Karen. 
She really needs a new coach, or something. Someone like Orser who can give her programs that connect well with her musicality and also work on that UR on the 3T. It's such a shame since her lutz is so huge, but then the 3T is UR. I hope she can find someone to fix this? And address her other UR issues. If she just addressed her jumps her PCS would skyrocket too. Does she still have a chance for the Olympics?... I'm so worried for her, since at this rate she needs to WIN Nationals in order to secure a spot. Otherwise I can see the spot going to Bradie/Mirai/Ashley(maybe) though Ashley hasn't been that great either.

Well done for overcoming illness with determination and self believe.
Please take care of yourself in the meantime, no silly business. Hope you feel better soon!

CONGRATS TO KAREN! WELL DESERVED!
I do really hope that Karen works on her URs. I think judges sent a message on what she needs to improve on before the Olympics.

Just watched the today interview with the 3 champions... and just became more of a fan based on her efforts to rescue that awkward interview. I like how's she's starting to show more personality in interviews!:agree:

Yeah, I was really surprised by how awkward that interview was. But I liked that Karen remained upbeat and didn't fall into the "this is awkward wth" facial expression. She literally saved the last question! Otherwise it would just be an awkward silence answer to "What do you think of your chances in OG?"

HUGE triple lutz to the music and a lovely program. Blows away most of the other ladies to be honest in terms of the packaging... :agree:

Kinda wish she would do a 3f-3t and save the Lutz as a solo jump. Heck...3t-3t. Whatever. That Lutz can stand on its own and seems to be too big and disrupts the flow of the combo. What do I know though
I wish her luck in the Olympics. Would be a great place to make a bigger name for herself. She’s got all she needs...just gotta go big!

She needs to offer more silverware I guess. Shallow as it is, great skating skills and pretty spins plus to die for spirals might not get you the wider recognition she deserves.
