2013 Worlds Ladies SP

[waddup]

Coming to the new group, I feel like judges have grown generous. Quite much....
I want CONSISTENCY!!

my thoughts exactly.
not happy with this

 

[tulosai]

Ok I just came to the party but so sad Elene GEDEVANISHVILI is not gonna qualify I love her.

Otherwise things look about how I expected... Russians a bit lower than I thought, what happened to Liza?

 

[FlattFan]

Miss Thing is bringing it. BIG 3T3T.

 

[aftertherain]

Guess it's the spins. This panel seems to be quite picky with the levels. At least that's what the score of Voktoria seems to say.

Do you think it might be the layout of her program too? She did her harder jumps later than Yuna did.

 

[dwiggin3]

French gal reminds me of Bonaly back in the day...powerful.

 

[ffionhanathomas]

What was Ashleys score?

63.98, 33.06 TES + 30.92 PCS - 4th place atm

 

[jenaj]

Like I suspected, Ashley would be buried. Had the Russians not fall apart and akiko not totally messed everything up, she would be so down the pecking order.
Time to upgrade your TES.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Like I suspected, Ashley would score well in the short and be well-placed to be a podium threat in the long.

Solid clean skate. She seems happy about that

SP: 30.75 + 26.15 = 56.90 (PB)
In 9th (out of 32)

 

[hurrah]

Oh, gawd. Mao is up next. I cannot breathe.

 

[ffionhanathomas]

Mao!

 

[venlac]

Well, shoot. Never thought this would happen:

1 Q Yuna KIM KOR 69.97 36.79
2 Q Kanako MURAKAMI JPN 66.64 36.87

Murakami beat Yuna in TES!

yuna kim=36.79
murakami=36.87
osmond= 35

lol...

 

[koatcue]

Osmond deserves her score if not even a higher one. Ashley plays it safe. That shouldn't win her a medal here, imho

 

[FlattFan]

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Like I suspected, Ashley would score well in the short and be well-placed to be a podium threat in the long.

You called that scoring well? She was clean. And only 63+.
She's lucky and needs to count on others to make mistakes for her to stay ahead. That's not good.

 

[pitterpatter]

clean for Meite! ladies in the group are bringing it so far

 

[Li'Kitsu]

And Ashley is rightfully behing Kaetlyn. She skated fine but without a 3-3 or the same attack and speed Kaetlyn had. She looked really cautious...

Oh no, now it's Mao's turn... I'll collapse out of nervousness!

 

[ffionhanathomas]

what happened to Liza?

Fell on spin entry and singled double axel She was looking great up till the spin fall, very unfortunate for her.

 

[tulosai]

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Like I suspected, Ashley would score well in the short and be well-placed to be a podium threat in the long.

This. GIVEN WHAT CAME BEFORE, Ashley did the right thing. If the standings looked different now, I'd say what the heck, what a pity, but given everything she is in a good position. She will probably not be in the last group depending on what happens with Meite right now, which is too bad, but overall knowing what she knew, this was a good move.

ETA I take it back. I obviously predict final group for Ash unless Alena kills it...

 

[blue_idealist]

..What will Mao do? Ahhh.

 

[Li'Kitsu]

Do you think it might be the layout of her program too? She did her harder jumps later than Yuna did.

Yes, definitly. But Yuna has harder jumps, although with an edge call...)

Oh, gawd. Mao is up next. I cannot breathe.

lol same....
