I really didn't know much about this skater, and was quite shock to see her get 2 GP spots, especially over Kahle (Personally I thought they should have split 1 between each other). However, I recently saw clips of her performance this past US Nationals and was quite impressed!
She really is an enjoyable skater, very refine, but most importantly, SKATES WITH MATURITY! She has clean lines, nice spirals, wonderful spins (I just love her usage of broken leg positions), and has quite nice coverage. There's this nice, natural grace yet powerful element to her skating, reminiscent of Kwan and Gusmeroli. Of course there are still some areas that she needs to polish, however she's one of those skaters that keeps my attention. We'll see how she fares on the GP!
