Senior Ladies FS

I think the ice conditions are a disgrace for an event of this magnitude. Even Edmunds, as light as she is and as fast as she rotates, couldn't eke out seven triples, and everyone looks slow as molasses.

 

[Dots]

Yup, Polina just punched her ticket to Sochi. Girls has guts!


Well Mirai is up next, if the judges are going to pull a nasty move on us it'll be here! Go Mirai!

 

[Chemistry66]

Wow.

 

[Chemistry66]

A smile from Mirai. She has a pretty smile. And I like this music for her.

Oh god if Ashley gets 4th and gets left off, it'll be awful. And if she gets 4th and someone else gets left home, it'll be just as awful. And if someone else gets 4th and gets left home. Ugh. I hate this. I can only imagine how the girls feel.

Mirai skates fantastic about once every four years.

This is the year!

Hey, the girl's got good timing!

Maybe she's got some strategic plan in place in that regard

 

[Franklin99]

Go mirai!!!!

 

[loop9497]

Mirai made it through. Not spectacular, but I'm glad for her after all that's happened tonight (and in her career).

 

[Kissx3]

OMG perfection from Mirai. What happens now????!?

 

[koriani]

Yes mirai yes

 

[wonderlen3000]

What did marai score? will it be enough for top 3?

 

[Chemistry66]

YAY Mirai!

My heart's starting to break for Ashley.

 

[loop9497]

The plot thickens...

I still hope Ashley makes it, though.

 

[wonderlen3000]

hopefully judges don't dinged her with UR call.....just to keep Ashley up

 

[mirai4life]

Mirai omg my babyyyyy


aaahhhhhhh love u

 

[Tesla]

There is more to selecting the team than just Nats results. After all that Ashley has done, I think she should be sent to the Olympics even if she is fourth.

 

[alexikeguchi]

And Mirai of all people is the one whose derriere didn't touch the ice...

 

[mirai4life]

I will kill myself if Mirai falls behind Ashley.

 

[travelbug]

Mirai be joining all the weepy women!

But unlike most of the rest, tears of joy!

Certainly not perfect, but her fire is back and her love of skating is coming through again too!

Great test of whether Thursday was a fluke or if she'd crumble under pressure. Unfortunately for Ashley, that was a "No!" from Mirai in terms of both of those questions.

So happy for Mirai - wherever it all ends up - to see her genuine smile back!

 

[a_reader]

Loved Mirai's reaction in the kiss and cry!

 

[Chemistry66]

A joyous Mirai is a beautiful sight.

And I know Nationals isn't the only factor, but who would you leave home with the way the top girls have been skating tonight if Ashley is 4th?

Annnnnnnnnd wow that was MASSIVE first jump from Gracie.
