Grand Prix final:
1. Mao
2. Julia
3. Ashley
(I could easily see silver and bronze switching)
My dream would be:
1. Julia
2. Mirai
3. Samantha Cesario
I'll explain my lack of Mao and the 2 favorites of the US commentators Gold & Wagner. Mao reminds me of the men in the early 2000's she seems all jumps to me, Gold/Wagner both don't do anything for me, Ashley- doesn't draw me in and Gracie seems to mess up a lot and her expressions are annoying/distracting. I would rather see the concentrated face we see on Julia over the I'm-auditioning-for-a-Colgate-commercial smile that we get from Gracie all the time.
*This is a strange season for me, the 2 top contenders for my home nation (USA) I'm not really a fan of and would rather watch pretty much any other skater on the circuit.
Really? Oo I actually like Gold this year. I see her improvement! She is not so erratic and her arms look softer. She has "it" in my opinion
