Thanks for posting this. I'm going to see if any of the old timers in our two local rinks knew of her.
She is fabulous! Had to watch her moves over & over. Love her camel spins!
Also, at 52 seconds is one of the coolest arm positions for a back spin! Love the lutz jump turned into a split, and her backwards spiral that's a split jump! At 2:14 is a beautiful side layback. There is a strange, but explosive jump at 2:50. Can't figure that one out. At 2:55 is an amazing combiation spin with a really wild exit!l Another wild exit at 3:20.
What was her background? Ballet and skating together from an early age.
Her axel reminds me of my old axel - jumped forward. Which is now not good.
Did you see this one of her?
