2023 World Figure Skating Championships Women's Free Skate

[Lamente Ariane]

Should be behind Loena IMO

Isabeau is a beautifful skaters. She has all.

Nope no medal for IL unless someone above falters. Won't beat Loena's score based on PCS.

In situations like this, Isabeau's inexperience is very obvious. She doesn't have the presence of mind yet to add a combination onto another jump (not even a +2T on the first 3F for example), and it's not the first time either she's not gone for a third combo after she didn't manage to tack one onto the first Lutz.

Isabeau is truly charming, so elegant and graceful, and gifted with natural performance quality. She really does finish every movement down to the tips of her fingers. Such grit to come back from a fall on the opening jump and to deliver the programme to such a high standard, despite the disappointment and the pressure. She has done so well at her first senior Worlds.

Go Mai!!! No more 4th place

The USA will lose their 3 spots unless Yelim steamrolls the last three with mini zambonis

 

[Mariiiiskate]

So did America loose a spot after all?

 

[rollerblade]

Did Isabeau forget 1 combo completely? Its a shame, after the 3lz fall she did very well that missing combo will hurt her

She didn't improvise from her planned content after the botched opening planned jump of 3z+3L. She even stuck to her solo 3T.

Isabeau--she wanted that first jump too badly. but I've never seen her skate better after that fall. She really didn't let a single point get away, the levels on everything, the GOE, she skated with a joy and lightness after that fall. Hate to see her so sad afterwards tho.

 

[yelyoh]

Mai!!!!!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww Isabeau, it's OK! You've got a lovely future in store, I'm sure.

Hee I'll never not be tickled pink by the appearance of the Japanese flags.

Goo Mai!

Prays to the figure skating gods..

Yeah I think Isabeau winning was their only shot at keeping 3

 

[nickp91]

SILENCE! FAIRY MAI IS SKATING!!!!

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Not bad for Isabeau's worlds debut. No medal, but she'll be a seeded skater for the GP next season.

I think she needs to get away from that coaching environment, I have a very bad feeling about that.

Okay prayers and clean landings for Mai
