What is this Schindler's list with vocals

 

[labgoat]

22 Stefania YAKOVLEVA CYP skates to Schindler's List operatic vocals in ash black with sparkles. 3LZ with twizzles to cover loss of balance. Review on jump combo. Strong espressive performer.

I don't think Yo has done 3T+3T much before this season, she's done mostly 3Lz+3T (can't do that for obvious reasons this season) and she was training for a 3F+3T during the off-season, but they didn't stick to that plan after she got edge calls on her Flip at Kinoshita Trophy.

IIrc, she just started jumping 3Lz3T last season
Prior to that 3T3T was her staple

 

[EdgeCall]

Nice skate, but that music cover is a sacrilege.

What is this Schindler's list with vocals

and sparkles?

 

[elektra blue]

What is this Schindler's list with vocals

and it sounds like Lara Fabian...

 

[hermine17]

I thought Stefania skated her heart out.

 

[anonymoose_au]

What are those shoes her coach is wearing

 

[EdgeCall]

Mao!!!

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Mao-sama Ganba!!!

 

[hermine17]

And now Mao!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Arrrr! My hearties!

Mao S is here!

And apparently isn't a pirate after all...

 

[4everchan]

Mao is such a special skater. And that is my call for a few hours of sleep

take care all.

PS I think the costume is perfect for this program.

 

[skim1001]

Slay Mao! Slay in your polarizing outfit . Kudos for trying something different.

23 Mao SHIMADA JPN skates to Americano by Lady Gaga performed by Judy Kang, Karl Hugo in the previously indicated black jumpsuit, white blouse and pink trim choreography by Lori Nichol and Kaitlyn Weaver. She does a nice 2A and clean 3F-3T very well and a great 3LZ. She has the crowd in her hand. She seems to love this program and ends with an amazing Y spin. Fantastic skate.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Mao is in great shape
Her 2A was so big she struggled to control that landing

Idk what to feel about this short, maybe it will grow in me as the season progresses.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

IIrc, she just started jumping 3Lz3T last season
Prior to that 3T3T was her staple

She was definitely already doing 3Lz+3T towards the end/middle of 2021/22, maybe she did 3T+3T in the first half of that season? Prior to that she was skating in Novices and not doing any 3-3s if I remember right.
