Getting back to Gracie how can someone be so different in just a few weeks time? In the LP at Nationals she was fierce and attacked and went for it but her she did jump content that would have been fine in 1988 but not 2016 and she was not aggressive at all unlike Nats.

At least Karen fought for everything. I respect that. Hopefully next season will go better for her.

Fannnn spiraaalllls ~~~ love the size of her jumps too, speed and flow. Oh Karen... Very different Les mis from Dabin. Sorry about the 2 falls

Nice fight... she could have taken it easy.

 

[invisiblespiral]

I am highly tempted to call that the polar opposite of Choi's Les Miserables program.

 

[matcha]

She lost it a little in the second half. Bummer.

 

[Sugarpova]

Cant wait til someone else becomes US #1 & get reputations bonuses like Gold
Hopefully Polina (wo)mans up & beats her at Worlds!

It seems too early for such a goal for Karen. But much much promise!

 

[Crossover]

This must be a jet leg since most of the skaters from North America are not doing good in this competition.

Anyway, I love Karen's spiral.

Another North American bites the dust.... not great. On the 2A/3t combo, I thought she had great height and then down she went....

Gracie isn't any different from how she's skated all season imo. Yeah, she had a good free at nationals, but after a raggedy sp.

Falling while 'On My Own' is playing must be the saddest image in figure skating.

Not only the guy you loved does not notice you, you fell on ice.

 

[Bumdid]

I want that Rilakuma :luv17:

- - - Updated - - -

I know she isn't the most consistent but I hope Na Hyun does well

 

[graciegoldfan17]

North Americans may feel jet lag :sad21: No worries to worlds

 

[matcha]

Rilakkuma!!

True. But it was even more of a nightmare seeing replays of Yulia falling to Romeo and Juliet and making mistakes to Leningrad. Either way, it's so scary to watch at those times.

I hope Karen comes back strongly next season.
