has a pretty catch foot layback spin. She two footed a double axel. She
did a very long held Bielman spiral and a back Bielman spiral. She
popped a salchow. She did intricate circular footwork and another double
jump. But she fell on her combination spin.

She started out with a double lutz/double toe/double loop series but
fell. She landed a triple toe/double toe, I think. She did a catch foot
layback spin and had a pretty smile throughout her program. She
landed a double jump and a double loop. She landed a triple salchow and
then she said "ooooo" in amazement, it was very cute. She landed another
jump and pumped her fist. A fun program

She skated to the Overture from The Wizard of
Oz and wore a beautiful blue dress with a rainbow sash. This
program is a work of art, some of the best choreography and presentation
ever. This girl has enough expression for five skaters. Unfortunately
not all the jumps would go over the rainbow with her last Sunday.
She did a triple salchow/double toe and a double axel. Then she did a
great, intricate straight line step sequence during the tornado music.
She did a beautiful layback into a Bielman spin. She did three turns
into a triple loop. She landed a double axel/single toe, but then fell
on a triple toe. She did three turns into another loop and did another
salchow I could not determine the revolutions. I hope to get to see a
lot more of Sophia.

She satred out landing a double axel and then a triple salchow, she had
beautiful landing postions in these jumps. She landed a triple
lutz/double toe and a jump I missed. She did Shizuka's spiral. She did
three turns into a triple loop/double loop. She did a layback with a
deep arch into a Bielman spin, ended with another jump I could not make
out. (They keep the hockey netting and plastic shields up at Culver City
and it makes it hard to see everything.) After she skated I thought that
is going to be hard to beat and it turns out no one beat it.

She skated to a Santana Medley She landed a triple flip/double toe and a
triple lutz/double toe. She landed another triple flip and a triple
salchow. She is really fast. She landed a triple toe/double toe
combination, a double axel and a double loop. She did a fast layback and
combination spin. She didn't have a lot of transitions or choreography
which is why she was fourth despite jumping up a storm.

Music is Danse Macabre. A much more dramatic
program from Victoria, she usually skates to ballet music, this was more
intense and dark. And she really pulled it off, much more expressive and
she stretched as an artist, very nice to see this from Victoria. She
started off by falling on a triple lutz. The she landed a triple flip
and put her hand down on a triple salchow and landed a triple
salchow/double loop. She did that amazing sit spin of hers where she
puts her foot over her head, something that can not be described you
have to go to Coasts and see for yourself. She did a well stretched
split jump and a double axel/double loop combination. She has a very
stretches spiral sequence and a catch layback spin into a very stretched
Bielman spin.

She landed a triple lutz and a triple flip and held on to a triple
salchow. She does very stretched spirals, held a long time. She also had
nice expression going into a double axel. She landed a double
lutz/double toe, and a double axel/double toe and a combination behind a
post that I couldn't make out. She had very expressive presentation
throughout the program.

She did a triple/double and two footed the triple in another
triple/double combination. She did a single axel and another jump I
didn't the take off. Then I scribbled something about her sit spin being
good, but I can't tell what was good about it. She landed a double loop
and a triple salchow. She did a fast catch foot layback with nice
position. Then ended with two double jumps.
