What US ladies have an outside edge on their lutz? I know Gracie, Karen, and Alysa do for sure, but for anyone who saw the videos today, were there others as well?
Bradie and Mariah both do at times, not always but neither have a huge flutz issue at all. Audrey and Pooja also have clear, consistent outside edges. Amber too. Honestly most US ladies at this point in time don't have a consistent flutz. Can not really think of anyone off the top of my headWhat US ladies have an outside edge on their lutz?

Given that Amber broke her orbital bone just 3 weeks before, its impressive shes jumping or spinning at all! She needs time to fully recover before we see what she is really capable of doing this year.
... I wonder how in advance these ISP videos are sent.
But who has a lip, and not a flip?Bradie and Mariah both do at times, not always but neither have a huge flutz issue at all. Audrey and Pooja also have clear, consistent outside edges. Amber too.

Ok, thank you. I know no one has like a major inside edge. But I think that Bradie and Mariah mostly have flat edges on lutz? It’s a relief that there’s no skater where we can immediately call an inside edge!Bradie and Mariah both do at times, not always but neither have a huge flutz issue at all.

I know that lips have been a problem for Gracie and Karen but I’m not sure about who else. Since Bradie and Mariah’s lutz is kinda flat, there flips are fine. I think Ambers flip is fine too.But who has a lip, and not a flip?
Both Bradie and Mariah tend to have flat edges on their Flips, like with their Lutzes. But not full outside edge Lips. I think Karen gets e on her Flips on occasion.But who has a lip, and not a flip?
Good for her. Clearly, the judges are going with Mariah on Components and she needs that tech score if she wants a 3rde titleAlysa attempted a 3A in her FP from the second ISP Challenge. She fell on it, but it doesn't look too bad. She's definitely going to have her 3A back.
I honestly would have expected more inflation than a couple points from this not being an international competition. So I don’t think they are “giving her” too much.Not just this time, I’m talking about the past 2 years. Her 3-3 became slightly more consistent this past year, but her rotation has always been kind of spotty. If this were an international competition, a fall on a 3-3 would be a lot lower than 69 (probably like 65 or lower no matter what her PCS are).
Everyone’s domestic scores are higher.... that always happens???Yeah, I get what you are saying and I agree we should promote what they are strong at, as long as it’s equal because some of Mariah’s scores (domestically) for the past few years have been higher than the should. It’s times like these that a protocol would be really helpful
I know it does, it happens everywhere. What I was saying is there was no way she was going to get above 145 anywhere (and her PCS were like 75?! Plus her GOEs were super inflated imo). But we can all have differing opinions about this stuff.Everyone’s domestic scores are higher.... that always happens???
This is why I question Mariah's score with a fall. If a domestic panel wants to promote Mariah, they should at least wait for a clean skate to score her above the 2 time and reigning US Champion.I know it does, it happens everywhere.

No. Mariah plans 7 triples in her FS, too. Bradie shouldn’t have been getting higher PCS than her before, so if that’s changing, then good, it should. Mariah is a good PCS skater and has the potential to get sky high PCS even with international judges, that’s her strength.Bradie's had 7 triples in her FS, Mariah had 6.
Bradie's average PCS is higher than Mariah's internationally https://skatingscores.com/1920/ladies/pcs/
And she mostly hit all of her jumps in the end, just a few mistakes.I really like Amber’s free skate! The music matches her very nicely and I think she should be the one getting higher PCS
Bradie is much better in person than on a monitor/TV. She is very very fast. (probably her height helps), so her PCS scores internationally are generally quite high and I don't think it is just pressure from the USF. Speed has a definite affect on PCS. I prefer Mariah, but after seeing Bradie in person I appreciate her apeal.No. Mariah plans 7 triples in her FS, too.
