I wonder if they asked her permission to use that photo to sell their services.
^ actually, it would be the photo agency that took that shot (Getty Images or whomever).

It will not be a good quad for the US is Ashley is the best the US has to offer the next 4 years. It will be Rachael Flatt all over again meaning a decent skater who's fairly consistent with little chance for a World medal and who's getting older.
I mostly agree with his results wise although she's ten times the performer Flatt ever was. I also think she's good for US figure Skating. She gives a good interview, made an impression on the public with her meme in the K&C and is more relatable than Gracie or the super young Polina
This showed up as one of those ads on Facebook....

So I guess she's getting famous.
I hope Ashley can regain her national title and get some good international results going forward. With Yuna gone and Mao possibly gone, I've actually latched onto Ashley a bit. I love how she attacks her programs and has this edge to her, rather than being some pretty ice princess. She has her own style and she knows how to sell a routine. I really hope she's the leading US lady for the next quad (sorry, I find Gracie too pageanty. Polina has potential and I like what I saw at Worlds, but she's yet to get the fire that Ashley has).
I'm not enough of a tech expert to figure out what Ashley has to do to get there, but I wish her all the best.
Well, we'll wait and see. Carolina won an Olympic medal at 27, so I won't write Ashley off just yet. Then again, I'm not invested in Team USA as a whole. I simply like Ashley the best of the current crop of girls and want her to do well.
Wagner is a bit of a Suzuki for me. She can be brilliant and the best in her country when she's on, but has some technical issues and prone to a 3-3< that holds her back from being at the top, as well as not really credited by the judges PCS-wise.
I'm usually not a big fan of seeing skaters recycle programs, but I think it would serve her well to keep the Pink Floyd short for next year. She seems to love it, and it would give her more time to focus on her elements rather than laying out 2 brand new programs. Maybe bring out a new costume for it, like a sparkly unitard.
Obviously, for the long, she just need to start fresh.
