That last spin looked really weird.

I think she almost slid off her blade, so good save!

In other news I've just discovered my fridge wasn't closed properly, there goes my fish for dinner D:

Nicole Rajicova

Solid 2A+3T to open. Strong 3F with good flow out. 3Lz+2T landed (3Lz likely < and called <). Good speed through the flying camel spin (Level 4). Gentle edging and smooth change of positions through teh choreo sequence. Stronger second 3Lz (might be < and also called <). Clean 3Lo+2T+2Lo and another 3Lo. Nice low and centered sit spin in the combo spin (Level 4). Fine 2A to end the jumps. Good agility through the step sequence with fast movements (Level 3). A bit of a bobble in the camel spin entry in the last spin (Level 2V).

Another competent performance for Nicole here. She was able to keep up with the tempo of the music choices, both the silence of the first half and the accelerated second half. Shame on the under-rotations on the 3Lz and the shakiness on the last spin. But apart from that, a pleasant, well-rehearsed program. She could have more speed and more projection, but she has a calm elegance about her that is nice to watch.

Yes. Her name is Tara Wikipedia Lipinski after all.

LOL, maybe she has the wikipedia page open in front of her.

Keep an ear out for her speaking [numeric citations] aloud.

Nice dress Isadora.

 

[CellarDweller]

go for it Isadora!

 

[SpiffySpiders]

That was really pretty and I'm happy for her but I guess I'm just not into pretty skating. It was good, just not my thing.

 

[Fruit Loops]

Go Brasil!!

I like the Slovakian's dress. Really pretty. I love the blue and sparkly numbers.

My stream is so behind, lol. I wonder if BBC put skating on yet...
edit: yes! I can watch on TV now wooo

BBC is showing this live now? How is the commentary?

 

[100yen]

Come on Isadora, as Johnny Weir would say, "Sell it like the rent is due tomorrow and you haven't gotten your paycheck"!!!!

 

[fleeting]

Dang, Isadora's really gotten her use out of this dress! She's had it since ~2012

 

[OS]

Baby Kim's Mirai music program is still the best


OOoooo Isadora, you look neontastic!!!

 

[Metis]

Finally, personality!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Gooo Isadora!!

 

[loop9497]

Does anyone believe Tara really has followed the career of Rajicova enough to comment on her progress?

Well, I know her and Johnny have spoken of studying up on all the skaters (Johnny said Tara is more of a stickler for it than he is, that she is the one pushing that they need to really focus on it). Maybe she remembered some competitive stats of Nicole's? IDK. She did skate on the grand prix circuit so maybe she has sort of kept up with her.
