I&#8217;m so happy right now!<\/p>\n<p>The day started like the other one, but we had the chance to sleep in a little longer.&nbsp; I decided to get up and have my hair an make up done before going down for breakfast.&nbsp; The bus driver decide to take a new road to get to the rink, so we saw a little more of Ostrava.<\/p>\n<p>Practice was good.&nbsp; We started slowly and Igor kept us on the ice until the end, so we had to run and catch the bus to go back to the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>After a nice shower, I met Anthony in the dining room and then I went back to my room and took my &#8220;power nap&#8221;. When I got up, it was time to get ready for our free dance.<\/p>\n<p>We took the bus at 6:30 pm. All teams from the last warm up were there with their coaches. Anthony and I are quite relaxed and we are talking and having fun with Igor!<\/p>\n<p>We arrive at the rink and the event was halfway through. I was surprised that there were a lot of people from Ostrava in the stands. Parents and other skaters from Team USA were there to support us and Lorraine and Quinn.&nbsp; That was great!<\/p>\n<p>  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>Warm up was good. We did our job, then the wait began. I think that drawing our skating order is not our strength and I don&#8217;t like to skate last!&nbsp; We skated well and I really enjoy doing this program. I just love to be on the ice and compete&#8230;.this is such a great feeling!&nbsp; I would do it all over again.<\/p>\n<p>Lorraine and Quinn came in third place.&nbsp; We came in fifth with a total score of 129.98 &#8211; not bad for a first JGP!<\/p>\n<p>We returned to the hotel.&nbsp; II&#8217;m so hungry right now, but I can&#8217;t eat. I don&#8217;t have my accreditation (yes, again)!!!&nbsp;&nbsp; Quinn brought it back from the rink where I had left it and I went for a nice well-deserved ice cream with my roommate, Lindsey.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2906\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/jgp-ostrava-blog-4-free-dance\/14jgpostrava-christina6\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/14jgpostrava-christina6.jpg?fit=374%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"374,450\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"14jgpostrava-christina6\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/14jgpostrava-christina6.jpg?fit=374%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2906\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000; margin: 15px;\" alt=\"14jgpostrava-christina6\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/14jgpostrava-christina6.jpg?resize=374%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"450\" width=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/14jgpostrava-christina6.jpg?w=374&amp;ssl=1 374w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/14jgpostrava-christina6.jpg?resize=249%2C300&amp;ssl=1 249w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/>&nbsp;&nbsp; <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2907\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/jgp-ostrava-blog-4-free-dance\/14jgpostrava-christina7\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/14jgpostrava-christina7.jpg?fit=496%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"496,450\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"14jgpostrava-christina7\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/14jgpostrava-christina7.jpg?fit=496%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2907\" style=\"margin: 15px; border: 1px solid #000000;\" alt=\"14jgpostrava-christina7\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/14jgpostrava-christina7.jpg?resize=496%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"450\" width=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/14jgpostrava-christina7.jpg?w=496&amp;ssl=1 496w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/14jgpostrava-christina7.jpg?resize=300%2C272&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Good night from Ostrava!!<\/p>\n<p>Christina<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know where to start.
