Olivia's a great performer, and her jumps are so neat and tidy! She's definitely not as fast as the other women here, and doesn't use nearly as much of the ice surface, but she was committed wholly to her program, and I loved the fight on her second-half jumps to get them done with quality. That choreo sequence was really nice, especially considering how tired she must have been at the end of the program. Hopefully this will have been a really valuable experience for her.
 



Respect your elders, you whippersnapper!

It's nice to see Janna back after so many struggles last season. She is skating with a lot more maturity, and has good attention to the music and performance, especially in the choreo and step sequence. I really hate her coach's axel technique - it's popped up in the juniors too and I much prefer the traditional axel step-forwards.
