2016 US Nationals Senior Ladies SP

Oh man. I'm nervous for Ash!

Polina's 3T looked UR to me but I need HD footage. 70+ still seems too high.



She shouldn't be getting her usual GOEs with that performance and there definitely should have been at least a ! for that flip. I don't think she deserves to be ahead if Mirai tbh.

Although looking back, I think Polina's score was overly high, and Mirai was low-balled (she should have broke 60), I'm not so sure that Polina URed, and Mirai probably was clean on her flip too, although she did travel a bit on her spin.
 
The horror for the USFSA is if it's Polina, Tyler and Mirai on the podium. What will they do then? :unsure:

That would be the best nationals ever. Just to keep everybody on their toes of course. Of course Mirai has to skate with her spare skates so I doubt that's going to happen.
 
What is going on with Rafael?? All that smiling and being warm and supportive instead of his usual death stare?

And then there's the facial hair. :scratch2:

Midlife crisis perhaps?
 
Mariah Bell had the 3rd highest TES despite the error on the combo. The PCS is what put her in 6th.

Well....They better say "These are Ladies who skated the best at Nationals and we're very excited and looking forward to a strong showing at Worlds"

Then say "No More Questions!!"...... Drop The Mic and Leave..........OKAYYYYYYYY :bed:

do you seriously think the usfa will go will with that?....Polina has earned it but I don't think they are going to with the other two.
 
Mirai has a chance to medal and will, I believe. Ashley and Gracie must at least have their confidence dented after their performances.

Having a poor SP usually fires Ashley up to skate lights out.

Lol.....It's what all their nightmares are made out of.

Now I kind of want to see this. Mainly cause I loved Tyler and Mirai :luv17:
 
I just hope Ashley and Gracie deserve it as opposed to just being pushed up as the predestined team they've built up for years. Even if it's just due to being less crappy than the rest of the field, I really don't want to feel like (for example) Tyler and Mirai got shortchanged in both segments to make it happen.
 
The nightmare here is if Mirai leapfrogged into third, with a top 4 of Polina, Gracie, Mirai, and Ashley. Deja vu all over again! Mot expecting that to happen, though. All that became clear to me tonight is that Polina will make that World team.

Come on. No matter what happens in the performances, it's gonna be massaged for Ashley and Gracie to make the team, unless they both have a wipe-out. And if that should happen, USFS will send Polina, Tyler and Mirai (new blood, with an old veteran, and an experienced confident competitor in Polina) doesn't mean they can't all do well internationally.
