Review/Comments:
This program was done very well! It was a real crowd pleaser, and displays how much Kristi has grown artistically. Amazingly, she has been able to keep one of the more difficult jumps, the Triple flip and made it her strength.

My score: 10!



Interview:

Question: "Do you think the audience picked up on the difficult triple flip?"
Kristi: "Well, if they read Figure Skating for Dummies, they might know the difference between a flip and a toe! Hopefully, it’s one of my stronger triple jumps, so why not put it in the program and add a little excitement?"
Question: "If the jumps don’t get the judges, the Elvis hips will!"
Kristi: "Uh, oh. It’s a fun number, there’s a lot of music, and of course, he’s known for those types of moves. I try a little bit."
Question: "You had a little trouble at the end with the triple toe, what happened?"
Kristi: "I think I was a little too excited through the whole number, and towards the ends I was losing my legs a little, so I wasn’t sure what was going to happen."
