Lee Barkell Quotations

I think the important thing tonight was that his technical mark was quite high. It's nice to see a balance. Obviously, he's very musical and creative, but it was nice to see the technical side out.

I think he definitely has a future in this sport. The next step is going to be to get the triple Axel, which he can rotate but which he hasn't landed yet.

It's the complexity of the turns, the changes of the direction, and the body and how well it's skated and how effortless he makes it look. The one thing about his skating is that you rarely ever hear him.

The biggest thing we've worked on is trying to increase his speed, power and consistency.
