Long Program

After resting for a couple of hours, we started to get ready for our long program. Thankfully, there were no pudding spills this time and we were able to get by okay. We had a short off-ice before we left the hotel, warming our muscles up, and then left for the rink. After doing our regular warm up, we went through our program, put our lifts up, and did another program with just our faces.

Soon after, we left for the locker room to put on our dresses and skates. When we were all ready, we did our team cheer and the USA cheer. After the ice cut, we went to the side of the ice rink, took some deep breaths, turned our performance on, went out there and skated a nice program. We were happy with our performance and ended up in 10th after all 16 teams had skated

After skating, we watched the rest of the teams (and cheered on Starlights who got 9th!) and loved watching Nexxice, Paradise, and Team Unique. We went and saw our parents and watched the awards ceremonies then went back to the hotel for some yummy pastries, bread, cheese, and (for the parents) wine. Most of us were dead tired, but we stayed up until 4 in the morning (later for some of us...) talking, packing, showering, and just having a good time. The next day we would be leaving, so we were spending our last moments in France with our friends and looking back at all of the fun times we had.

We'd like to thank the people who have been so supportive of us. We really appreciate it! And we were so happy to hear that some of the families got together last saturday to watch us and support us at the Creme de la Crepe in Long Beach!
