Saw Caroline Zhang did a run through of her short and long program. beautiful long program. I think she is going to surprise a lot of people this year..... she upped her technical content too ...

What does "upped her technical content" exactly mean? Is she planning at least a 6-triples FS? (And, does she perform her beautiful layback again as she used to??)Saw Caroline Zhang did a run through of her short and long program. beautiful long program.

Well, I was always quite surprised that she actually planned a 5-triples FS with two 2As (one of her ugliest jumps) without 3T and 3S, which are the easiest triples... I know that the salchow isn't a good jump for her, but she could have a higher BV putting a solo 3T instead of one of the axels for example, so this alone would mean "upping her technical content"Her technical content, as far as what she plans to do, was never a problem. She isn't going to get many more points for harder jumps if her execution of the triples hasn't improved.
Per mirai being tagged in fb, she competed in a club competition in San Diego and won. Anyone know of it, her score, how she did, or videos? Sophia Adams was a medalist
ETA 2013 West Coast Championship. cant find protocols
Caroline's problem is her speed and skating skills. It was never more apparent then last year at Skate Canada when she skated right after Kaetlyn Osmond and Gracie. Those 2 girls were flying all over the ice and made Caroline look like she was skating in molasses.

BTW, is Wagner wearing a new costume??
another Zawadzki promotion
It took me a while to remember, but that's Ashley's exhibition costume from 2012-2013.

I am still hoping for Gao, but her last outing was sad. Angela Wang almost got herself in the mix after SP for me. Watching Finlandia...maybe Mirai!! But Vanessa Lam would not be able to handle the big stage, she has had her chance.
Mirai would probably have it if she could fix the URs. I am losing hope about that though :/ Does anyone know how hard this would be to fix/if it can be fixed? I used to think she could/would fix it but this is season 3 with no sign of improvement- in fact I think it's getting worse.

It's frustrating because we know she is able to rotate them, and it's not a conditioning issue because she will UR jumps at the beginning of the program sometimes but rotate them at the end. She now has a reputation of URing such that the callers don't give her the credit in marginal cases, when other skaters might get credit. Hopefully at Nationals she can tell herself to go for it and be willing to fall on the jumps as long as she attacks.
