From the Los Angeles suburb of Bellflower, Calif., 16 year-old Vanessa Lam, a quiet yet well-spoken high school student, emerged from relative obscurity to hope for the future in the span of one fall weekend in Ostrava.

^ you can see her jgp events on youtube.
i love her attitude, it's so positive. she sees everything as a learning experience to better herself and doesn't beat herself up over the not so great times. that's like the perfect attitude a skater can have.

If Vanessa puts together her Short Program from the Final with a Freeskate like Austria or Silicon Valley, she will in top tier!

What a clever title for the article. :agree:

I think U.S. nationals is wide open for the ladies. Vanessa has as good a chance as anyone to come out on top.

What an acheivement to make the Scholastic Honors Team. Very few on this Team actually compete at Nationals. I think there was an Ice Dancer last year.

I don't know. She probably has the tinest jumps that I've ever seen from a senior level ladies skater. Yes, even worse than Caroline Zhang. I don't know how she manages to complete the rotations on any of her triples.
