She hates this image - I love it of course...

This is Cayley just about to launch into her first axel at WIM. The look on her face is everything..... remember she is moving backwards at about 25-30 mph. She has another one to do in her program, as well as a couple other types of jumps.

Till this event she had not landed a single axel in any competition - not one. It's a big point for a figure skater, no axel jump and your pretty much done.

And she was pretty nervous - very unusual for a kid who has been skating out to the middle of a big sheet of ice alone for years.

But we listened to one of her favorite bands (really loud) on the drive to the rink and afterwards she said she just played that music in her head. "Ready Steady Go!" are some of the few English words - sums it all up.

Oh, yea she aced 'em - ALL of 'em - you go girl!
