KID SPOTLIGHT

December 2004

Rachel Hoang

Age: 7

Home club: Skating Club of Boston

Skating level: No test

Coach: Mark Mitchell and Peter Johansson

Favorite skaters: I love my big sister Lambsey because she is the best skater to me! I also like Sasha Cohen because she feels her music and she's very pretty with beautiful spirals.

How often I skate: I skate three to four times a week

How I got started: I started skating when I was 2 1/2, then I got my coaches when I was 6.

Favorite jumps/moves: I love all of my jumps. I can't wait to learn the Axel. I also love my spiral because it makes me feel like a butterfly.

Favorite skating moment: My favorite skating moment was when I competed in interpretation at our club competition. It was my first competition and it was so much fun.

Goals: I want to land my Lutz and get my camel spins perfect.

What I love about skating: I love my coaches, skating at my club with all my friends, and I especially love competing. Also, I do jumps, spins and everything better when the music is on. I feel every beat of the music -- it makes me so happy.

What else you should know about me:I have a little brother who skates with me sometimes. I love to write stories, read, draw, sing and dance. I want to become an artist and a figure skating coach someday.
