It's probably due to Gracie other elements having a higher BV than Ashley. Ashley's spins are weak. Her jumps doesn't have the same speed/flow out as Gracie's, etc.

There were more ratified triple triples in the first group of Russian ladies' Nationals than in this entire event.

This was kind of a mess of a competition.

I was thinking the same thing...apparently her mother trained under Mishin? She must know a few things about how to stay mentally strong. Hope Polina wins this...it would be a refreshing change.

To recap: Ashley and Gracie both mess up one major element-Ashley on you'd most expect and Gracie on what you'd never expect-Polina is brilliant and totally shuts down da haterz, Tyler is brilliant and proves I have good taste in surprise medalist picks 
, Mirai and Mariah were good, Courtney and Karen fall over and die 
, and if I didn't already have IN this would've been a waste of money.
But on a positive note, IN didn't quit on me at all!

I'm not too optimistic about Boston guys.......:noshake:
I'm always hoping that a not-so-great Nationals will fire up whomever makes the team to do AMAZING at Worlds buuuut I'll just wait and see with no expectations.
Well...didn't expect that outcome. At least Polina had a really nice program. I wish she would build of the fire she has is her short, and bring that to her long. Also, I'm glad Mirai has a chance, and is in the final group.
EDIT: I'm wondering if USFSA will send different teams to worlds and 4CC, like if Mirai ends up fourth and Gracie, Polina, and Ashley end up on the podium, could they send two of the skaters on the podium and Mirai to four continents, and the podium finishers to worlds?

I didn't note down which exactly, but, yes, Ashley did miss some levels, whereas Gracie got all level 4s.

She needs to have a weave with some light and dark to make it look more natural. Just my opinion.

I was hoping not, but I knew there was a chance. I'm really lucky I picked the better spin-and-footwork-level-getter to like or I'd be sobbing right now...horrible event aside from Polina and Tyler.

I can't say too much about GWTW. I didn't like it from the very beginning. Others disagreed. Best thing: the costume.
I didn't see the first half of the comp until the Korean stream got posted but... did Polina do the only 3-3 in this competition? Ummmm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkHst8GYbYI

so how do we feel about Gracie's flip edge? How do we feel about it compared to Mirai's call?

Tyler and Angela also landed clean ones.
