Ladies SP

[Wrlmy]

only did 3-1 and hand down on axel..

Ashley Wagner (Somewhere in Time)

Pretty opening choreography
3F+1T lost focus
3Lz slight 2-foot
LSp4, gorgeous arm variations on the classic position
SlSt nice, though slow and long
FSSp3 or 4
SpSq4, nicely timed to music
Right into 2A, major tilt, hand-down
CCoSp4
The coaching change has done wonders for her. Nice except for the small errors on the combo and axel.

 

[Tesla]

Aw, too bad. That's going to hurt.

 

[R.D.]

Not Wagner's best skate. Boy, this is odd...

[Tenorguy]

So Bebe's training with Frank Carroll now?

I hope she kills it--- she's been in the game a long time. Go BEBE

 

[Tesla]

Holy crap! How bad were those error?! She's 10th!

Ashley!!!!

Aww that makes me sad. I hope she can regroup in the LP.

 

[liketotally]

This is one of the most interesting and unexpected Ladies' SPs ever.

 

[emma]

what?????

I'm sorry for Wagner - I/'m not watching now, but I think she is fantastic and so improved this season. Here's hoping she comes back in the long program.

 

[Tesla]

One of her jumps must have been downgraded or something. Wow! Poor Ashley.

 

[madibe]

Ashley is only five points out of third and can easily beat girls like Diggs, Forte,Gilles, and Rizo in the long.

I must agree...and Liang just took herself out of it by missing that combo

Bebe Liang (Sorcerer's Apprentice)

FSSp4 very fast
3F slight over-rotation but hung on
SpSq4, edges a little weak
LSp2
1Lz (didn't get a great pick in -- typical Bebe pop), no combo
SlSt the best of the night
2A nice
stars to CCoSp4 very nice
Great music, great choreography for her. If she had done the 3Lz+2T she's probably be in second...

 

[Mathman]

The COP seems to work well for Hacker.

I think it is because she only does what she can do. Her combo was 3T+2T and her solo jump was a loop. No falls, downgrades, edge calls, hands down, double foot, wobbly landings...

 

[Tesla]

But won't Ashley skate in the early group? Will her score hold through to the later group?

COP really helps prevent this. If bias factors in at all, Ashley's record will hold her scores up. And unless there's some miracle from the remaining skaters, she'll skate in the second to last group.
