Ladies Short Program

[slutskayafan21]

Seems like Ashley attempted 3flip-3loop, though she steped out. Seemed she completed the rotation though.

I thought she did a pretty good job.

 

[Wrlmy]

Great performance from Wagner! Kimmie better watch out!

Ashley Wagner
My favorite of the current US ladies!

Intense look to start
Went for 3Z-3R, flutz and two-footed at the end, maybe UR, but WOW, good for her!
Lovely 2A
Lovely, lovely layback into nice, stretched Biellmann
Spiral with great extension, she does this really dramatic lunge to the music in the middle
Flying sit with nice low positions
Ina Bauer - footwork - NICE 3F
Musical serpentine step, not losing speed
Fast combo spin to end
She looks thrilled!

LOVE this program, LOVE her skating! Definitley a better program than either one of hers from last year. Her sit spin's gotten a lot lot lower too. Really love that lunge in the middle of her spiral, most spiral sequences are SO boring and that added some excitement.

50.86 - 2nd
Looks like she got dinged for UR and flutz on the combo.

Here we go....................Skate America all over again

 

[Wrlmy]

Glebova and Wagner deserve higher pcs at least IMO.

 

[Tigger]

It might not have been your connections. We missed Nana and most of Alisa on CBC Country Canada. Got freaking ads instead of some unknown reason.

 

[Wrlmy]

Nana's in the 2nd group

 

[museksk8r]

Joannie just nailed a gorgeous 3flip+3toe in the warm-up!

Here we go....................Skate America all over again

Well, it was a shaky combo with the flutz and 3R. Her PCS is a bit low, but that's to be expected. She's pretty consistent so I"m hoping for her to surprise in the long.

Warm up being shown. Laura Lepisto taking it easy, Nana and Emily hit nice 3Ts.
Joannie hit a 3F-3T!! I hope she goes for it, the 3T had a slight fight on the landing but it was definitely complete rotation.
Yukari did her steps into 3F, wrap is as big as ever but I love her skating so much and the landing was very soft.
Mao did a light, light 3F-3R, maybe a slight 2-foot on the 3R.

Back to the red screen of death now.

I mean what does it take for these women to have a full rotation!!!!!!!!!!

Are the judges high

Well, Glebova's was probably ratified judging from her score, which is on par with her highest. Her 3T-3T was really percect.

 

[SailorGalaxia518]

Mao Asada also tends to flutz her triple lutz.....so watch out for that

Her second loop also might be vulnerable to downgrading.

Gotta love this judging system

 

[Wrlmy]

ladies are all skating so much better than at SA. I'm in love with Lepisto now.

 

[SailorGalaxia518]

Laura Lepisto looks to have a a great future as well

Yay, the picture's back!

Laura Lepisto
Very pretty light blue dress, taking her time to get on the ice
Music The Legend of 1900

Such lovely edges...
Nice opening moves, very gentle
GREAT 3T-3T!
3R - such soft knees
Nice low flying sit with lots of positions
2A
Nice fast combo spin, no real contortionist positions but lovely
Spiral to crescendo in music - nice edges, not the best positions
SLSS seems nice...but back to red screen of death
Didn't get all of it, but I was impressed...very fluid skating

Got picture back at K&C, she seems happy
59.18 - 1st and a BIG PB! She was definitely the class of the field so far.

 

[Tigger]

Didn't realize that about Nana, but I could have sworn we missed more than just the majority of Alisa's program...Someone would skate and before you knew, there were ads galore!!

I'll bet the person responsible for that will be getting an ear full later tonight.
