2006 Hidden Valley Open

Opinionated, biased, unbalanced. I report, I decide.

Senior Ladies Free Skate

1st 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.

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.
