Michelle Kwan, on the other hand, was offered a rude introduction in her first competition judged under the new system. Kwan was marked down on her jumps, spins and stepwork and placed just fifth in her qualifying group, seventh overall. “It was not very good. It was not very good at all,” Kwan said after completing only three clean triples in her ‘Bolero' routine that looked completely different from the one she showed at the 2005 State Farm U.S. Figure Skating Championships. “I think I had too many things to think about and I wasn't pacing myself, quite frankly.” Kwan opened with a double Axel, but fell off the pace quickly when a planned triple flip-double toe-double loop became just a double flip. She recovered a bit with a triple Lutz-double toe combination and a good triple flip, then faltered again when she skidded on her double Salchow (intended as a triple). Her routine ended on a somber note when she badly two-footed her final jump, a triple toe. Despite her poor performance in the opening round of the competition, Kwan has no regrets about the way in which she has approached the new judging system. “One change is huge in skating,” Kwan said. “I don't look back. I made a choice and I feel good. A lot of people came in here with injuries. I am fine 100 percent. It just didn't happen.” 从最后一句看出她本人还是有信心的。 |
