Yatagarasu Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 So TSL are who they are but they do sometimes have good info. They say that for the Team, it is Bradie short, Mirai long and that the Shibs have asked to skate both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She still going to 4CC. Yeah I’m not surprised with Ashley or Ross either. Ross have been vocal about why he didn’t get picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yatagarasu Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Starr is not injured. She decided to WD because apparently JWC would be too draining to do as she wants to do the Senior 4CC. More points ... plus her Lz is not there, and it's the obligatory jump in the Juniors this season. And of course, it probably pays off more in general. She is still very very raw, massive work ahead of her, so since she cannot do anything at JWC with the Russian, Korean and Japanese girls all ahead of her, she might as well try and grab a top 10 at 4CC considering a lot of people are giving that one a miss.

Yatagarasu Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Because yes, that's exactly what you should be doing when you're URing all over the place and have shown so little improvement overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatLakesGal Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I think most American fans would rather watch Starr than Ashley or Ross. Apparently she really lit up that arena in San Jose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently she really lit up that arena in San Jose. She was the first clean skater so that contributed a lot, after a series of eh free programs. Talented girl, she has great charisma but she's behind the top juniors in pretty much everything. Lot of work there to be done, especially as she's already 16 and is essentially with this turning Senior. I hope her team sort of gets to it now and forgets any 3A talk, but gets work done on some of the basics and gets that Lz back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuzuangel Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I watched Starr live. She was a nice skater and clearly very emotional/excited after her skate leading to the crowd being very emotional and excited for her. But in terms of pure performance value Ashley was clearly better than Starr, who still skates like a junior and has noticeably bad posture...I don't know why people say that Ashley didn't charm the audience because she did get at least a partial standing ovation, and she was the most polished and mature skater that day when it comes to performance. (I think Karen was the best in terms of skating skills. Mariah was good too.) Her tech wasn't there though and while she's entertaining, her skating skills are weak and her noticeably spent a LOT of time doing crossovers.

And can I be linked, or at least directed, to where they mention it? I would really rather watch Mirai in the team free if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry this is late but I had passed out by then, it was way late on my side of the pond x_x And they said they received texts with that and some other info.

But, I'm more charmed by Starr than Ashley because of their personalities. 5 hours ago, getsurenka said: I feel sad whenever I see skaters needing to raise funds to support their dreams.
