In another thread about state of American ladies I wrote a post that Ashley isn't gonna be champion we miss. But Ashley is proving me wrong. To be exact, I don't see her winning the World title this year. But I wrote this year. I didn't expect her to go for two 3-3 and win the Nationals again. I didn't expect myself finding admiration for her. And I finally started to like to program, but at first I hated it. However, Ashley is proving us wrong, I belive she can fight for the Worlds medal this year. And because she never stops to suprise us, maybe she will the World title one day! She is a fighter. Everything can happen.
While I was never that great a fan of Ashley, I'm thrilled that she won the National title while dealing with so many negativity and skepticism from people who think she's already on the way out. With skaters like Ashley and Nam Nguyen, anything can happen.
