Ladies - Short Program

[Rosaleen]

I missed the first group, sorry.

I'm here now for the duration. . . .

I may not do full notes on all the elements for each skater. . I'll definitely do the jumps but may only comment on the other elements that I have something to say about (rather than just a bunch of - ok spirals, ok spin, etc.)
