What does everyone here think of Ashley Wagners skating?

[FSWer]

Say,I just saw Ashley Wagner skate today on TV.,and am inpressed by her mature skating for (I can't remember,I think they said she was 16) a girl her age. Has anyone else seen her skate? What do you all think of her skating?

I liked her skating. She had a lot of power and grace, and definitely skated with more maturity than I've seen from other young Senior competitors. My husband thought she was 22 or 23. He couldn't believe she was still a teenager.

Her choreographer is Jill Shipstad Thomas, who also works with Derrick Delmore.She told me that Ashley doesnt give up, and has great musicality.She also said she is a powerhouse.She is just so happy to be where she is today.
Shirley Hughes is her coach, cant go wrong there either !!

I really enjoyed watching her skate. She is a very talented young lady and should go far with her skating. Kind of a breath of fresh air in a somewhat unexciting group of skaters. JMHO.

Definitely better than Bebe Liang or that other girl who has a frog drawing on her skate (to supposedly help her jump but all she did was fall flat on her ###) and wanted a pink Hummer.

If she just makes her jumps properly, she'll be better than Alyssa (another skater who can't do jumps).

I think she will do well at '08 Nationals & will make the World team along with Meissner & whoever else is the highest ranking age-eligible skater.

Say,there's never ever been any mention of Ashley's Skatefamily. We know about other skaters parents. But who are Ashley's? Does anyone know of any names of her parents or if she has siblings? BTW. is she the only skater in her family? Just wondering.
