No, I don't think she's skating anymore, but her sister Emily is. If Michelle Kwan is not fit to skate (she's been injured), then Emily Hughes will be on the team.

Good day.  \n\nHope I can give you some detailed info on figure skating.  I was a former competitive figure skater and have been coaching figure skating for 15+ years in the DFW area.  My students range from beginning level through national competitors.\n\nThere are two recognized organizations in the United States for figure skating: USFSA  (United States Figure Skating Association) and ISI (Ice Skating Institute).  \n\nUSFSA is the road to the US Figure Skating Championships, Worlds and the Olympics.  The levels in USFSA are pre-preliminary, preliminary, pre-juv, juv, intermediate, novice, junior and senior.  In the qualifying competitions, there are specific age restrictions for the appropriate levels.  \n\nFor example:  to compete at the regional level in juv girls the age limit is 12 years.  Keep in mind that even at the pre-preliminary level the girls are doing axels.  \n\nInitially, the skater would do learn-to-skate classes and private lessons to get them through the basic skill level.  Then they would move up to pre-preliminary levels and begin a series of tests: field moves (replaced school figures) and freeskate tests.  Successfully passing these tests qualifies the skater for their competition levels.\n\nI would highly recommend that your daughter skate through the ISI program.  There are numerous competition opportunities for your daughter's age range.    \n\nCheck with the local skating rink in your area to see if their skating classes follow the ISI curriculum.  It is geared primarly for recreational skaters and even goes through adult levels for competitions.  It is a great organizations and they even have their own "Worlds" each summer with no qualifying, unlike USFSA.  Any eligible ISI skater can compete at ISI Worlds.  It is being held this year (July) in Boston.  One of my skaters is competing at that competition.  My students range from ISI to USFSA skaters and both organizations are wonderful!  \n\nShe should start with learn-to-skate classes and supplement a private lesson once a week.  Repetition is key in figure skating and she should be practing twice a week.  This would be in addition to her learn to skate class.  \n\nPlease purchase her a pair of skates.  The rental skates are HORRIBLE....no support and they never sharpen the blades, making it difficult for the skaters to even hold an edge.  Skates can be expensive.....however, the 'Riedell' boot & blade can be purchaed for around $150.  You don't need an expensive boot & blade until the skater starts landing double jumps and requires a strong support to hold the edge.\n\nISI is lots of fun....competition events range from the traditional freeskate program to the "spotlight" where technical merit is not awarded and the more creative you can be as far as character, footwork, etc., you will do well.   \n\nISI's headquarters is in Dallas, TX.  She would need to join the ISI organization (around $15/yr) to become eligible to compete in ISI competition events.  The private lesson coach would test her ($5/test) so she can compete at that skill level.  The levels in ISI are Pre-alpha, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, Freeskate 1 through Freeskate10.\n\nISI is lots of fun, affordable and give your daughter the opportunity to see if she likes it or not.  Skating is NOT easy and the more your practice, the greater the improvement.  \n\nHave her practice initially on a public skating session (less $) and her private lesson to begin with can be conducted on that type of session.  If you are preparing for a competition and she is at the Delta level, then it's the right time to move to a freestyle session for practice/lessons.  \n\nIf you reside in the DFW area, I would be more than happy to speak with you in person.  \n\nThank you and I trust this was informative.\n\n\n\nI

Trophy Lalique \n\nParis, France \n13 - 16 November 1997\n\n \n\nLADIES \nPlace Skater Country SP FS \n1 Laetitia Hubert FRA 2 1 \n2 Tara Lipinski USA 1 2 \n3 Vanessa Gusmeroli FRA 5 3 \n4 Lu Chen CHN 4 4 \n5 Krisktina Czako HUN 3 6 \n6 Elena Ivanova RUS 6 5 \n7 Fanny Cagnard FRA 7 7 \n8 Eva-Maria Fitze GER 8 8 \n9 Jennifer Robinson CAN 10 9 \n10 Marta Andrade SPN 11 10 \n11 Hanae Yokoya JPN 9 11 \n\nNotes: \n\nLaetitia Huber pulled off a surprise vistory beating both World Champion Tara Lipinski and World Bronze medallist Vanessa Gusmeroli.  She skated a clean short and in the long she was fast and dynamic.  She landed five triples in the long.  Said Hubert, "It's encouraging, I'm working really hard now mentally.  This year we're showing that the old girls are still in it." (Huber is 23.)\n\nCompeting with a head cold, Tara Lipinski also landed five triple in the long, but she doubled a triple Lutz, and singled the second jump in her planned triple loop - triple loop copmbination.  Gusmeroli landed four triples, and fell on triple loop.  Lu Chen still has not regained her form of old, and without the full range of triple she once possesed could only manage a fourth place finish.\n\n \n\nMEN \nPlace Skater Country SP FS \n1 Alexei Yagudin RUS 2 1 \n2 Philippe Candeloro FRA 4 2 \n3 Igor Pashkevitch AZE 3 3 \n4 Todd Eldredge USA 1 5 \n5 Evgeny Pliuta UKR 7 4 \n6 Thierry Cerez FRA 5 6 \n7 Jeffrey Langdon CAN 6 7 \n8 Zhengxin Guo CHN 8 8 \n9 Frederic Dambier FRA 9 9 \n10 Selichi Suzuki JPN 11 10 \n  Michaeal Hopfes GER 10   \n\nNotes: \n\nAlexei Yagudin began his long program by landing triple Axel on two feet, but then went on to land six triple and a quad toe loop.  He completed quad toe, triple Axel - triple toe, double Lutz, triple flip - triple toe, triple Salchow and triple loop.\n\nAfter placing fourth in the short, Philippe Candeloro came back in the long skating his Napoleon program for the last time in competition.  Despite a few problems he showed that he is on the way back after last year's season beset by injury.  He landed triple Axel - triple toe, triple Lutz, triple loop, and triple toe.  A solo triple flip was not clean, he nearly fell on triple Axel, and touched a hand down on triple Salchow.   Despite these problems, it was an improvement over Nation's Cup and an encouraging program for his season.\n\nIgor Pashcevitch landed eight triples, but two of these were of poor quality, and he did not have a triple - triple combination.  He landed triple Axel - double toe, a double Lutz into triple toe sequence, and triple Salchow, flip, toe loop, and loop. A solo triple Axel and a solo triple Lutz were both done poorly with shaky landings.\n\nEldredge won the short program on a 5-2 split panel, landing triple Axel - triple toe, and triple Lutz; but had problems in the long.  He singled his opening triple Axel, then tried another and singled it again.  He landed triple Salchow - double toe, triple Lutz - triple toe, and triple loop for a total of four triples.  He also landed a double Axel and doubled a planned closing triple Salchow.  Speaking about the result, Eldredge's coach Richard Callaghan said, "It was a combination of pain and just missing training time between events."  (Eldredge suffered a dislocated shoulder at Skate America.).  Earlier Eldredge had said, "I'm only at 75% of where I would like to be."  Despite the poor result, Eldredge has sufficient points to guarantee making the series final.\n\nZhengxin Guoattempted two quad jumps.  He fell on the first and doubled the second.   Michael Hopfes pulled out after injuring his foot during practice the morning of the long program.\n\n \n\nPAIRS \nPlace Skater Country SP FS \n1 Bereznaia/Sikharulidze RUS 1 1 \n2 Woetzel/Steuer GER 2 2 \n3 Shen/Zhao CHN 3 3 \n4 Sargeant/Wirtz CAN 5 4 \n5 Abitbol/Bernadis FRA 4 5 \n6 Ina/Dungjen USA 6 6 \n7 Hartsell/Hartsell USA 8 7 \n8 Haddad/Prive FRA 7 8 \n9 Roger/Rolla

Almost every budding figure skater I’ve encountered doesn’t want to spend their time learning swivels, crossovers or turns. They want to jump! Who can blame them? Jumping makes you feel like an accomplished figure skater. The first jump learned by every figure skater is the most basic of them all, the waltz jump. Even in its simplicity, this half rotation jump can be a beautiful jump to watch and master and is often used as the cornerstone for mastering the most difficult of jumps, the axel.\nIn order for a jump to be successful, it has been said the most important aspect is the time spent on the ice two to three seconds before take-off. The waltz jump and axel are the only two jumps where the skater leaves the ice in a forward position. \n\n\nA waltz jump begins with a long glide on a right back outside edge (any edge stuff in website?). The right knee should be slightly bent, or soft, and the hips level. The left leg is pointed straight out behind the skating leg allowing the skater to keep their hips level to the ice. The skater then draws their left skate in behind the heel of the skating leg and steps forward onto a left forward outside edge. Leading with the left shoulder, the skater kicks the right leg up and through to begin the lift in the air. Because this is only a half rotation jump, the arms should be held away from the body. If the arms are held tight and close to the body, it will initiate more of a rotation in the air than necessary. In the air, the skater must transfer their weight from the left leg over to the right hip in preparation for landing. As with all jumps, the skater lands on a right back outside edge, knee soft, left leg extended, arms out, and chin high held proudly high.\nThe good news about the waltz jump is there is not much that can go wrong. If you want to ensure learning the axel is as painless as possible, it’s worth learning and executing the waltz jump correctly. There are several post jump analyses the skater can do to ensure the jump has been executed correctly. First, as with all jumps, spins and edge work, analyze the tracing made by the skating blade. Specific to the waltz jump, the right back outside edge, left forward outside edge and right back outside landing edge should form a continuous arc on the ice, interrupted only by the change in feet from back to front and the distance covered in the jump from take off to landing.\n\nAdditionally, the skater knows they are doing the jump correctly when they feel like they are floating suspended in the air, landing squarely and solidly over the right hip. Landing cleanly on a right back outside edge should allow the skater to maintain their speed and provide flow out of the jump.\n\nWhile gliding on a right back outside edge, the upper body should not be forced around by the edge. If this happens, there will be a tendency to pull your left side back and swing the right leg around the body instead of driving it up and through. Both arms need to drive forward and up, acting as a counter to the forces trying to make you pivot around the left leg.\n\nGreat jumpers are not great skaters. Conversely, sound stroking, footwork and spins all aid in a creating a great jumper. Excellent edge quality is essential for jump set ups and landings. Likewise, spinning is vital in achieving perfect vertical air position as well as tight rotations. In jumping, the skater must use their basic skills as a strong foundation for an impeccable jump. Breaking any jump down into small pieces using the skating technique they already possess will allow the skater to learn specific jumps properly and successfully.

Figure skating: because it's a perfect blend of athleticism and artistry. (At least when I'm watching it. Not so much when I'm doing it.)
