8th is an ouch...I could see that a little higher...but I hope she feels good with what she did and does the same in her LP.

I'm still so, so over the moon about Agnes and Ashley and Caroline....and Alissa (I was heartsick a couple weeks ago worried about her...but not now!).

 

[Nadine]

Nice sr. debut from Sophia.

 

[Not Anybodys Mother]

That's a low TES for Flatt, maybe one of her triples was ur'ed?

Also, just wanted to see it's possible for both Gao and Keiser to finish ahead of Mirai, knocking her to 7th.

 

[Trewyn]

I wonder why Ashley still represents the SC of Wilmington? As far as I know she trains and lives in Cali and her parents now live in Philadelphia or something?

 

[tulosai]

If she had done the 2A, wonder how it would have scored vs. Mirai. Looks like Christina Gao is the last skater who could possibly finish aheadof Mirai.

I think she'd still have been behind Mirai but by more like 2-3 points instead of 7. I think her PCS would have been the same and they were lower.

As for the rest, yes, it looks like Mirai will make the final flight. I think she could medal but she would probably have to skate lights out. I don't think anyone behind Mirai is in medal contention.

What a great story for Zhang. So many wrote her off, now look how much she has improved at an age where many said she couldn't. So proud of her.

SAME. I really hope she carries the momentum into the long.

The key was that she truly loved the sport and realized she didn't want to leave it.

Which jumps did Zawadzki?

I hope she does skate lights out. I would love to see her have one more shot at worlds before she retires. If she instead bombs the free, I hope she'll perform the shiz out of the program and not give up like in Canada.

 

[Nadine]

BRAVO, SUPERB performance from Kiri Baga, like seeing Hannah Miller with big jumps!

Love the Stag Leap, Split Falling Leaf, and that OUTSTANDING brand new type of spin she created, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Spun Silver]

Looks like Christina Gao is the last skater who could possibly finish aheadof Mirai.

You forgot Kiri Baga. What a little firecracker. She was great in this perpetuum mobile program. Love her expressive head.

 

[emma]

Which jumps did Zawadzki?

Agnes did a huge triple toe triple toe with amazing flow out of the second jump; a huge really Tonya Harding huge and smooth 3 lutz and a double axel.

 

[Spun Silver]

Agnes did 3T-3T and 3Lutz as well as 2A.

she reminds of Sasha cohen in her attack of the SP and fire; and some of her positions too.

 

[lilshorty]

Too bad for Rachael. I hope she doesn't give up on her love for skating though. So happy for the other girls for doing really well.

 

[Nadine]

Here comes another monster jumper in the vein of Agnes Z.!

 

[Shaba22]

Agnes did a huge triple toe triple toe with amazing flow out of the second jump; a huge really Tonya Harding huge and smooth 3 lutz and a double axel.

Thanks!

 

[Mrs. P]

Hm... Christina went back to her old program.

 

[Shaba22]

Agnes did 3T-3T and 3Lutz as well as 2A.

Thank you!
