Yes, let's try our best to reward easier things over harder things. Such a credible sport...
(Perhaps the solution you're looking for is a harsher fall penalty? Why not reward the triple axel when it's well done?)
You do realize that is the exact same argument I'm making right... there are more difficult ways to do combinations but the current rules don't reward you for it.

That would be nice, but I would also be all for Tyler becoming more expressive/exciting.

Imagine having the Edge flooded with a new 3A thread, one after another. I mean there's fan-fest for that stuff. Well, I don't approve or think there is a need for a new one especially considering most hardly look promising aside from Tuk's. With Tuk I'm OK with her having a 3A thread seeing she's actually landing them in practice.

This is a very good PR move by Kori. The chatter is that even though Bell had a breakthrough Nationals, she won't be a top contender on the GP. A potential 3A changes the perception and helps her stand out among the US ladies vying for next year's spots. I am all for giving someone new and on the upswing a chance, instead of a known quantity like Nagasu.

You don't have to post in any threads you don't like. Personally I'm over the moon that people are talking about Mariah and this thread has more posts than her fan thread does so I don't see any issues. Besides...read my first post. I'm clearly poking fun at 3a mania. It was a nice 3a albeit on a pole harness.
I agree with the idea that it may be a promotional move. I'm happy to partake and add to Mariah's hype in any way I can :yes:

To expand on this, there are skaters that I don't follow enough to stalk their fan threads, but if they try a new move, I might still have enough interest to want to find out, take a look, and maybe comment on that that topic. I could see it get too out of hand, but as it stands I think there may be a lot of people like me that are interested to see skaters working on stuff regardless of who the skater is.

It looked excellent in that video, all though the harness changes everything and I'm not sure if she's doing them that well consistently, even in the harness. I do think the 3-3 is more important, but if it's easier for her to get the 3A, go for it! I really like her, so I hope she does, but it'll be interesting either way to see if she tries it in competition.

She said she is just doing it for fun pretty much and has no plans to include it in competition. She did however say she has tried it without the harness if I'm not mistaken. :think:
I'm hoping for really solid choreography next year and steady improvement. If I could pick one thing to improve on her it would be executing every movement with a bit more conviction, we already know she has an infectious way about her. Now I'd like to see it mixed with a bit more of a competitive edge. I trust in Kori and her ability to get the most out of Mariah.

Very good, Coyote! Stupid question time: is Hannah Miller on Team KoRo with Mariah and Tyler, or did she just happen to be in the picture?

I think Poor Hannah is still training with her Aunt. It would be nice if she went to train with Mariah and Tyler.

I thought she was training with Orashev at least part time now? And Hannah goes to public high school, so relocating her training base probably wasn't an option up until this point. She graduates this year though, so that should open up more coaching possibilities. I really like her skating. She is so strong and powerful, I wish she could learn how to translate that into more speed and bigger jumps on the ice.

She is just one of my adopted "grand daughters".
