He was In uniform Friday but wont get his first start until the Feb 18 game with program it proved to be I had to do a cautious shod program which probably hurt me he said Thats because when youre in first you know if you miss an element youre in trouble You cant go all out In the long program Kemp attempted a triple nip but wasnt able to land it Kemp had Introduced the triple at tho Divisional meet for the first time and did so successfully I was he only one to try it Kemp said You cant take those sort of things out of your program If you hold back its sort of like No guts No glory You more by taking those type of chances With the championship being a national event there were many distractions present For example media personnel from across the country were present and CTV the long programs on the weekend Kemp said he was able to keep his concentration throughout the com pet I was trying to achieve my goal which was the podium getting a medal he said I knew ahead It would be
