Bradie Tennell tops nationals short program; Ashley Wagner in danger
What to watch at U.S. Figure Skating Championships on WednesdayBradie Tennell broke the U.S. Championships short program record with 73.79 points on Wednesday and looks destined for the Olympics.
Ashley Wagner sits a tenuous fifth (65.94) going into Friday’s free skate, which will determine the three-woman team for PyeongChang. She was satisfied.
“This was solid; it was exactly what I needed it to be,” Wagner said on NBCSN. “You can lose an event with the short program. And, for me, my main focus was to just get through this, not get too far behind and get myself a close enough distance to really make a killing in the long [program].”
