Sometimes when a skater falls in practice it can become a source of motivation. Anna P fell all over SC practice and took gold with a fairly clean skate. I'm surprised it was a SAL again because she nailed the last one at TEB. Her Flip was in question last time for me and I've been wondering if one affects the other for her.

Agree. Not good practice doesn't mean she couldn't deliver in competition. I am thinking her new boots might have affected her jumps lately (and on top of that late preparation as well). But anyways it's the first official practice. She is getting used to the new ice surface.

Sam, Didn't you point to a weakness or concern about the SAL about 6 weeks ago? Can we judge much about improvement from a single execution (as at TEB or a fall in practice)? Are the two problem jumps related in terms of their execution (I mean physical movement)? Isabel, do you have some insight on this?
