Hoping to make things easier, I brought her to the rink for some practice on Friday, before her class on Saturday. It didn't help. It was full public ice and every mother is using the opportunity to bring their kids to ice skating before school reopens. It was bloody crowded and that is like Lil Shauna's kryptonite. Zaky tagged along to skate too (bcos I am also *every mother*) and I think he did more skating than jiejie.
So when Saturday came, I was prepared to close 1 eye (or maybe 2 eyes is better) for lesser heartache. She had about 20 mins of practice time before class and was practicing on the easy spins and jumps. I told her to work on her camel spin and axle jump, guessing that would be what Coach Raymond would work on.
Was I right? Of course bcos Mummy knows best. Lol. What surprise me was that her camel spins were quite decent with a couple of times completing the 3 revolutions. Not bad, not bad.
We went back ice on Sunday for extra practice. The 1/3 ice was so empty at times.
Coach Raymond later texted that Lil Shauna had to prepare a music for her elementary test. That, I was caught by surprise. I had thought that the test was merely a test of the different required elements and didn't know that it had to be a routine to music. Lil Shauna better choose properly and this could be the same music/ routine for her next competition.
