If you really look closely, parts of this routine actually weren't that clean, but good lord this girl is amazing. I can see why she won, because there's no way anyone, whether they had a cleaner show or not, could have beat her in '01. I've watched this video like five million times.
@twirlaholic1983 Its said to be the most difficult routine performed by a women to date. she may have had some slip ups on her rolls, and her feet may look messy in the video, but she is wearing dance sneakers, she is doing half the routine on point.I had the pleasure of witnessing this freestyle at the Canadian Trials that year. It was inspiring thats for sure.
Aww :( Do you know why? Is baton twirling very tolling on the body (many injuries or physical strain)? Everything she does is graceful and seems extremely difficult...
she practices everyday so although her coaches help i mean her natural talent just gets her so far. She was my inspiration for my freestlye this year. Love her!
Holy crap! Im only in my second year of Twirling and im already doing advanced twirls! But someday i'd really like a coach and be able to do twirls like this someday!
Oh, thank you thank you thank you!!!! Do you know if he still coaches? I mean, I'd pay for him. I know the talent is hers, but the teacher helps it grow.
Both Dale White and Mark Nash still actively coach other twirlers. Dale White is also a highly respected judge in both Baton Twirling and in Winter Guard.
Wow, you are so fantastic. I'm sorry, but I still have one more question for you: Do you know how and if I can contact them? I'm sorry for all the questions, but you're a huge help. Thank you so much!
Hmm, does anyone know if the spin double illusion at the end was supposed to be a spin TRIPLE illusion? It just seems to me that she waited a little too long for the baton and maybe the baton went too much to the left so she changed her mind (and also caught it with her left hand)? Well, it just a theory. :)
Yes, it was supposed to be a spin triple at the end of her program. Let's not forget her other triple element trick--the walkover, front aerial, walkover that she completed in middle of the program.
oh an cougarnrs just so you know...you should try out because twirling is for everyone of all shapes sizes and abilities. it never hurts to at least try out because you get better with practice and eveyrone knows that so if ur good right away you can only get better on the team. being pretty has nothing to do with it =)
ong i wish i could do that i hopefully will be good enough to make my majoette team at school only i am just now learning to twirl and tryouts are this sprilng i really want to but do all you guys think i should because normally majorettes are pretty and im not so should I ???? please comment on my comment so i know if i should
OF COURSE YOU SHOULD!!!! honestly it doesn't matter how pretty you are it's about how well you twirl! if you have enough determination it won't matter, i've been twirling for like 20 years and it's not the pretty girls who are respected it's the ACTUALLY TALENTED people!!! you are judged on your twirling and determination not prettiness! so definately try out ok???
I'd give anything to be that good. She's amazing. I'm a 2nd year twirler.... and I'm good enough that I made the feature twirler try outs at my school.. (I'm feature twirler.. yay).. but Hollie is my hero. Gosh.. how does a person attain that much skill?
I was in Paris when Hollie did this performance, was my first time at the World Championships and i was truly gobsmacked, she is excellent!! And such a nice girl too!!
I have been a twirler basically all my life and fancy myself as pretty darn good, but NEVER have I seen anything like this, especially from someone so young. She's amazing.
Absolutley amazing, WOW!, that was truly the sport of Twirling, and even to think she is CANADIAN, yes! 1 of the best Canadian Twirlers I have see, congrats on your achievement, ~Go Canada Go~
Unfortuanally this was the style back in the early 2000s. But what a great twirler america needs too take notes lol.
