Senior Ladies' Free Skate

[emma]

OMG, Mirai is way too cute and composed and mature and sweet......Congrats to her and all the other skaters. So, world's team will be ....???? Wagner and who else???

 

[lyton]

Who can give me the final result?
I wanna know that whether Kimmie could go to the worlds.
Thanks.

The world team should be Kimmie, Emily, and Ashley. Katrina deserves credit, but she didn't medal and Kimmie's a former World Champion.

Wow. What an amazing competition this was! So, it's 1. Nagasu, 2. Flatt, 3. Wagner, 4. Liang, 5. Zhang, 6. Hacker, 7. Meissner?

Actually, Caroline got 4th

I believe Zhang is 4th and Liang 5th

Darn that double axel! I wanted to see Mirai do a clean long (more than a win even). Still it's better than she did at her last few events and she's got the 3/3 now.

Congrats Mirai, Rachael, Ashley and Caroline! Wow the future is so bright and it's great that people will all have their own favorite to choose from as they are all different personalities! I happen to like them all, but Mirai has my heart.

I feel horrible for Kimmie though. She's such a sweetheart.

 

[lerei]

So everyone can go home happy.

Not necessarily

Wow, only one podium finisher goes to Worlds. This happened at German Nats to a lesser degree.

 

[April]

Who will the federation choose?

Wagner's going, who do you guys think should go?

 

[show 42]

This has to be the biggest ladies upset since Tara beat Michelle at Nationals in 1997!!! 42

 

[passion]

Can someone post all the scores please?

Me too...... Maybe she'll get her jumps back someday.

Who? And who will the US send?

 

[netnuts]

Looks to me national judges are harsher to Caroline Zhang than international judges. Maybe they are holding grudge towards media's hype against her.

Poor Caroline...

 

[gold12345]

My heart breaks for Kimmie. I hope she doesn't get too depressed over this. She can take a positive out of this, though... Now the media will officially write her off and focus their attention elsewhere. Kimmie can fly under the radar for a while. I just hope they name her to the World team. I don't want to have to worry about Hacker qualifying to the long program.

 

[MissIzzy]

I think they should go with the finishing order, unless Emily petitions, and even then, they should evaluate her carefully. Kimmie has proven this season she can no longer be relied upon, and Bebe and Katrina earned trips to Worlds tonight, which Kimmie did not.

 

[passion]

The US ladies make the Canadian ladies look TERRIBLE! I wonder where Joannie Rochette and Mira Leung would fit if they were competing in the US championships.

 

[emma]

ok, kimmie's in 7th....wagner, Liang and Hacker I believe are ahead of her and age eligible....

Well said. Petition is not that easy as we think. Even Kwan, a 5 time world champ, 9 time US champ, and two time Olympic medalist made quite a buzz. As much as I love Kimmie and my heart breaks for her, Liang and Hacker has earned their spots. I think if USFSA wants to send Kimmie, they'll send her to 4CC first, and see what happens.

 

[show 42]

Nothing against Kim, but she's going to have to do more than get her jumps back to compete against the style and grace of the top four who made the podium tonight! 42

If that's true, then Kimmie won't go to the worlds.
Poor Kimmie................
