Second try?

Last year I participated in a figure skating tournament called the 'Silver Skate Cup'. It was my first start after about 3-4 years of non competitive skating and while I still got the 3rd place, there was a lot of room for improvement.

During this 1 year time period, I almost doubled my training time, adding different kinds of trainings, such as gymnastics, more jump training and even choreography, which helped me add 3.5 points to my overall result.

This competition started off with an early morning and an awesome support group of my friends and family. As I cheered on my fellow skaters, the tension began to grow with the eagerness to get it over with. Although when i entered the ice arena all of it was gone, and the only thing left was the physical aspect as well the joy of performing.

An extract from my performance at this tournament

Overall my skating was not the best out of all of my previous ones, but it was way better than one year ago. Therefore, I consider it a success and am satisfied with my achievement, even though there still is space for advancement.
