Ladies - Short Program

[Mirunna]

Ashley is not on today. Tentative so far: 3F step out, 3L-2L and a good 2A. Compared to her 2012 four continents program, today's performance is a bit flat.

The Americans won't get 3 spots. They'll be lucky to get a Top 10 finish.

The 2A looked only so-so to me to be honest. Overall a good effort though. The jumps were rough but she fought for everything.

Ashley was decent, but I wish she would have been better. I think she was nervous, looked nervous in the warm up.

Yes, on the replay it was a bit tight. I would have her behind Elene to be honest

I think Ashley did OK. Not her best program, but she didn't put herself out of contention either.

I just wonder, is the combo 3L-3T very difficult? I have never seen anyone performing it. Wouldnt it be good to train it as plan B, if 3F-3T does not work?? To me it looked like Ashley had lot of flow out of the 3L to add 3T.

Is this Ashley's first trip to worlds?

 

[blue_idealist]

Not too bad of a placement..

 

[Mrs. P]

56.41. Ashley is disappointed. And rightfully so. But I think she can catch up in the long.

Oh dear, the nerves and pressure got to Ashley! She has to forget about this SP skate, wipe the slate clean, and gear up for tomorrow like it is a totally new competition and fight for everything!

 

[evangeline]

Wow, judges/tech panel are definitely on the strict side today.

 

[Spun Silver]

Oof... well, she's been in this position often enough and can pull herself well up in the standings. To the podium? Doubt it.

No, she went back in 2008.

Honestly, I think Ashley Wagner is over-hyped, but I am shocked by her "relatively" low score....I think her combination jump and axel was rather well executed. I would place her in a close third next to Mao Asada..

*I just realized Ashley did a 3L-2T...for some reason I thought it was a 3-3. My bad..in that case, I would still place her closer to Elene.
