Karen's LM stsq is really stunning in practice, even her coach applauded for that stsq loudly. Whenever you hear a coach applauded something loudly, you will know that that element is especially good. Brian Oser also applauded Alaine's SP stsq which is also very good. In comp, her LM stsq was not as good.

Yeah. I loved her speed and attack.
Great suggestion from TSL regarding Karen's under-rotation issue. they suggested Karen to increase her core strength. Karen got tons of height in her jumps (possibly one of those highest, very impressive to watch live) but she cannot rotate fast enough. stronger core will help her faster rotation. Also, visually I do feel Karen's stomach area is kinda baby fat. Maybe some core strengthening dill could help her. e.g. walking upside down
Hopefully this msg can reach Karen and her team.

What show program is Karen going to skate to in COC Ex? Butterfly lovers with two fans? Or "Because we believe" in SA Ex?

Karen Chen withdrew from sectionals. I'm still hoping she can somehow be able to compete in nationals this year, but it's very unlikely
She should be. Top 5 finishers from last year have automatic byes, she was 3rd.

I couldn't find anything online that explained it, my only source is the Pacific Coast Sectionals protocol. I wonder if it may be because she got a bye, but then again, why would she be on the protocol in the first place? I'm kinda confused here, but hopefully it's a mistake of theirs...

Yeah she managed to go clean and received good reception from the audience. What positive tremendous results, hopefully lead to good things at US nationals and buy a ticket to the world championships. Oh Karen, I am enormously proud of you. Pretty good skates, you even managed to beat the Olympic Champion

Karen's had a rough season this year, but I hope to see her come back strong next season without injuries or boot problems! It was disappointing seeing her skate so poorly at nationals, especially after her stellar senior nationals debut last year. But there's loads of potential, and I can't wait to see what she has in store next competition!

Karen has amazing spirals! And they're so well timed to the music
and she holds them for more than a quarter of a second
