my lower back just snapped. I am not sure if it's all the swimming from yesterday or watching that Combo

I want to borrow Isas dress for a Christmas party

I think Chaeyeon was injured at the start of the season?

Still recovering from the car accident, I think.

 

[Paulipau]

Clean and elegant as always, but she had better programs.

Isabeau really has a nice dress. I usually don't like her costumes because they are too much.. but this one is pretty and her loop was good.

SP: 73.37 (2nd)

I love Isabeau's skating but I despise the second piece of music she uses, I wish she stayed with the first piece only. It is a miracle the French crowd did not revolt at the absolute murder of their culture with that song. The combo technique looks wonky still but everything else is beautiful, that camel spin was incredible and she has such neat lines. She's such a charismatic performer as well, it'll be interesting to see where she ends up in comparison to Rion.

Does Isabeau have a Cinema Paradiso in both programs? She is very elegant and appealing, so when she skates, I kinda don't mind her jumps, but they do look ugly in warm-up. It's last year's SP, side view.

Isabeau delivered, really enjoyed her performance.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Flips are cursed today. Though, to be fair, this was much better than I expected after her Challenger skates. I think she's on her way back, and really, she'll have to peak at the selection competition(s).

She said she injured her ankle (before Nepela) and there's also the lasting effects of her traffic accident which still seems to hurt her back (case in point, she took out her half Biellemann). Please let her back and ankle all be healthy before Ranking/Nationals...

Well done Isabeau

 

[GGFan]

Isabeau isn't breaking any new ground with this program but the red is stunning as is her attention to detail. Great start to her grand prix season.

 

[ManyCairns]

Isabeau -- delightful!!

 

[EdgeCall]

... and stylish skate, too! Naive as the program is, she did a wonderful job on it.

 

[Ziotic]

She needs lipstick to match her dress.

Generically lovely? I don’t know what it is but Isabeau just doesn’t do it for me.

 

[FlossieH]

Nice skate from Levito. I don't think that will oust Ami Nakai, though.

 

[Arigato]

Doobie doo. Doobie doobie doobie doo. Doobie doobie doobie doooooooooooooooooo.

Bingo and back snapping

 

[celiabiche]

Isabeau!! maybe im crazy but it feels like her technique is slightly better than last season. Her back is less "—"
