The Ice Princess is a Ranked U.S.A. Figure Skater!

I won’t tell you the ranking of our Ice Princess in the world of US figure skating, because it was a mistake. The Ice Princess became a Novice skater in the fall by passing all the necessary exams. Yay to her! However, her mother recorded her as an Intermediate Skater (the next step according to the US Woman’s Figure Skating organization) by accident at a competition. What was she thinking??? Our princess did so well, I’m proud to say. Anyway, the rankings came out and there she was holding her own among the country’s top skaters all by accident. It means nothing right now.

That's pretty cool whether by accident or not! I'm sure your family is very proud of her. I don't even know how to ice skate! I love watching the competitions on TV though. I just don't know how they do it!

Thanks, Sue! I love watching her skate. Year by year she is learning how to do what we see on TV. She practices twice a day and does online schooling right at the rink. Lots of hard work over and over and over again.

Good deal! She deserves whatever she gets due to her hard work. She is really getting to be a big girl, a young woman really.

@DianneN Ha, well you can be proud of her as I am sure you are. Try to make sure she always has a heart for those less fortunate, as I am sure you do.

@snowy22315 Oh, she and her brother are both involved with helping the less fortunate. They have been involved since they were 3 years old. Their parents made sure of that.

It`s ok. Even it was a mistake. I`m sure she`s good to have an opportunity to be part of the US figure skating. Skating is not easy as we can see it is. I tried to balance and fell down most of the time

@kobesbuddy Her mother made a mistake with putting her in a more advanced group. The ratings were right. The IP is only a novice skater, not an intermediate saketer, yet did very well given the wrong group. If she was rated as a novice, she would have placed higher, but they don't rank novices.

Thanks so much! Those ratings were pretty high for a Novice skater skating as an Intermediate.
