Skate America Day Three
Yeah, yeah I know Skate Canada is starting and I am just now getting
around to finishing the Skate America reports. Hey you juggle unpacking
with a two year old and the world's sloppiest husband. Okay I don't have
notes for everyone. But you have seen the top ones on tv by now anyway.
Here are the notes I do have.
- Julia Obertas & Alexei Sokolov
- The side by side triple toes
were okay, so was the triple twist. He fell out of the side by side
double axels. They did pretty side by side music box spins, kind of
positioned like a music box dancer. She put her hand down on one throw
and the second throw as fine. She had very nice pointed toes in lifts.
He fell in the pair spin. They did a lift where he flips her up
backwards, like a somersault into the lift. They did a star lift that
turned into a star adagio lift.
The entire first flight came off the ice huffing and puffing. They
looked like the needed an oxygen tank, the altitude in Colorado Springs
is a killer. It is probably cruel and unusual punishment to make people
skate up here.
- Valerie Saurette & Jean-Sebastien Fecteau
- Skated to the
diamond commercial music. She fell on the side by side triple toes, their lift
had a very crashy landing. One of their throws was a throw double axel.
They were very expressive and had a pretty pair spiral. They did a pair
ina baur into a pairs spin. The 2nd throw did not happen, it looked like
he was going to throw her and they pulled back from it. She fell on the
side by side spins. But this was a gorgeous, romantic program, and I
loved them.
- Danielle Hartsell and Steve Hartsell
- They skated to the music of
Marshall's Peter Rabbit videos! They was so much fun, I watch those
tapes about a couple of times a week so it was a real kick to hear the
music. Ummm, I have notes for them, but Steve had a lot of problems with
the side by side jumps he fell on the first set and stumbled on a couple
of others. But this is a pretty program and I liked it.
- Jamie Sale & David Pelletier
- She doubled the side by side
triple toes. The rest of the program was so polished and so smooth I
can't belive they are this good at the beginning of the season. The
usual amazing romantic presentation, expression, fabulous line... well as
you can tell I love them.
- Kyoko Ina & John Zimmerman
- I think this is the best I ever saw
them skate, they were fast and had good synch. They are doing the same
program as last year, with new costumes. He stepped out of the side by
side triple toes, the side by side double axels were okay. He caught her
with his body on the triple twist. He put his hand down on the other
side by side double axels (can any of our pair skatie boys land jumps?)
She scraped the ice with her free leg when she landed the throw triple
loop. Second throw was fine.
