@MsNes83 Really! Did not know that this was in Denver. But I like to hear DM say something, because she had (has) a nice voice. "Altitude", indeed!

[MsNes83]

altitude = denver, co, the "mile high" city. was just there and actually surprised how much i felt the altitude even walking up stairs!

I still don't know why she kept that triple twist. I've never actually seen her complete it in any competition that she competed with it.

@MissLilRedRooster Yes, she did have problems with it, but she was able to complete the rotation. Look at the 1998 Goodwill Games and Women's Pro Championships Finals (this was the best I've seen her do it). I think she kept it in 97 because she really needed the increased difficulty level to do well.

Did she say "altitude" at around 2:19 ? (So breathless at the time!) I'll say she gained altitude during the routine; not bad for one who was not in peak condition.
