2020 Skate America Preview - Ladies

The Ladies event at Skate America, I would say, is a battle between Mariah Bell and Bradie Tennell. They are both capable of winning here. Tennell had the edge almost all of last season, except at Nationals. Bell, though, dominated the first opportunity of the ISP Points Challenge over Tennell, who narrowly won the second. It could be anyone’s game here, but I would say the free will be much more the deciding factor in here than the short program.

Things get a bit… complicated after that, as the bronze medal is wide open.

If I had to pick contenders for this medal, I would say they are: Amber Glenn and Karen Chen.

Amber Glenn was third overall after the ISP Points Challenge, and if she skates like that again, the bronze medal here is hers. However, she is not known for her consistency. She has a habit of skating good shorts, and not-so-good free programs. She started off last season quite similarly, and her next couple of competitions went about as she usually does – with the frees being not as good as the shorts were. Hopefully, this is the start of something different.

If it isn’t, though, we could look to Karen Chen. She had a good opening at the ISP Points Challenge, but she has the same problem that Glenn does – good shorts and not-so-good frees. Her biggest problem is under rotations, and that will be what she needs to watch out for if she wants to end up anywhere near the podium and not farther down.

With the consistency of the top two, it could be a good opportunity for the next group of skaters to maybe break in there.

This will be Shan Lin – formerly competing as Ashley Lin for the US – international debut for China, and she is the only skater in the Ladies event competing for a non-American country. She is the reigning Chinese Bronze Medalist, and was fifth at the 2018 Nebelhorn Trophy. A skate like that could have her be a surprise here.

Starr Andrews is the other skater I would put here. She has the capability to medal here, she is more than capable, but I feel like we’ve never really seen her skate at what she is really capable of. She was seventh at the ISP Points Challenge, and another score like that… and she maybe seventh again here, but she is capable of more.

Audrey Shin is the other skater I would put in this group. She was a surprise, at least for me, sixth, at the ISP Points Challenge. She was only about four points off of Karen Chen and Alysa Liu’s scores (Liu of course is not here), so she could be a big surprise. This is a good opportunity for her to get into the top half of the skaters here.

Now, then… and I’m not putting her in that group, but we have Gracie Gold. She was eleventh at the ISP Points Challenge, but it was on par with what she scored at Regionals last year. She improved by about forty points between that and Sectionals, so she may break into the top of the skaters here. The thing to watch out for is her free skate – she is not as consistent as she used to be.

And then… we have everyone else. All talented ladies, but this is actually a tough field, and these ladies are probably going to end up on the bottom of the pack – Pooja Kalyan, Paige Rydberg, Sierra Vanetta, and Finley Hawk. Hawk is the only one I am not really familiar with, though she scored a 110 and change at a free-skate only competition a while back, but all are worth watching in this competition.
