Montclair, NJ – Montclair High School freshman Lindsay Thorngren always puts her left skate on first, then her right.
She read somewhere that Olympic medalist and two-time World Champion figure skater Nathan Chen does that – so she adopted the same ritual.
So far, it’s working well. Thorngren recently returned from her debut in the senior level of the 2021 Toyota U.S. Figure Skating Championships with a sixth-place finish. The event was held at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas on Thursday Jan. 14 – 15.
