Ladies - Long Program

[Mrs. P]

110?? With a FALL??? Wow. I wasn't expecting that. I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe that's a bit...high?

Nah. I think besides the fall she had pretty solid jumps. But I'm eager to look at the protocals.

 

[R.D.]

Boom! Again, down she goes.

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Agnes isn't doing very well.

Well after Miki's score I'm not surprised.

Well, it was a good performance apart from that ONE jump, so I think it was okay. And yes, Miki's higher score did help.

Agnes fell again...

 

[R.D.]

Ouch. Near-disastrous skate for Zawadzki there.

 

[HCOSurfer]

What happened to the Agnes we saw last year who was skating clean program after clean program?

 

[burntBREAD]

Zawadzki can do it, she just needs more experience (this is still only her 3rd international event), but she needs to skate faster...coach change perhaps? Tom Z skaters don't seem to skate very fast

110 with a fall is LOW for someone who is trying to be a top contender. Alissa got 116 with a fall at Skate Canada, remember.

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Go Akiko!

 

[R.D.]

I think there's more leeway at this event. Even after bombing she was close to 100 points.

Alissa is also a better all-around skater than Ashley, IMO.

The judges know Ashley. Of the American women that are left she is the one that has made a gp final so I think her score was fine.

However I agree that Alissa should get a higher score than Ashley with a fall.

Hmm, that's true too.

Agreed, when she was done I thought she'd get around 110. I think its a fine score for what she delivered and compared to Miki posibly a little low but hard to tell without seeing the protocols.

 

[burntBREAD]

Popped her Lutz, but added the 3-jump combo to her Flip. All other jumps good.

 

[Chris_E]

Alissa is also a better all-around skater than Ashley, IMO.

Specifically with her spins. Alissa will get higher GOE on all her spins than Ashley.

 

[burntBREAD]

Shame about the lutz, it was a good performance!

 

[Trewyn]

So... Who won this? Akiko or Miki? I couldn't tell from the feed..

Just watched Ashley on the better feed; I really hate Malaguena for her. It makes her look crazy slow. But yay for the solid 2A-3T!

 

[Sackie]

Looks like both American ladies got bonus points here. 3 falls for Agnes and higher PCS then Valentina who went clean! Almost the same PCS that she got for her cleaner skate at SC. Funny when the same thing happened to Chan everone was all over it going on about how falls should bring down the PCS marks.

akiko skate was good-agree about the lutz , but good skate anyay
