2006 Hidden Valley Open
Opinionated, biased, unbalanced. I report, I decide.
Senior Ladies Free Skate

Danielle Kahle |
All Year FSC |
Skated to Beauty and the Beast. Landed a
triple salchow, a triple flip and a double lutz. She did a really nice
forward inside camel with pretty position. She smiled right at the
audience during the spiral sequence. Landed a triple toe/double toe and
a double axel/double toe. She has a very musical serpentine step
sequence. Fell on one jump and landed a double loop. Ended her program
with a blur scratch spin. This is probably the last we will see of her
Beauty and The Beast program and I am going to
miss it. First in the free and overall.

Her jumps didn't want to come with her to Escondido, she fell on a
triple lutz, toe and salchow. She has very pretty spin positions, and
she does an amazing sit spin with her leg up over her head. Great split
jump into a double axel. She is fast with good ice coverage. She stepped
out of double loop and did a jump that I didn't see clearly, stepped out
of a double loop, she tried a double axel/double toe and fell on the
toe. First in the free and overall.

Sophia Adams

Skated to music from The Wizard of Oz. This is a great
program with wonderful choreography well skated by Sophia. She landed a
triple salchow/double toe, fell on another triple jump. She did some
twirls to the music of the tornado hitting. She does a beautiful layback
spin, which unfortunately she had to turn into a Bielman due to the
madness known as COP. She did trhee turns into a loop and popped an
axel. She landed a triple/double combination and hit a beautiful spiral
right onto a crescendo of Over the Rainbow,
beautiful. She did a Sasha skid, tree turns into another loop that she
fell on. Landed a triple salchow. I would have given her much higher
marks but I am not a judge.
57.78 on the free skate and 93.24 points overall.
