Axels, Loops, and Spins: Junior Grand Prix Austria Rewind

I hope I'm doing this link right to give credit where it's due. I saw the winning dance team at Graz's free dancebto Beetlejuice. I loved this program; it's creative and fun. It greatly builds my anticipation for Davis and White's "Amelie" free dance. I think it will have a similar spirit since they have the same coaching staff. what lovely twiddles this team has; it inspires me for practicing those twiddles.

ISU JGP Graz Men's Free Skate and Final

Wow, Han Yan must have skated lights out to move from 5th to 1st. When was the last time China had a competitive male skater? Richard Dornbush also moved up to finish fourth.
