I suspect it will be for tests and at present non-qualifying programs but with her ambition to get competitive test passes in next year or two. The kiddo does seem quite motivated - watching loads of figure skating on youtube, figuring loads about IJS judging. Seems to know what music skaters are skating to and watching grand prix competitions on television and even pausing on skaters jumps.
Whether or not she'll ever be good - I shouldn't really comment. She started skating age 8 and did mostly ice dance until dumped by a partner 3 years ago.....She's worked hard and fought hard but jumps not come that easily. She could do novice for 1 year but is against this as she is nearly too old and thinks she might not get competitive passes in time.
She is also downloading loads of music from youtube....
