I just came back from singapore nationals with a second in the adult open category.... but there were only two of us.
Anyways I splatted on my axel attempts and salchowed my double sal and underotated and two footed my double loop, but landed my lutz-loop (wonder if the second loop was considered underrotated too lol really bad day for me) and didnt fall over on my combination spin (which i have done at every single nationals before this one) so well it was ok, but it was much funner watching the rest compete after. The good thing was that I skated first in the whole event so I got to watch everybody else happily.

Congrats for having the courage to get out there and compete! Sorry you didn't have such a great skate. I know it's very disappointing when you go out there after months of hard work, only to miss stuff you normally do well, but it happens.

Oh you poor thing, but I think we can all relate to it **** happens, I also like to go first, like yourself you can then relax and watch the rest skate whereas if I dont go first, I can't watch whoever I'm competing against in case it intimidates me.

Congrats on your courage.

Congratulations, Tidesong! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. I wonder how my friends did - is there a website with the results anywhere?

you're isabelle, right? hehe. i'll let you guess who i am till i see you next at the rink. clues: i skated at nats too! AND i skated with you after the rink was 'closed' on sunday afternoon. oh oh and you introduced me to rinkside.org lol.

One of them withdrew due to back pain But the other landed his axel and double sal ( I think... lol I was still a little dazed after my program so I may not have recalled what he did acurately) The results should be at http://www.sisa.org.sg when they have time to enter it in and put it online.

falling_rain: Hey! lol I know who you are The Japanese judge brought videos of the recent european championships for us to watch during the dinner... it was such a treat!

And to everyone else thanks for the support! I felt alot better after the skate today that my friend mentioned. The rink was booked until a certain time but the competition finished earlier than expected, so we had a good time skating in a nearly empty rink. (coz most everyone else went home to rest after the competition so just a few of us stayed behind) And I landed loads of axels too hehe.
