We attended the afternoon practice session and watched them all warm up and run portions of their programs and Ashley Wagner came to our section to sign autographs. That evening at 4:00 we saw the show. Meryl Davis was so exhausted (just before the finale of Dancing With The Stars) but she was still radiant and skated beautifully. She and Charlie White scratched their planned Olympic number, no doubt because Meryl needed to save her energy. They didn't say.
Unfortunately I did not bring a REAL CAMERA and this is all I got at Stars On Ice with my iPhone.

Saturday I finally got back on the ice. I went to a freestyle session at Frontier Ice and didn't take much video until the last 5 minutes of practice. I am happy to say that I did go through ALL my jumps twice or more, even the Lutz (3 times) ... trying to get over the fear of that one.
The video is my attempt to learn a Flying Camel Spin and a Back Sit Spin. Baby steps of progress.
It was fun to see you at Stars on Ice, Diane! Hmm, I missed Ashley Wagner coming to our section, I must have been off with my friends from another skating club. It was disappointing not to see Meryl and Charlie's Scheherazade but there was so much else to enjoy. I'm glad that Alissa Czisny was the guest skater for our show.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you too! I enjoyed the practice more than the show!
