It's about sucking in the difficult moments of pain, frustration, doubt, exhaustion and nerves and experiencing the moment of accomplishment!!! She has trained all year for that moment and she did it Saturday morning! Jordan peaked at the exact time and saved her best performance for the final round at Junior Nationals. Her smiles gave me goose bumps while she skated because she knew she was in control of this program. She wasn't the best skater out there but she was the best Jordan King had to offer. Of course she didn't want to experience her injury the past few months or change her program but I believe it made this final round even more special for her. As Nancy Kerrigan commented on Jordan's program, "She skated a nice clean program!"
After she skated, she was greeted by the camera man from Icenetwork.
Jordan waited in the "Kiss and Cry" for her scores.
While she was waiting for the scores, the ice sweepers gave her the Qualifying Crab
and other stuffed animals thrown on the ice.
She was so happy with her performance!
She received 50.25 and came in 14th for her freeskate.
Those scores are added to her short program 27.15, which gave her an overall score of 77.40.
She finished 15th in the nation!
