Thanks, Samson, for the impressions of Stars on Ice!
I agree with Desertskates: Ashley exudes power, Polina exudes happiness, but I'm not quite sure what Gracie is going for at this point. I like Ashley's style the most, but she'll need technical help going forward. Especially since the ISU seems to be taking the route of "punishing underrotations/downgrades/edges more" instead of punishing falls more. But I don't think Ashley is a has-been if she's determined to continue, since the other US women have not stepped up either at this point.
