No kidding...I didn't say Sasha should aim to get to 200. I was trying to imply 200 seems to be the "6.0" mark these days (and that will change as skaters evolve in the future, with quads and 3a combos!).
I brought that up because Sasha's 2005-06 LP would most likely have her in the 170's range. Seems like total scores in the 170's are considered average skates. So far, Yu-Na, Miki, and Joannie have broken the 180 mark this season. Rachael may have had she not had her last spin eliminated at SA. Mao is quite capable of high scores, but has struggled this season. Same for Carolina for the last two seasons-reached 180's at Worlds 2008. I don't think any American Lady has been in the mid 180's since Kimmie and Sasha did in 2006. I'm not sure they would still be in the 180 range with the adjustments that have been made since then-"e" calls, stricter UR calls and one less spin in the LP had those programs higher scored-MAYBE Kimmie's, because her total was 189+.
