Ava Marie Ziegler Cheer Thread: Leveling Up

[Wyliefan]

Win a GP and get a 4CC small medal, and you get a cheer thread! Congratulations to Ava on a great season! Here's hoping for more strong skating and more rewards going forward (and for healing of all injuries ? ).

Thread title comes from this article by Nick McCarvel.

This season she has come leaps and bounds, this coaching change seems to have worked for her. I still would’ve had her on the podium at four continents.

Ziegler definitely has had a break out season and I hope she keeps the momentum going for next season!

The girl is on fire! Anything she can do to increase her scoring potential??

With the current technical rules, she's pretty much maxed out unless she learns a 3A or quad. I think stamina and artistry are the main things, because with more stamina, she can move some combinations to the second half, and currently her artistry is not really there yet.

Does she have a triple-triple?

Ava did a 3Z/3T with a ! on the 3lutz in the SP. She didn't do a 3/3 in the FS. I don't know how stable that 3Z/3T is but she has changed coaches so maybe it will improve.

Thanks. I hope so. I think she needs it.

And she’s scheduled for a challenger competition too, isn’t she?

Yes, Nepela.

She skates the free program at Middle Atlantic this evening, but the guy who took the fancam says he won't be there, so we may not get video. I'll keep an eye out, though.

^Probably rusty for being out of competition for so long (?)

Here's an interview with Ava Ziegler following the Mid Atlantic Championship. I was glad to hear she is skating without pain.
