Go Karen!

 

[ancientpeas]

Did she get a lot of UR?

Good luck Karen Chen. I haven't seen you in awhile.

 

[Lysambre]

GO Karen !

 

[Crossover]

The score is too low for Ashley....

 

[Mirunna]

Where's all the Canadian haters now? 72.20 with a mistake. Osmond is a contender!

I am one who thinks Osmond was over scored in Skate Canada but I nevertheless cheer for her! She is on her way to her first GPF

damn...the judges are keeping it real

Shin Amano get his second UR target

Shin needs his blood supply today.

Can Ashley afford to not be on this podium ?

She must finish no lower than 3rd. She MIGHT be able to squeeze in with a 4th like last year.

Androgynous like Lipsnitkaia's Kill Bill?

Androgynous like this: https://whatilikeissounds.wordpress.com/2012/11/10/sweet-dreams-are-made-of-this-eurythmics/

Ashley had at least three stumble at Stsq. Her choreo and presentation in the beginning grabbed me, much better than she did at the SA. But, I can't not see the two foot gliding and crossover between layback spin and 3l2t.

 

[da96103]

Karen Chen...those gloves though.

 

[mirai4life]

im so sad about karen.........

Where's all the Canadian haters now? 72.20 with a mistake. Osmond is a contender!

So I don't understand why during SC when people didn't like Chan's score they were automatically labeled as disliking all things Canadian, and now for Osmond as well? One skater =/= entire country.

 

[bartlebooth]

Aaand... first fall

 

[da96103]

Oh, Karen. Rink monster got its first victim.

 

[Nathan13]

She must finish no lower than 3rd. She MIGHT be able to squeeze in with a 4th like last year.

She would be fine in 4th.

For reference, here's the dance Karen was channeling with her opening pose and gorgeous dress. Unique choice to combine that famous Chinese dance with a figure skating warhorse.

Oh no, fall!

 

[ancientpeas]

Her dress is quite lovely and her spiral got big cheers.

Her beginning makes me feel like I'm lying on the dock at the cottage at night.

 

[frida80]

That spiral! :luv17:

 

[cathlen]

That is some nice dress! To bad about the fall...

 

[valerieally]

The ladies brought the glitz today. So many beautiful dresses.
