The Warm Up

Jordan was well rested and excited to compete Saturday morning for final rounds. The video clip is her warm up during the competition. Five skaters at a time receive a 5 minute warmup, Jordan was the second skater in this warmup. I enjoy watching the warmups...you see the skaters determination and how they interact with their coaches. Sometimes skaters have a terrific warmup and then skate poorly. I have also seen many awful warmups, skaters getting off the ice frustrated and very tense waiting for their turn to skate and then pull it all together and skate a terrific program. Jordan had a great warmup and I still couldn't believe how relaxed, focused and in control she was during this competition.

Below is a video clip of her double lutz, double loop, double toe jump.
