Rchael is starting out a little slow and tentative. No 3-3 (3Z-2R, looks clean). She's moving rather slowly across the ice, and looking a little hesitant going into the jumps. Must be nerves again. Hope she calms down like in the SP.
That's a very slow COE spiral. Her jumps are clean but not the usual height or ease somehow. The commentators like her jumps though. Oh, God, Rachael actually pops out of the 3S into a bad 2S, then a singled axel. Squeaks out a 3Z-2T-2R though. This is not going to end up scoring very high... Those jumps and she'll also get hit on the PCS. The spins also aren't that fast, nor the footwork sequences. Ends on a good last note with the combo spin though. Good job getting through her first senior competition!

Wow! When I first heard that Flatt would skate to that I was like she is way too young and American (in my opinion you have to be at least from France or Russia to skate to la mer) - but she was great, I loved the choreography. She needs some speed, a new costume and better spins, but the interpretation was great and that can be a real winner program! Really something else.
Poor Kimmie... She looks tired or even injured to me. There is less lift on her jumps now than there was earlier in the week in practice. She skated so cautiously, too.
Did she catch a rut on that double axel? She landed it and then just fell.
I never used to have to worry about her mental state, but she seems more fragile now. Callaghan really tries hard to complement her before she skates to get that confidence up. I feel so bad for her.
I still think her legs are too muscular compared to the rest of her body.

Back problems, I think.
Mirai also a little tentative going into her jumps somehow, but all cleanly landed so far (3Z-2T, so no 3/3, 3F). Looks sharp overall, though. She looks fit and prepared. But stony expression through out, even through her spiral sequence -- she looks like she's really concentrating on the jumps.
2-fted the 3F/2T, possible UR. Possible UR on the next 3Z (and 2ft?). 3R-2R, again, UR on the 3R. Oh, my, this might not score well either...

Oh! Falls flat on her face on the 3S. And a fall in the footwork sequence.
Finally a smile toward the end of her sequence. She slows down and loses steam there. She looks to be in pain toward the end, slowing down, maybe the right ankle bugging her? But she still manages a good last spin (not with her typical speed or flare, but still good by general standards).

The way Mirai lands her jumps makes them look cheated - she keeps her free leg in too long on the landing so she has to unhook and bring behind after her landing leg is already on the ice making it look even more underrotated... it was really bugging me!
The US ladies are going to have a lot of trouble medaling at Worlds and the Olympics if they don't get the triple triples back in order. We really don't have anyone right now with consistent triple triples that always get credit. Heck, we don't have anyone who isn't getting nailed for downgrades on a regular basis. Growth spurts seem to be the story. It's still so early in the season though.
Goddesses cant be jinxed :agree:
It's not just her free leg, pay attention to her landing leg. She under-rotates very obviously.
