Click HERE. Many things immediately strike me as I watch this. First of all, the fact that it was only shot with one camera, which has it's advantages and disadvantages. You can really see how much ice she's covering, but facial expressions are impossible to discern. Also the fact that it didn't take place in a giant hockey arena, but a rink in which the seating only appears to be four or five rows high.
But what's most interesting about the performance is the fact that instead of front-loading like most of today's skaters are prone to do, she actually saves all the most difficult moves for the last couple of minutes. It's almost as if the first half serves as a warm-up for the second half. Killer layback and sitspins, even by today's standards.
