I'm with you Shine. I think it's pretty risky to let a kid get comfortable with the 'muscle memory' of poor jump landings. She needs to train her body and blades to complete jumps before they hit the ice.

Apparently, there were no interruptions of newscasts to announce this feat a la Tara. And not the joy of Oksana taking over Nancy, two footed jumps and all. But let's keep in mind, little girls can win over the judges. But will they accept little girls from another continent? We'll see.

I'm wondering how you make this assumption. You are saying that it's almost impossible to start fully rotating your jumps? I'm mystified as to how you could come to this conclusion.peachstatesk8er said:I respectfully disagree. If she cannot make a full rotation now, then she will have an even harder time when she gets a bit bigger.
Joesitz said:Lavender - The only time I visit another Board is when someone puts a link in their reply. I didn't know it was the Sasha Board. I was looking for some commentary on how she skated.
I would like to see her skate and make up my own mind but will I?
The Japanese ladies also have a storehouse of highly potential medalists, and will this girl be shown on American TV if she doesn't make the Worlds?
Probably not, so I leave my judgement until I do see her.

Anyway, very nice for a 12 year old. She needs to fix that deep flutz though.
