In the oven...I'll grab my hat

 

[yesterday]

wow first 3A of the day!

Just past 3 PM here in Australia, yet I had to take a nap after pairs finished and made myself a double shot coffee just now. Not sure why I tend to feel so sleepy in the afternoon like this

You must be a Queenslander! It's just after 4pm here in NSW

Looks like Amber's having a way better skate today

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Oh, she started so well... not a total disaster but also not her best

 

[yesterday]

some stepouts but better indeed

Amber's music has inspired me to concoct a drink made from Prevagen, cough syrup, and vodka. I call it the emotini.

 

[EdgeCall]

Nice skate. The first half was drop-dead beautiful, but she somehow lost focus in the latter.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Dang, spoke to soon.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

AMBER. AMBER THAT WAS YOUR CLOSEST EVER TO CLEAN 3A IN COMPETITION AND YOU DIDN'T POP?!

 

[Lynse]

Not as good as before but better then the SP. Love this routine.

 

[moonvine]

Omg I feel so bad for her. Sometimes I expect her to pull a Chris K and just go “I’m done” in the middle of a comp. She keeps on trucking though.

 

[purplecat]

Arrgh, not horrible, but some costly mistakes there for Amber

 

[Lamente Ariane]

She got knocked down! But she got up again! You're not ever gonna keep her down! (I hope) /Tubthumping

 

[Ichatdelune]

Pretty close to a clean 3A, kudos for that

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

They called the 3A rotation clean, but it does have a minus GOE so it won't count as her first clean 3A attempt

[moonvine]

I love Amber's dress a lot! I sure hope she has a great skate!

You know she said it was the first time she’d ever worn a sleeveless dress because she was ashamed of her arms.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Pretty close to a clean 3A, kudos for that

Yeah, I'm counting that as a win by Amber standards.

Amber, mixed skate... Only 2 combos but at least no falls, and I think that was one of the better 3A attempts from her in competition.
