Porting this over from the 2012-2013 programs thread, first posted by burntBREAD, this is 12 year old Karen Chen's FS at the Silicon Valley Open just a few days ago on 7/28. A few months back at the US novice championships, she blew the scoring record in novice out the water by a slew of triples, including a perfect lutz, and a 2axel/3toe combo. I thought that was impressive. But now she's demolished that earlier version of herself. She landed a 3lutz/3loop here, along with her old 2axel/3toe, and a 3lutz nestled in a footwork sequence as her final triple of the program. 7 triples in all + 2 double axels. Her skating seems so nice and smooth until she explodes into her jumps. She has such marvelously fast spins, too. One nitpick: she does not appear to have fixed the lip on her 3flip. Oh well, better to still have something to work on when you're 12.
