Hello there long time no see. XD
Io I don't actually know how long it has been since I've done a post, but I have just been working hard on school work and ice skating it has taken up my entire life. I don't even watch TV. However I've been able to catch my favourite shows on iplayer and stuff.
On to more important matters at hand, rather than just my TV watching schedule. As we should all be aware the worlds figure skating championships just ended. and I think we can all agree on the women's competition was just devastating to watch. By the end even the commentators where droning out and upset by all of the performances. Obviously congratulations are in order for all of the women who placed. But there was not one single perfect performance. I think my favourite, close to perfect performance was Ashley Wagner, who really is still putting her heart into the sport and putting up a good competitive fight, unlike the other girls (not all but most), you can see those who where at the bottom of the chart after the short program fighting to get into the top ten and they possibly could. The big names had really let themselves down, and once Queen Yuna completely missed this entire season. But I am holding no judgement on Mao Asada. I honestly don't think I have the heart.
I would like to say a huge congratulations thought to the only British skater Jenna McCorkell for becoming 14th, coming to her highest once again in the world championships :| . Seriously people, her timing was all off, her body just looked wrong, there was no flow or real connection with her to the music, it was a sloppy performance, and I think it's time we put funding to a new skater to show the world once again that Britain has some true honest skating talents. I skate with girls who have to potential to be ten times better than what she is. obviously she has a life but she doesn't expect to win or come into the top ten, so she just skates to get a place so she can go back next year. She is almost done anyway, but she should be fighting to end her career with a bang. Britain has lost all their faith in her and it we want a new competitor (I personally think I could do it loool)finally I have to say that I cried watching Asada skate. literally I just wanted to understand why she wasn't skating the way she used to and I was sitting there thinking to myself, I have no idea what it is like to loose your mother, no one I know has gone thorough that, I couldn't possibly imagine loosing mine and I just think that she cant take skating and dealing with this right now so her technique and ability has fallen and so has her confidence, because I know her mum spurred her on and was a huge reason to why she skated, I think she might have lost her fire. Mao will always be a fighter but I think she didn't want to compete without the challenge and that she couldn't push herself to give any more. my heart and prayers goes out to her family and I pray that she will find her fire and come back next season because I love Mao, she is one of my biggest inspirations and I dream of being able to skate like her one day. and though I have no idea what she is going through I know the world hasn't seen the best of her yet.
lets hope next Season will be better, for all the skaters and that we'll be welcoming some new faces to the sport, i am very exited to see Adelina Sotnicova in the senior world championships and I'm sure there will be quite a few others. maybe some new bits. Fingers crossed Skaters.
