Who is your US Ladies podium??

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I stick with my same 3. I think Karen could end up 4-5 sadly this time... But who knows!!!

Only allows 10 as per usual.

 

[alchemy void]

1 Tennell
2 Wagner
3 Nagasu
4 Hicks
5 Chen

Just by looking at practice : Mirai, Bradie, Ashley.
But then it's just practice. Although I'd like Mirai to become US champion just for her personnal satisfaction. 4 years ago wasn't a mistake, they were right to send Ashley. But if she could earn this this time, I say yes !

Since this is a prediction, and not a want, I picked Ashley, Karen Chen, and (for an upset) Courtney Hicks. I didn't want to jinx Mirai by picking her (so I guess I violated the rule a little bit )

Podium is 4 places, but ill play along

 

[chapis]

I hope Mirai, Ashley and Karen

1 Tennell
2 Wagner
3 Nagasu
4 Hicks
5 Chen

Exactly the same for me although maybe 2. Mirai and 3. Ash

Please not Ashley Wagner. We need new blood; and she’s way past her prime.

....It’s not like Wagner is to blame for the younger generation not knowing how to compete at the big events and being prone to under rotating their jumps.

A past her prime Wagner still earned 1 of the 2 GP medals for our ladies this season

I agree actually. Slim pickings... none are podium contenders.

I agree! LOL, whats the "new blood" doing to get on top the podium?

If the best skater is a 30 year old than amazing. If its a 16 yr old good too.

1. Nagasu
2. Tennell
3. Wagner

I am hoping the USFSA has instructed the judges to reward technical content with GOEs, so the selection is not ultimately made based on PCS.

 

[Firedancer]

Nagasu, Tennell & Wagner...in any order.

 

[Vagabond]

I think Wagner may be facing her Götterdämmerung.

 

[DreamSkates]

Wagner, Nagasu, Tennell, then Chen for 4th but I am not predicting the first 3 spots as far as order.

 

[Spiralgraph]

I'd like to see Mirai skate her best and win. But I won't predict that. I really have no idea what the podium will be. It will be exciting.

 

[VGThuy]

I’m going to go out on somewhat on a limb and say Karen will be in the top 3 with Bradie and Mirai.

 

[Wyliefan]

All I hope is that Ashley doesn't have to dig her way out of a big hole after the short. I know she can do it, and I know she finds it motivating, but I'm getting too old for this.

 

[Areski]

Nagasu, Wagner, Tennell - first three spots in any order, that's my prediction. My gut feeling tells me that Mirai will shock us all and win it convincingly.
