Skate Aya

As if I couldn’t be any more proud of her, Aya performed wonderfully at the Ice Crystal Classic 2009 competition at Lloyd Center on Sunday and won her division of 4 skaters. She performed all her elements very well, and her program was original and exciting.

In addition we have photos of the competition.

Aya plans to enter the Love to Skate competition in Eugene, OR, currently scheduled for February 5-7, 2010. There are rumors the skating rink will close due to financial circumstances, so some local skaters, including Aya’s coach, are interested in supporting what may be the final event at that arena. Aya plans to continue with the Soaring program at the beta level by adding a backward crossover to the program. In addition she will add a technical program.

2007/2008 Season

The 2007/2008 figure skating season is nearly upon us, and I am really excited. The Junior season kicked off already, with the Americans Mirai Nagasu taking a commanding lead in the Junior GP series.

The Seniors kicked off their season last weekend with the International Counter Match competition between US and Japanese men’s and ladies figure skaters, from Junior and Senior levels. Asada Mao’s short program stood out again.

Senior international competition begins in two weeks with Skate America 2007.
