Ohmygosh Kimmie!

Ashley, Bebe and Katrina at Worlds...?!

We can kiss our 3 spots good bye.

 

[MissIzzy]

...she's below Hacker. Unless Ashley Wagner melts down, she might not get to go to Worlds. Oh Kimmie...
On the other hand, Bebe's definitely going now, even if Emily successfully petitions.

 

[feraina]

Just want to drop a quick note to say I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy for Caroline! I had tears in my eyes, and I was clapping with the audience for as long as they did, maybe longer -- my bf thought I was going crazy.

Yay!!!!

 

[_Ladybug_]

Oh no, poor soul.

 

[fumie_fumie]

Three falls?

 

[SailorGalaxia518]

Kimmie will not go to Worlds with Ashley Wagner still to go

 

[shanm]

I'm sorry but if we have Wagner ,Hacker and Liang as our world team we might as well say bye bye to three spots next year for worlds.

 

[megsy]

We can kiss our 3 spots good bye.

I have faith in Ashley maintaining two...and if Bebe pulls off the performance of a lifetime?

Bebe today was decent, and the best she's done all season. If she pulls off another triple, or even doubles instead of popping to singles, then she'll get a decent score. Granted she has a habit of faltering internationally, but I do think her skating is decent and she's not that much worse than Emily!
(and we all had hope in Emily/Kimmie possibly maintaining three spots?)

 

[R.D.]

let's not determine the results before it's over. Anyone can slip up.

 

[BelleFilleYuna]

Is Kimmie under the process of fixing wrong-edge jump(lip)??
It's strange she keeps falling on her lutz and flip, it's like deja-vu of Miki at NHK trophy.

 

[Hikaru]

So sorry for Kimmie, I think perhaps it was too much pressure, who knows. Hopefully she will work on that. I'm not a great fan of hers, but I appreciate the work she puts on.

About the world team, I remember back in 2006 when Michelle was petitioning to be on it, that it was said that the federation was the one to decide who made the team, and that the only person with a guaranteed spot was the gold medalist. So, unless Ashley Wagner wins and clinches the first place, they would name the team as they see fit. Kimmie could still be named to the team, I think.

 

[mystichaze]

If those three are the world team we will be lucky to have even just two spots in LA next year.

 

[R.D.]

Solid performance from Rachel.

 

[SailorGalaxia518]

Now I believe that Emily Hughes should petition to the World Team

 

[R.D.]

The heat is on for Wagner and especially Nagasu...

 

[fsf9012]

If Kimmie goes to worlds and skates like that, she's no better than Katrina Hacker. So sad for her.

 

[fratboy96]

Wow. What a GREAT performance from Rachael. She's definitely in first place after that, and will be on the podium.

 

[SailorGalaxia518]

Rachael Flatt is AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZING!!!!!!!!! She is like a Porclein Doll on Skates. I just love her

I have little faith in anyone besides Ashley. Bebe is scary most competitions. Hacker's jump content is really bad. This will be a lot of pressure on Ashley, at her first Worlds. wow. Crazy how this all turned out.
