Noooo...
I love Emmy but wish that they replaced Starr with Hanna...

Do u know why Starr is not doing the competition?
You all need to watch this funny video that features Ashley, Gracie & Harry Potter by Koola King to cheer up little bit. Brilliant sense of humour displayed in this timely reaction as well ... as fine editing skills. It cracks me up!

I was told that Starr isn't doing junior worlds bc it's too much pressure with 4cc.
But she knew ... I think it was not a farfetched assumption. She definitely felt safe with her enormous advantage after SP and how they always give her overbloated evaluation in scores, she also was doing well before that error.
After all she beat Radionova at 2016 Europeans after also falling on 2A.

4CC is at the end of January, and Junior Worlds aren't until March. If that's the reason, it makes no sense to me.
Skate Canada tends to under mark our Canadian skaters heading to World and the Olympics to motivate them to improve even more.I am glad that Charlie White blasted the judges for the ridiculous inflation of Bradie Tennell’s PCS. I can’t remember a US ladies champion who has ever had less artistry and presence on the ice. Aside from her technique and consistency, she is totally forgettable. If Bradie can get 69+ in PCS, then I hope Skate Canada gives Osmond 80 in PCS this week and Kostner better get 90 in South Korea. [emoji23]
I know that this ''I am gonna laugh'' is a projection depending on how you view Medvedeva in general but one can bet that if it were Russian Nationals with Zagitova skating besides here that she would not laugh at all. It does not have to be fully conscious from Medvedeva to fall into the patern. So it's not that for off the mark if one see it this way. I for once was not sore over her laughing this off but I can see why some could see it differently.
Medvedeva is used to doing 3-3-3 in practice...so of course she is going to think falling on a double axel is silly given that she usually does the jump in her sleepYeah. 100% this.
Also, Mariah Bell wasn't laughing when she fell on her 2A with an otherwise perfect program. She knew that the fall will cost her any chance of the podium, and it arguably affected her PCS too. Sure, this is a national competition, but usually the skater has the same reaction in international comp too. Yuna wasn't laughing when she fell on her 3S in the Golden Spin competition, even though she would have won by a margin even with another mistake. It's just not normal behavior.

She laughed because that's the easiest jump of the program and a random fall not because she knows she is going to get high scores
You mean the stuff that people train rigorously for hours and hours on end on the ice to achieve. Her perfect technique and calm presentation should have easily won over all of those nervous looking performances that everyone else was putting out. Performances riddled with technical errors. The SP showed me exactly how unpreperated our ladies are to deliver a clean SP in an important event. Most looked terrified! What was it...two girls in the whole field were capable of showing up prepared to deliver a clean SP? To me it’s not even disputable who won and I don’t care how the judges do it. It needed to be done!
If they give Ashley 4CC as a consolation prize I will die.
