Oh... it's been a while since I listened to Abel's soundtrack. Nice choice.

Pop.

Interesting to pair Ryuichi Sakamoto with this.... AND A CARTWHEEL???? HERE???? TO THIS MUSIC????? BLASPHEMY.

 

[rabidline]

No carrot farming but cacti farming I fear...

I really enjoyed watching the qualities in Lara's skating. If only jumps were better...

Lara is so lovely to watch despite the mistakes.

(I'm annoyed that my stream kept freezing during her performance.)

 

[Sabsi]

Lara, super start and then some unfortunate pops. Love her program and her dress!

 

[EdgeCall]

What a pity. Lara's graceful movements are so charming and she has already proven how versatile she is regarding the music. I hope she gets stable with the jumps soon, she would be so awesome.

Anyway, beautiful performance.

Not the most exciting program from Lara, but the non-popped jumps looked airy and clean.

I'm sorry I just can't get over the CARTWHEEL done at the beautiful beginning of The Sheltering Sky. LIKE WHAT WAS THE REASON????? IS THERE NO OTHER DIFFICULT SPIN FEATURE???? WHOOO THOUGHT OF THIS?????????

Lara is always interesting. She does seem to be sacrificing to the Queen of pops rather than Satoko UR Queen. But, that was a pretty good skate for her.

 

[FlossieH]

Yes there were some mistakes which will be costly, but it's nice to see Lara in better form. It was sad watching her struggle so much last season.

 

[rabidline]

Lara is really a beautiful skater though and needs to fire whoever advised her to do the cartwheel immediately. IMMEDIATELY!!!!

 

[Jeanie19]

Lara. Beautiful blue dress. Really nice program. Good skate and cartwheel.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Yeeess!!! I remember her green dress and hairnet, it was a wonderful sight during the pandemic to see her photos from the local competitions.

This photo was the pinnacle of beauty

mama loves you too

"Step sequence... an area she can look to build.." very honest, Chris, I appreciate it. But her basic skating overall is really quite lovely.

 

[Vemvane]

Lara is always enjoyable to watch skate, particularly as I never know what sort of music she is going to pick. She clearly likes her tanos, they seem to be the most common arm position she has when jumping. The spin to cartwheel was an unexpected transition - as was the twizzle (?) into her camel spin. Such a pretty dress; the colour suits her.

Maybe Lara? I think she likes things that are unique or weird. This program is not my favorite of hers, but it is still not boring.
