Ashley Shin
Bright blue dress with sparkly cross back straps.
She seems very musical.
3F-2T - a little delay pulling in on the flip which looked super cool!
3Lo
big 2A
She skated with nice expression throughout and I really liked Ashley. Great final spin.

I think I might watch Zhang once videos go up... and has Shin been on the JGP?

Why are Caroline's PCS so low?

 

[sabinfire]

Why are Caroline's PCS so low?

Because she was the first to skate.

 

[TCAngel18]

Probably her lack of speed, and her reputation.

 

[mirai4life]

Amber killed it

 

[Shani]

she is number 1 therefore the benchmark skater.

 

[mice]

Amber Glenn.
She is wearing a silver/navy ombre dress.
3F - 3T - huge and confident!
Sit spin..variations....
Back camel to I..change foot...sit...
Step sq with some nice performance to the crowd.

[invisiblespiral]

[mice]

A great skate from Amber. She looks happy in the k&c.

[Hyena]

Good job Amber! I really like this girl. If she can get some consistency internationally I think she could be great.

63.04, 35.14 in TES.

 

[s_parks]

63.04, nice.

 

[Icey]

So many skaters I don't know.

 

[sabinfire]

Interesting, the online leaderboard posts the program scores a few seconds before the IceNetwork feed shows them.

Angela Wang pops her opening triple lutz into a single...

Then does a 3L-2T combo and a solid 2A.
