2015 NHK Ladies Short Program

[paperhearts]

Only 59? Oh well.

Good luck Ashley!

In current ladies field Mao, Ashley and Alena are probably the most experienced/mature ladies skaters. Is Gedevanishvili retired?
I miss Viktoria Helgesson.

 

[Snow63]

Assuming it was for the 3A, this means she got ratified the 3F-3Loop for the first time in years. Maybe this should light up her spirit

Yes, it was for her 3a, according to Grishin and Tarasova. Her combo is ratified.

 

[Shayuki]

She looked like she was almost crying.

 

[Li'Kitsu]

Love me some quirky Alena! Shame about the fall, but I adore her personality on the ice.

 

[mirai4life]

messs.. the top skaters...
bye Rika and Tuk

 

[randomfan]

hehe everyone's PCS is going to shrink now after Mao.

It kind of makes me worried about Ashley's PCS too...

Go Ashley! Your showing at SC was just incredible. I love this program so much.

 

[Sugarpova]

TAT already almost crowned Ashley

 

[ruffledgrouse]

so she will fall too?

Pfft. Anna. Alena. I haven't slept tonight :hopelessness:

(But lbr, my original comment was probably prescient)

 

[paperhearts]

Oop. Regardless, great skating. Will be interesting how Pogo and Satoko respond.

 

[andromache]

Is it just me or does Ashley actually have transitions in this SP?

 

[Mirunna]

Leaving aside the mistakes, Ashley really seems off today. Such a pity, after Mao the title was hers to lose. Now she is going to have to fight and rotate tomorrow.

 

[Snow63]

Anna have a real shot for GPF now. Let's see if she'll go clean.

Ashley WAGNER (USA)

Music: Hip Hip Chin Chin performed by Club des Belugas

Black sparkly halter dress, fringe skirt, sparkly back (new)

3F - turnout, planned 3-3
FSSp
CCoSp3p
2A
3Lo+2T - forward on loop, hangs on
StSq
LSp

Two mistakes, so she'll stay close to Mao going into the FS

SP: 30.25+33.46 = 63.71, 2/9

 

[Sugarpova]

Pfft. Anna. Alena. I haven't slept tonight :hopelessness:

(But lbr, my original comment was probably prescient)

we know how she's prone to falling so maybe u looked into the future

 

[Arawen]

Not the best from Ashley :disapp:

 

[Dr. Jenn]

I quite like this program, and Ashley sells the heck out of it! That lack of a 3-3 is going to hurt her, but at least she was able to get a combination done.

 

[tulosai]

Well that was fun and it was nice to hear the audience clapping along, but the jumps just were not as there as she needed them to be... door really, really open for Satoko and Anna here...

 

[NoNameFace]

so... doors open for tiny queen Satoko??

<yasss>

 

[Winnie_20]

She wasn't at her best, but Ashley Wagner has really grown on me, and continued to do so. This program is wonderful, she totally sells it.
