2005 Hidden Valley Open

Junior Lady's Free

I got there late so I couldn't get myself set up to take notes until the final flight.

Anna Malkova (All Year FSC)
Music from Gladiator. Stepped out of a triple jump, fast camel spin. She did a straightline step sequence into a double jump (her footwork was to the same music that Yagudin used for his footwork sequence in 02) She did catch foot spirals forward and back. Landed a triple salchow, did a fast layback spin, landed a double lutz a triple/double combination and a double axel/double toe combination. She did a split jump with nice height and stretch. She did a Sasha skid. 1st in free and overall
Caroline Zhang (All Year FSC)
Music is The Swan. Opened with some very pretty arm positions. She did a lutz/loop combination, landed a double axel, fell out of a triple jump. She did a pretty forward inside camel into a doughnut spin. Fell on another triple, landed a lutz. Did a change edge spiral and had some spirals with Sasha-esque positions. Landed a double jump, and a double axel/double loop combination. Beautiful layback spin, and a very extended fast combination spin. 3rd in free and overall
Elaina Chu (Peninsula Skating Club)
Landed a double axel, did a very nice fast, flowing spread eagle into I think a double salchow, but I can't read my notes very well. Did a double loop combination but popped the second jump. Nice split jump good flow coming out of it. Landed a double jump did a stage leap, a nice ina baur into a double that she stepped out of. Serpentine spiral postion with many spiral variations. Fell on a salchow and an axel. She is a fast, flowing skater. 4th in free and overall.
Karen Zhou (All Year FSC)
She landed a double axel a different double jump and another double axel. She two footed a triple jump, and fell on a salchow. Forward Inside camel into a Harding spin. Landed a double loop, did a catch foot layback. Two footed another double jump. Fell on a triple salchow. Her circular footwork was very good with a lot of difficult steps. I thought she was going to place higher. 5th in free and overall.
Angela Nguyen (Glacier Falls FSC)
She landed a triple that she sort of spun out of. (I have never found a way to write about skating without ending sentences in a preposition.) Landed a triple jump and fell on a salchow. Landed a double axel. Very good layhback spin with many, well stretched positions. Catch foot spiral. Landed a double lutz/double toe, and a double axel/double toe and another double jump. Did a kind of backward leaning camel spin. She has innovative connecting steps and spin positions. She deserved to move up and she did. 2nd in free and overall.
