It's just good to know she was capable of doing them. It would have been awesome to see her land that kind of combo just once in competition, but oh well. It was hard not to have unreasonably high expectations of Michelle, and when she started to fall behind other skaters in difficulty, it was kind of discouraging. She is still my all-time favorite skater by far.
I suppose it depends on what you want to see. Most people consider raw power to be the most important thing in jumps. Jumps can always be big no matter what kind of music you are skating to and they will always look good.
@sergioayala You're kidding, right? That triple lutz was tilted in the air, she barely had any flow coming out of it, and the triple loop was two-footed and cheated...
You're actually right about the Charlotte here. She didn't hold the position. She did better later in the season. Scheherezade was not my favorite program of hers. I liked her choreography and music choices from her earlier years more, especially Lyra Angelica.
Love the costume.

She didn't do well, but it really wasn't her fault. She was going through a growth spurt as all athletes do.

I agree.

Does anyone have the Skate Canada practice vid? I'd love to see her land this, even if it was in practice.

i didnt know she did triple lutz triple loop before. hm....
@sergioayala Good joke. What a Kwan stan...
Actually, it was a horrible 3z/3l attempt. The Loop was incredibly underrotated. It didn't get much further around than a double loop...
