Interesting. Gracie brought some big tricks! A couple shaky landings and a 2S instead of a triple, but it'll be interesting to see her score. I feel like it should be below Ashley (PCS!!), but maybe I'm biased

No, it should be below Ashley on PCS. Though Gracie keeps getting better and better! So excited for these two ladies (and the third one) that will be joining them in Sochi!

Gracie - 127.05. (Total - 188.03). Into 2nd. The doubling out on the Salchow towards the end cost Gracie the lead

I love Gracie and I'm proud she skated so well, but 61+ for PCS?

Well, PCS isn't just like the old artistic mark (though it is a component)

Gravie has decent skating skills and transitions, the P/E, IN need to be worked on though

You know, Akiko is 28 now and yet she can perform such high triples with speed, i really admire that.

Great performance by Akiko. Should lead overall given her large lead over Ashley from the SP.

At the beginning of the season skating after someone like Ashley lit up the scoreboard would have spooked Gracie but she's mentally tougher now after all that experience this year. Good for her.

Akiko's program is just... it's the best program of any of the ladies this year. That smile during her program was awesome. She saved a couple of those last jumps, but the performance was world class.
