• Great layback spin with nice arm variations and good stretch in her Biellman but really losing speed

• Triple lutz + double toe
• Good speed in the combo spin ending with a haircutter
• Good camel position picking up speed through the donut and into a decent catchfoot
• Pops her loop but tacks on the double axel for a sequence
• Nice triple lutz
• A little bit messy in places in her step sequence and I'd like to see her push through her legs and not her back to get across the ice
• Good triple flip
• Nice double axel
• Ending with her signature Tw-Hicks

Agnes Zawadzki: 54.18 TES + 61.14 PCS -1.00 = 114.32 Total: 179.63 and into 2nd place

• Huge triple lutz
• Triple toe + triple toe looked two footed on the 2nd jump
• Double flip
• She has such a great Biellman position 
• Gorgeous lift to side extension and flipping to an arabeseque without once touching her leg--showing strength, control and ballet training
• Nice double axel with good flow out
• Good triple salchow
• Triple lutz two footed the landing, fell and missed her combo
• Double axel forward on the landing but hangs on for the double toe + double loop
• Good positions in her camel spin with nice speed
• I really like her playfulness in this step sequence, she really plays to the crowd but could have more power and speed to really get across the ice
• Camel spin into a sit and ending with a beautiful upright catch foot with nice toe point

Ashley Wagner: 57.45 TES + 65.82 PCS -2.00 = 121.27 Total: 188.84 and into 1st place

• Triple flip + double toe + double loop with both arms overhead
• Double axel + double toe
• Triple salchow two footed
• Good layback position and I like the accents in the spin positions with the music; nice Biellman as well
• She seems a bit nervous and tentative tonight and I'm sure this is the most pressure she's felt all season
• Triple loop nice with good flow out
• Triple flip two footed and a fall
• Triple loop two footed and a fall
• She needs to really start pulling out all the steps in the performance if she wants to keep her PCS edge
• Triple flip two footed
• Nice spiral and she seems to finally have her performance qualities back
• Good camel spin position, nice change of foot into a good catch foot

Mirai Nagasu: 49.80 TES + 60.56 PCS -1.00 = 109.36 Total: 173.75 and into 7th place

• Nice triple lutz
• Double axel + triple toe
• Triple lutz two footed and fell out of it
• Good position in the camel spin with leg above 90 degrees and an excellent donut spin but no speed
• Bobbled on the entrance to the triple flip + double toe + double loop but hangs on to it
• Triple loop + double toe
• Double axel with nice flow out
• Great spiral into a triple loop and really fought for that landing
• Not great illusion spins and not a lot of speed through her spins but nice positions otherwise
• Seemed a little tired coming out of that spin and had to take a second to get back in to it
• This is such a contract from her short program because I feel like she's not giving a performance at all after the happy carefree short
• Ending with a nice layback into a Biellman
• Bobbling a bit in her ending pose
