Dudette (that is the proper term for a girl). I’ve enjoyed listening to her interviews. Her family has done a good job of protecting her, and she’s very smart for age. I’m kind of envious she’s not representing the US. She’s said some awesome things about inspiring other girls.

@heywoodu this time Candy Jacobs couldn't make the final...she was "only" 11th in the semifinal heat (top 8 advancing)...

however, this time there was more Dutch girls reaching the semis of this week's event...Keet Oldenbeuving was 14th and Roos Zwetsloot was 16th (out of the 30 riders qualified for the semifinals)...

Lizzie Armanto competes for the again? She is listed as an American in the results rom Vans Park Series Paris and I believe XGames too. Olympic hopes are gone? Or maybe it's just a mistake?

No X Games had her listed as . She is most definitely representing . Vans Park probably just doesn’t care enough to change the graphics.

That was my first thought but they'd listed her as during earlier stops. But it probably is just a mistake if X Games listed her as Finnish.

the official worldskate olympic qualification ranking (after the last update, 15 days ago) still has Armanto as Finnish (and she's 3rd in the ranking, too)...
