Disclaimer: if a skater lands on their knees or hands I call that a fall.
I understand that doesn't always count as a fall as far as deductions
go. But while trying to watch skating and take notes I don't have time
to write down details of falls, I just call anything that is down on the
ice a fall. The judges may have other ideas.

Music is from one of the Harry Potter movies. Landed a
double axel, fell on a triple toe, landed a double flip. She had a big
smile throughout her program. She ended with a catch foot layback spin.
She has nice positions in her spins with clean lines.

I think her combination was two double jumps and I
couldn't tell the revolutions of her axel. She held her spirals for a
very long time. She has beautiful arm movements. Landed a double jump
out of steps. She did a nice circular step sequence.

at the judges. She popped the lutz, landed a double out of steps. She
did a very nicely stretched spiral which she held well. Landed a double
axel. She did a catch foot layback into a Bielman spin.

She landed a triple salchow/double toe combination and two
footed the double axel. She has a fast layback spin and she did an
unusual catch foot spin in which she caught her foot through her arms,
very cool position. She did a well done change edge spiral. She also
gave the judges many flirty expressions. Landed a double flip.

She landed a very high triple lutz/double toe and
triple flip out of steps. Jumps that make you say "wow". She did a camel
into a doughnut spin. She did a layback spin with a very deep arch then
pulled up into a Bielman. She did a spread eagle into a double axel.
Skated to swing music.

Landed a triple lutz/double toe. Then I have
something written down about her steps, but I have no idea what I wrote.
She fell on the flip. She did a catch foot layback into a very stretched
Bielman spin. She did ballerina steps and arm movements. She did a split
jump and a spread eagle or a split jump in her spiral sequence I can't
quite make out my notes. Hey writing and watching skating is an art not
a science. She landed the double axel had a dreamy expression on her
face.

She is a very expressive young lady who really skates to
the music not just skating with the music in the background. Music I am
told is from Corpse Bride. She did three turns into a loop and fell. She
did a beautiful layback spin into a Bielman. She landed a double flip.
She has great expression and an excellent change edge spiral, deep edges
and smooth change. She fell on a double axel. I like her musicality and
interpretation but I could have done without her stabbing herself in the
final combination spin.

Jazzy program. Okay we are nearing the end of the
event so my note taking is slowing down. She landed a double axel and a
salchow/loop combination. She did a double flip with her hands over her
head in a nice arch. She has good speed and nice positions in her
combination spin.

You know, if I weren't the web mistress of this site I would fire me for
the way my note taking veers off toward the end of a competition.
