2024 CS Nebelhorn Trophy Women's FS

[Ichatdelune]

So... I think I could've enjoyed solo ice dancer Isabeau Levito, but since she jumps... the dress is okay, a solid B+ if you ask me. Good skate nevertheless

 

[labgoat]

She looks happy and relieved

...what do her dressmakers have against her? All of her dresses seem so dull and heavy. Maybe the colour is better in-person but I think a bright spring green would be far nicer than this pea-soup colour. I want to love the program, but it's not quite clicking yet (for me, at least). I wish she could just jump 3Los the whole program, the transitions in and out of that jump were spectacular. Obviously a great skate, the spins are gorgeous, flips and lutzes not as much, landing positions exquisite - we all know the drill by now.

The secret to loving Isabeau is to blink when she she does combo jumps... The rest is just so beautiful

well... i would extend this to every time her toe pick meets the ice... the edge jumps are ok.

 

[elektra blue]

well done, Isabeau, now let's find a different dress

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Well done, Isabeau - That was very solid! That said, I found the program snoozy and generic. She has so many lovely qualities, but the jumps (save for the 2A) are such a blight on the program. Her body is nearly parallel to the ice before she takes off.

 

[YuBluByMe]

I just can’t get into Levito’s skating. The program is just sleep-inducing and that Euler!

 

[Ichatdelune]

PS... i do not like liebestraum.... such a garbage piece of music... i refuse to teach it lol

What did Liszt do to you to make you hate it so much?

 

[Karoltyna]

Probably unpopular opinion: boring, nice spirals, boring, ina bauer, boring, don't look at jumps

 

[Isk]

Love Dreams and not in purple! This color scheme associates in my brain with Benediction de dieu dans la solitude played by Claudio Arrau video on YouTube, wonder if she is a fan of that too.
Very nice choreo. Last group ladies decided to go for classics. Starting from Hana Yoshida things feel like a breath of fresh air after a long and tediuos morning.

What did Liszt do to you to make you hate it so much?

it's more about what he didn't do... i played a lot of it... and found it shallow and empty...

 

[labgoat]

Well new seasons best, did not crack 200 either

 

[norwegianfairytale]

No, that shouldn´t really go ahead of Hana

 

[saine]

Go Sara-Maude!

 

[labgoat]

No, that shouldn´t really go ahead of Hana

She did better in SP, so the math is right

 

[Azikin]

Isabeau was great today!

 

[elektra blue]

now this is a dress i apreciate

 

[Sabsi]

Bigger score than Hana

 

[labgoat]

The power girls are all wearing dark green this year - Sara-Maude and Sarah Everhardt

Judges obviously really enjoy Isabeau's style of jump otherwise they would not give the GOE.
