You dont know how big it is for a true comp kid like crystal to be chosen for a competition like prix de laussane. The ballet world even today is still very biased against competition kids even when there are plenty of professionals with an extensive competition history already debuting in principal/soloist roles today. Comp kids are rarely represented in more prestigious ibcs (international ballet competition) and pdl. ITS A BIG DEAL. GET UP AND SHOW RESPECT TO OUR PRESIDENT. She's literally the only one on the list with a competition history that is extensive.

Izzy was the same case back in June, she was literally the only kid with an extensive comp history ( definitely less extensive than crystals though) at usa ibc which a comp that only happens every 4 years. She made it all tge way to the final 3 and got a an award from the jury.
