Ice Skating 209: Full Ice

It is another rare full ice lesson and just as I expected, the rink was crowded with many other advanced skaters. Reaping on the benefit of WFH, I was able to send Lil Shauna for class and worked at the rink. During the session, my boss called me and I wondered if he heard the background noise. Even if he did, he was kind enough not to ask. Haha. 

What's new? Nothing actually. Haha. Everytime I see those advance skaters zooming past, I am in awe. They had so much strength in their spins, jumps and even strokes but yet so graceful at the same time. In comparison, Lil Shauna is like slow motioning. Haha. 


After class, while rushing home, I was telling her again about the advance skaters. She insisted confidently that she was skating much faster than usual, if not as fast as the other skaters. Huh? I think her contact lenses are not working. Hohoho. Otherwise, one of us must be sleeping. Cannot be me, I was working and sipping my home made coffee. 

Fortunately, she said that she can now almost 100% land her axle jump after Coach corrected her. I hope the time that I happened to lift my head and saw her slipped after the axle jump is that 0.001%. Haha. She also said that Coach helped her with the double salchow jump and she now slips less; she saw it in Coach's video but has totally has no feeling that she is slipping, whether more or less. 

Lil Shauna will have her last lesson next week before stopping for the PSLE. Yes, we want no injury before the biggest exams of her 12 years of life. Fighting.
