What do you mean “move up to seniors”? As long as you pass the appropriate tests, you can compete as senior in the US. To do international, you need to be 15 by July 1st.

That’s exactly what I mean: competing as a senior in the US. There may be others who competed in junior nationals last season that want to compete in senior nationals this season.

I asked this question the other day. At Nationals the requirements are different which is why Alysa was able to be crowned champion at 13 but, she was unable to compete at Senior Worlds
But lindsey is, right? Can anyone please confirm or not it
Yes, she is.
Also, Champs Camp seems to be starting today/this weekend. I hope somebody manages to convince Mariah to change her SP.

I don't want to offend anyone, but for me Isabeau's dress, carriage, programs just scream Russian figure skating school.
Congratulations!
I said the same thing. It's not offensive at all to say she has the look of a Russian skater. I hope she considers it a compliment. I thought she looked like a young Evgenia Medvedeva

I don’t think anyone is offended if that is someone’s opinion; it’s not contrasting with another “school” as worse or inferior and certainly she is doing a wonderful job interpreting Russian music.
I think it depends on your background. For most Americans, Isabeau screams “Sasha Cohen”. Every time I see her, she channels Sasha C. more and more. Exquisite positions held long enough for the spectator to enjoy and respect. The spiral.
And that is no disrespect to Isabeau’s own abilities. But the resemblance is uncanny.

I agree. We all thought Sasha skated like a Russian Ballerina and that's a huge compliment. Remember when Dick said she had the best pointed toes in skating.I don’t think anyone is offended if that is someone’s opinion; it’s not contrasting with another “school” as worse or inferior and certainly she is doing a wonderful job interpreting Russian music.

Isabeau is just great. Especially that SP. I agree with the comment about the Russians comparison since they're getting the highest PCS. Her interpretation, transitions and musicality at 14 is really up there with the best of the Russians. I don't just mean Jrs.
After that first 3Lz in the FS which was supposed to have 2T/3T I didn't think in my wildest dreams she could do all 3 combos at the end with her technique. So steely.

Oh I'd add in the FS as well.

Certainly not offensive. All of her coaches are Russian and her favorite skater is Medvedeva
I think everyone agrees Isabeau has her own star quality, regardless of resemblance to others 
Congrats to her for a strong international debut! I really hope she can make the final.

Congrats to Isabeau on her win, she's a lovely skater with great performance ability. I too was reminded of some Russian skaters, but only because of how low she pikes her back on some of the toe jumps, combos, and landings. Hopefully as she gets older she'll get stronger and learn to jump more from her legs.
The way it works is that organisers give the possibility to ISU Members entering a skater to the competition to also nominate a judge.
The judge in question (if I understood who Tahuu means: the one sitting on that panel who has been suspended by ISU in the past) was nominated by one federation who entered a lady (and an ice dance couple in the ID event which was running on the same week in the same place).
Isabeau definitely brings some fresh air to US figure skating, even as a junior. I actually like the FP more, particularly from 3:30 all the way to the end: that's the Russian Dance I would expect. Hopefully she will also become stronger technically, to really challenge the Russian girls.
Congratulations!

I dont like the FS song but I dont think there's inherently anything wrong with it, its very typical for skating. Piper and Paul won a world medal with it last season. Its not creative or original from Mariah, but its not going offend people's ears like the short might.

I love Isabea!
Glorious skating, beautiful extension, musicality, grace beyond her years, and supreme balletic qualities. I hope she has a long and successful skating career. I love her and Lindsay Thorngren
Isabeau is coached by an all Russian team. The attention to detail just gives me chills!

I saw on Isabeau’s IG, that she is working on the Quad toe loop!
