If Flatt can ever get her 3/3 ratified in the SP, she's definitely a threat for the podium! It's not that she can't do it, she's skated many kick-*** LP's where it was ratified.
On the other hand, Kimmie, Caroline, and Ashley have also been trying for 3/3's this season. So far, Caroline's is the most solid. But Kimmie had it in the past, and Ashley's 3F/3Lp looks like it only needs a little more rotation. Not to mention that Mirai supposedly has also been landing 3/3's in practice, and she doesn't toe-axel like Kimmie, nor flutz as much as Caroline. All of them also have good presentation for their tender ages.
If all these ladies bring their A-game to National's, including the 3/3, then boy, it's going to be a real dog fight up there for the podium! It's heating up to be really exciting.
So many talented young ladies up there with such a small podium. I really hope that whichever three ending up going to Worlds this year will bring back three spots for next year! Because even with three, at least two of these five very talented girls will have to stay home -- not to mention that Emily, Bebe, and Alissa are all still trying to stay in the mix!
(and yes at first I was biased because she was still skating for the Anchorage Figure Skating Club lol) I can't wait to see her kick booty in St. Paul.
at the comment she thinks lutz is her best jump. Flutzer or not, she is a great skater with personality. I love her sp program this year. It's so full of life and well laid-out. Unlike most ladies, she does not frontload her program, which I really respect. I'm not expecting her to be at the top of podium in the near future, but I think she will be at the level of Joannie Rochette pretty soon.
Real women wear beige boots! :agree:
I wish. Personally, she was my fave lady at last nationals.
