2016 US Nationals Senior Ladies SP

[peg]

Ashley actually scored slightly higher than Gracie in both TES and PCS....but the 1 point deduction for the fall put her .09 behind.

Oh, good point.

So...I know we still have the LP but...anybody think U.S. is can keep 3 spots in Ladies this year? Boy do I miss the Sasha and Kwan era.. U.S. ladies has went from "What medal are we fighting for" to "...can we keep 3 spots.." Lol...

I think they will keep three spots at Worlds if they send Ashley, Gracie and Polina, which is why that will be the team.

Right after Ashley got her scores, she said to Raf that she wasn't concerned by the point difference.

You cannot break a pair of boots in in two days! Not senior level boots! They are stiff as heck! Mirai's feet are going to be covered in sores!

I thought Edea says you can....

Great thanks to HeeYuHee and the GS member who found his channel.

Yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you

I know Ashley will be fired up. I don't know about Gold but she's close enough to leap frog. Both Gold and Ash have overall way better programs imo unless Polina changed something drastically.

Yes, if 'Gone With the Wind' program wins, we are doomed for sure

Those were Mirai's backup boots according to John Coughlin...

Why can't we have nice things...

If that's true, then I'm sorry, but that's really poor planning

Agreed! and that costume with the bow! ugh.

Yeah Polina! Great job! So happy for you with an 8 point lead. Always enjoyed your skating but that is the best I have seen you skate. Now go nail the long and be the new US Champion!!!!

 

[mrrice]

Ashley's SP is wonderful but she unfortunately did not deliver a good skate.:sad4:

Yes.....And that's her problem. Ashley's been on the scene for almost 10 years. 10 years!! This is on her. There's absolutely no excuse for it. She should say....Thank Gawd for LP program and leave it at that.

Gracie has such a resting b**** face in the press conference and I absolutely love it.

 

[desertskates]

Off to dream of better luck for the guys and pairs tomorrow. And pray for great longs for G&A.

Every year nothing but drama with Marai.

 

[blue_idealist]

Oh no, Ashley in 4th?! At least 2nd to 4th is a virtual tie though.

 

[eta]

Wait, so it was her backup boots that broke? Does that mean her not-backup boots already broke as well?

I tried and tried but I can't make it through the whole program without my thoughts wondering off. I just turn the channel. Sorry Polina.

 

[ozmodiar]

If that's true, then I'm sorry, but that's really poor planning

I think Tanith said Mirai had been using the boots for only one month.

If that's true, then I'm sorry, but that's really poor planning

If that's true, I am going to cry.
