Today is the big day. I have my short program. My music goes perfectly to my choreography. I am skating to " Once Upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty. I get out there to do my warm up and I can not get my double axel- triple toe! There are like so many people here and a lot of competitors. I have landed it now once but I really need this combination to start a good impression. The warm up is over and I skate 5th. All of the other girls have done pretty good, except this one girl from Japan. She fell on like every jump. Well It is my turn so I go out and strike my pose. My heart is pounding and I am really nervous. The music starts and I am skating easily to the music conquering ever single footwork pattern. I land my first triple toe just barely, and my triple lutz I have to step out of. I do a bower in to a inside spread eagle and spin from there. I do back camel and a death drop and more. Now here comes my difficult combination. I do a split jump, and I am gaining speed, I am doing back crossovers, hoping that I can land it. I start jumping. Something hits the ice. Was it my foot or my rear?
