Chapter 116 The new flat

She frowned. I took that as a good sign, as she didn’t refuse it straight away.

“Actually, your jumps are high and you can make a great distance. Warm up and show me what you can do.”

I smiled at her, then nodded.

“Don’t forget your pads, Alice.” She shouted after me, but I shook my head.

“I don’t need them.”

“Haven’t you leamed from before?” She asked me in disbelief.

“I just know myself. Pain will encourage me.”

She shrugged her shoulders, then she left me.

After warming up. I started the procedure just like before. I tried so hard, and even if I could do five rotations in the air, I couldn’t land on my feet. That made me even more frustrated. My butt hurt so badly, as I arrived on it most of the time. About an hour passed when Beth came to me.

“Alice, don’t be disappointed, please. Your jumps are good, and finally your technique is very good too. The only thing that you have to work on is your speed. You’ve got to work on your side muscles a lot, and you could jump a little higher. Il tell Gareth we must focus on it, but now you must stop. Okay?”

“I want to do it, Beth.” I panted, holding my waist.

“Not today, Alice. I don’t think it worth to torture yourself before you would work on your muscles. You just going to tire yourself and you won’t have the energy to practice your free program. There is no point in landing five quads in the gala if you are making mistakes and fall in your free program.

She put her palm on my shoulder and caressed it. I felt disappointed.

“If you succeed with it till the show, we can build it in the program, but please don’t be disappointed. I can confidently say that you are one of the best skaters, and 1 bet you’ll stand on the podium.”

I pursed my lips, and I nodded finally. Even if I disagreed with her, I understood I had to practice for the event if I wanted to earn the judges.

Actually, I felt better later. I did the entire program perfectly. I had to realise that I improved so much since Beth and Gareth trained me. There wasn’t an incorrect take off, and I landed all my jumps smoothly. My technique differed from before, but that helped me to get rid of any small, nearly invisible incorrect movements. Even my triple Axel was perfect, too. I loved to watch every video back that she recorded. We often checked my movements in slow motion, and when she smiled with no comments, I felt thrilled.

Beth made me promise I would rest after the training in the gym. I knew I wouldn’t, as Riccardo promised me, I could view a flat. I hoped he had time

to find me one.

The training with Gareth wasn’t easy. Beth surely contacted him, as he welcomed me with a broad smile, and he showed my new best friend to me. which was a well faar rubber band,
