Agnes goes clean she could beat Mirai's score.

No not at all. Besides the flukey mistake (I can't help but wonder if she tripped on some nic on the ice or something) that was the best I've seen that SP. That 3T-3T was gorgeous and she had lots of attack and she had beautiful arms.

 

[wallylutz]

If Agnes goes clean she could beat Mirai's score.

Would it be fair though, that's the question, if she only does a 3/2 with no Lutz.

Well if Agnes hits EVERYTHING ...

but yeah, it's a huge score. Go Mirai

If she performs the heck out of it and sticks all the elements, why not? The program's a lot more than just a jump combination and another jumping pass. You of all people should know that since you started the popular PCS thread.

Well, Wagner has a lutz (I think), but it's also a 3-2. And even if she falls, I expect her to be placed ahead of Mirai. Maybe even 70+ (which would be a relief, given the state of the field).

Going to school has seemed to work for Christina. In this instance, it was a bit of tightness it seems due to nerves or thinking too much. Still, she did all her major elements -- it was just a silly mistake on a spin. She would definitely have been in front of Hicks and probably behind Mirai slightly, especially with the gorgeous 3/3 Christina landed.

 

[ForeverFish]

Adams scores a 37.54 and into 16th. Bell, Wagner, & Zawadzki left.

In the interests of combating endemic nationals inflation, I hope not...

Also, I believe Wagner does 3F-2T, 3Lo and 2A in her SP b/c she has a flutz.
