Olympic Figure Skating

My coach pats me on the back as I skate to the middle of the rink. The ice skate’s toe pick hits the frozen water and I suddenly stop. I stand in my first pose and wait for the music. Suddenly it starts the music is blaring, the crowd is also. My routine is flawless and my outfit is as sparkly as Michael Jackson’s glove. The routine is four minutes that was the requirement. It’s not like a regular routine because it is so upbeat. Some hip hop moves were incorporated into it also. The last beat of my song is a huge bang. The music sounds quick enough for me to do a Russian split jump in mid second and land in a flamingo position. The crowds as well as the judges give me a standing ovation. Roses are thrown. My coach runs out onto the ice to congratulate me. We both skate off the ice together and sit on a bench wile the judges tally my score. Unexpectedly the announcer comes on the loud speaker to announce my scores.
“Keep in mind that the judges can only give a score up to 6.0.” he said.

“Did I do well?” I asked my coach.

“You know you did wonderful, I have never run out onto the ice for a student before in my life.” My coach said with a smile on his face.

“And Ally Pfister’s scores are…” the announcer said.

“6.0” he said as I smiled.

“6.0” he said again as my smile got bigger.

“6.0” he said another time and I gave a tiny mouse scream.

“And the last score is……” the announcer yelled as the drum rolled

“6.0!” he screamed into the microphone, then I screamed, then my coach screamed, then the crowd screamed, some other contestants frowned.

Later I stepped onto the podium with the second and third place winners. The Olympic anthem played in the background. Last years winners came and put the medals around our necks and gave us each a bouquet of flowers. This is the best day of my life so far. I am speechless right now. The press is all around me. The words won’t even come out of my mouth. I am well I am ecstatic, overjoyed, and thrilled. The new life of Ally Pfister has begun here, today. I guess skating is my talent.
