| Miami Senior Varsity Synchronized Skating Team |
After being here for a few days and getting a couple of
great practices under our belts, everyone seemed all settled in and ready to
compete. This morning we skated our short program official practice after just
a short debacle with the bus not picking us from the hotel to take us to the
rink. However, once we all finally trickled over and arrived at the rink, it
was time to get to work. We skated a solid official practice and felt that we
were more than ready to compete that night.

Before we knew it, we were heading back over to the rink and
taking a few minutes to warm up. I personally had an amazing time warming up
next to Team Boomerang from Sweden and getting to see some of my good friends
who skate for them. I make no exaggeration when I say that those girls have a
ton of spirit and really know how to make some noise!

Stepping on the ice, I think I can speak for my whole team
when I say that we got chills when they announced us as “Miami University
representing the United Skates of America”, but we quickly snapped right back
to reality and took on our fierce character as we skated to our warm-up block.
Taking a deep breath, hitting our pose, waiting a few beats, and then finally
making our first movement as one, I knew that this was going to be a great
skate. Right now we are sitting in 2nd place behind the reigning
World Champions, Team Surprise of Sweden, and could not be happier or more
ready to compete our long program tomorrow!

Congratulations to all of Team USA on amazing performances
today! I am so excited to continue to show the world what USA can do tomorrow!
Det var allt för nu (That’s all for now),
