If Ashley doesn't pull this out then the USFA seriously needs to go to Michelle and Sasha's agents and talk to them.

:thumbsup: Michelle is still in fighting shape. Sasha has a normal healthy body now. She doesn't really jump anymore. lol But maybe in time for Sochi. This is just sad. Let's hope Ashley skates the lights out.

I hope so too! Bingwa has some of the best spin positions...her style is so delicate and exquisite :yes:

No idea. She usually finishes 3rd or something at Nationals.

Viktoria proves that you can be elegant and effortless in your stroking and ice movement and still be fast as hell. Too bad about the jumps...

The men are in a completely different and much elevated league from the ladies in the world of skating right now.

GO ASHLEY!!!!

It's your time to make a clean skate!

Hugs.

What about Zijun Li? Isn't she old enough?

Yes, by next year she will be more than old enough. She actually had a much better season than Bingwa this year, too! It would be a battle, but I think Bingwa has a larger artistic capability right now.

 

[Jammers]

I agree. Too many of these Ladies are from the last Olympic cycle it's time for the new blood to arrive. Some of these girls were in the Torino Olympics even.

The ladies field is dismal right now. Hopefully some promising juniors break through next season.

Here we go!!

148.54 for Viktoria H. Currently 5th.

Go Ashley!

 

[Becki]

the ladies are bombing...ashley might actually have a chance!

They really are. I really liked the first groups, too. Even when they are only top 24, they often manage to land a decent amount of jumps and sometimes have interesting concepts or original movements. It's so much more fun.

Only 1 lady out of 17 has broken a 100 in the LP. Not very promising.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Even more, what does that say about how great Michelle Kwan was!!! Nine straight years on the podium! 5 World titles! U.S. figure skating is in the throws of death – to say the least. Kwan, Cohen and possibly Sarah Hughes, would have wiped the floor with this current crop of ladies. And I love Mirai, Caroline and Alissa. They show flashes of brilliance, but it's true.

It is so true many US skaters, male and female, show flashes of brilliance to get everybody's hope up. They get hyped up and then turn into heart breakers.

Wagner is doing very well so far!!
