Assuming she even makes the team... we'll see.
She'll make the team - based on her "body of work."

To my mind Ashley cemented her position as US#1 over Gracie today.
It was so frustrating because I don't think you should write anyone off, especially someone with her jump technique. The same people who were declaring Julia the future of the sport are now writing her off as yesterday's jam. It's ridiculous, so many things factor into how someone performed in a season, not just "The eeevil puberty monster."
It all boils down to rotating fully those jumps for Ashley. Also a little bit of lack with the judging and technical panel, which every skater needs. I doubt she can dramatically improve the spins at this stage. It's too late. But Rafael can certainly help with jumps.
Agreed!
So happy for Tuktamysheva for another clean competition!![]()
So happy for Radionova for bouncing back from the SP.
SOOOO happy for Wagner for nailing her 3-3 and sticking it to all the haters who said she wouldn't make the GPF let alone medal ever again.
The top 3 had very strong performances.![]()
I know right, just like how everyone writes of Mirai. Its so aggravating.
Just to add, though, the Spanish crowd is AMAZING!!!!!
Julia's 3-3 was solid, but I'm worried about her 3F and 3S.
I'd love to see more of Leonova this season. She has one of the few programs that are a stand-out for me this year.
If I get the Russian commentary right, they are saying that Ashley usually gets high PCS just because she is from the US.
The irony!![]()
:disapp: That was not a nice thing to say from them! We really do need to appreciate all these skates irrespective of their nationality!
