is that a Joke ? I hate beauty PCS

Poor Akiko IMO she is one of the most underrated skaters of this cycle if not of all time. Hoping for her to still medal.

3F - hard fall, ouch
3Lo+2T

3Lo - fall again

Unfortunately a bit of a disappointing skate, two falls and one pop.
The two first jump combo were very nice, though.

Aww Akiko

Akiko Suzuki

3Lz+2T+2Lo (edge deduction on lutz). Good 2A+3T. Only single lutz (she's gotta stop popping the Lutz!). Better catchfoot spin this time around. Nasty fall on the 3F. Good recovery with the 3Lo+2Lo. Nice 3S. Fall on 3Lo (underrotated). I'm not sure she'll get the marks she needs, but I would give her higher than 109. We'll see.

Total 115.77, into 1st (will get a bronze at least)

 

[tulosai]

Come on Ashley!!!

Suzuki

She is guaranteed bronze, at least.

Tuk would have a chance to medal if it wasn't for Korpi's Beauty PCS !

I like the way Liza is progressing) I think she'll do better at nationals
And for Akiko((( She has wonderful programs this year.I hope she deserved to win it at least for once

3F - good comeback
ChSq
CCoSp

Ouch, far from her best. Two falls. Hard to tell if it's enough to keep her ahead Suzuki who also had two falls.

 

[tulosai]

Well, I guess Ashley could not be perfect forever. I actually could not believe she attempted the final jump. She is smiling now so I guess she is okay but that one fall was REALLY hard. I am super impressed with her recovery from it (minus the first few seconds). I was scared she was going to have to stop.

 

[Elisheba]

I'm not the staunchest Ashley fan, but major props to her for that 3F after such a painful looking fall.

 

[sky_fly20]

terrible splatfest from the Top3
Tuk should have medaled

Ashley Wagner

3F+2T+2T(rippon). 2A+2T, rather conservative there. Fall on the 3S (her nemesis). Very high 3Lo. Good 3Lz, but may get an edge deduction. A good 3Lo but a nasty fall on the 2A<<. But she got up and is finishing the program no matter what. Great recovery on the 3F. Love the charlotte spiral. (Jason Brown going bonkers.)

TES 54.93
PCS 62.56
-2.00
Total 115.49

Wagner

I thought the same. She looked like she was moving a bit awkwardly after the fall, and didn't have her usual expression. I was worried she was seriously hurt. That was a really awkward fall.
