Those two!

Ashley's reaction at the end of her program was priceless. Also, how adorable was the hair-fixing improv?!

And make that Gracie's third mostly-clean FS this season. She's really getting a handle on the nerves, and had nice flow out of the solo 2A and 3Lz. The only real issue was with the 3F, which (apart from the edge call), she almost lost due to the extreme forward tilt of her takeoff.

Max or Jeremy (camera was turned away): Good job!
Gracie: Damn right.

:laugh:

Did anyone else notice that Ashley's bun came undone in the middle of her program? She must've been skating with vigor! :)

Finally, the last video list of the last major competition of the season - now complete! Looking forward to September and the start of a new season, when we will start all over again. The good news is that the YouTube coverage this season has been better than ever, with more fans than ever uploading the videos. Hence, whilst TV may have temporarily deserted the sport, at least the fans with the assistance of YouTube, have been able to step in and plug the gap. There is still hope in terms of saving the sport yet!

^^^ Thank you so much for posting links to Youtube videos.

I know it must be time consuming. I want you to know that your labor of love is appreciated. The season has been so much more entertaining than it would have been had I only been able to read scattered articles and reviews.

When Ashley skates her program clean, it is great. She really sells it. And I love the music and the choreo.

Gracie needs to watch how someone like Ashley sells her program. Gracie's a quick learner and even if she's not a natural performer she should be able to improve that part of her skating.

Agreed. If there was a GS Poster of the Year Award Mao88 would get my vote!

I like Kexin Zhang skating, I find that she is a really good technician and have a beautiful different position in her spin especially in the donut spin. :love:
I wonder why she don't express herself a little bit more, it look like that she doesn't enjoy what she does in the ice even in the kiss & Cry, she looks like skating is a job an not an activity for her.
However, she is very good :)

Wow, poor Mao. She really looked injured--even in the warmup, she seemed reluctant to lift her feet. Next to her, Ashley looked like the Energizer Bunny.

LOVED Ashley's free skate here, It was the best all around skate I've seen from her. She sold it 100%, and the hair "mishap" only made her better. No wonder it was a SB score!

I think it has something to do with her personality. Hope she gets some sort of acting training to atleast get rid of the unbelievably low PCS. Below a certain point, there is just no bottom line how low the score can be; some skater can fall twice in the step sequence and still gets higher PCS.
