Ashley's PCS

[Bennett]

I am wondering why Ashley did not receive much high PCSs despite her speed and nice presentations. She looked really fast. My understanding has been that Carolina seems to receive high PCS partly for her speed. So I thought that it would help Ashley's PCS, too. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

I think it's a reputation thing. Ashley has to pay her dues before she starts getting those solid scores on the program component side. Neither Ashley nor Carolina is the "dainty ballerina" type of skater that gets extra consideration for, "aw isn't that pretty."

If she continues to lay down strong performances I think the PCSs will follow.

I see. Is it like Yukari's PCS? She has suddenly come to receive higher PCS than Miki after the breakthrough season.
