World Team Trophy 2013 Ladies

[Jammers]

I think of the top 3 skaters Mao is the most vulnerable. She needs the 3axel to have a chance yet she's struggling to land it and her other triple jumps are questionable at times.

Mao should move in to the Top 3 she wont get dinged much
ETA : 3 URs ???

 

[Trewyn]

Mao's 3L in the combo looked a bit UR.. Still, I love her Swan Lake.

Goooo Ashley!!!!

I sure wish I had your powers to see into the future. It's quite incredible the things you see with your magical powers....

Right? We can project, and can say she "may" pass Wagner, if she improves her presentation, but who knows? The ice, as they say, is slippery.

117.97 for Mao - takes the lead with a total score of 177.36

Li Zijun still leads in terms of the FS with 118.34!

Oh my god Ashley's little fix of her hair was hilarious

 

[zschultz1986]

OMG, she fixed her bun in the middle of her skate, lol. I LOVE IT

EDIT: I love that she played with her hair as it was coming loose! Seriously, she is so entertaining!

 

[blue_idealist]

Awesome skate from Ashley! I was worried her hairstyle was going to completely fall out!

Her hair bun came loose, but she skated clean! 6 triples, she looks ecstatic. Should take the lead

FS: 63.74 + 65.09 = 128.83 (PB)
Tot: 188.60, in 1st (out of 9)

Good for Ashley, such attack and confidence. She is another that commands your attention.

 

[MaiKatze]

Hair malfunction for Ashley.

Strong skate, 6 triples. She was zombie-faced throughout though, she should work on that...

FS: 65.28 + 61.77 = 127.05 (PB)
Tot: 188.03 (PB), in 2nd (out of 10)

 

[Trewyn]

Interesting. Gracie brought some big tricks! A couple shaky landings and a 2S instead of a triple, but it'll be interesting to see her score. I feel like it should be below Ashley (PCS!!), but maybe I'm biased

 

[Jammers]

Damn so close to a clean LP except for that last jump. Great skate though.

 

[zamboni step]

I didn't like how she's performed this all season and although the elements were SO much better today she performed it pretty badly today. Not even the fixed cheesy smile was there.

 

[figuristka]

Great skate for Gracie, should score well. She has great skating skills and jumps. Wish should could improve musically in the future. Sometimes i think any music could be playing.
