2026 World Figure Skating Championships | Women's Short Program

[Karoltyna]

Yes, I know she is great skater, at least part of me knows, the other part goes numb out of boredom. I wish she skated a program that is a little bit more personal or at least emotionally connected.

 

[auser]

Lovely and confident skate from Isabeau.

 

[momrk]

Sometimes I wish you would change your style, but then again she does what suits her and her skills

combo and spins under review

both lutz and loop looked ur

 

[elektra blue]

The classic Ice Princess persona fits her, but she needs a bit more... speed? Energy? Something

if she has to stay in the 60s i hope she sticks with Sophia and skates to mambo italiano

Now be ready to get thrilled.

 

[momrk]

Her jumps, while still work in progress and do look better than a couple of years ago

 

[elektra blue]

dear judges, sollicitor Poet is ready to sue you all, behave

 

[Arriba627]

Glad to see Isabeau has made some improvement in leaning forward when jumping. Oof, that 3Lz-3Lo hurt my hip.

Well, that was a LOT better from Isabeau LEVITO (USA) than the last time we saw her.

Well, her SP was good then. It was the FS that was the problem.

She is wearing a gorgeous red dress, and skating to a couple of songs by Sophia Loren.

She goes into the lead.

well my 60s idea isn't bad, Rosmary's Baby and the Omen

Miyazaki Karin (who I have watched during JNats season) is, again to me, another Kinoshita girl with all the Kinoshita characteristics, which will deservedly get her points but not my heart. Come to think about it that's what I felt for Chiba Mone during her junior year also, another Kinoshita girl with very strong skating skills.

So sorry for continuing the OT, just want to correct a little here that Karin is an MF Academy skater, not Kinoshita

Also IIRC Mone Chiba trained in Sendai during her junior years, and only moved to Kinoshita in 2023.

 

[momrk]

Wow, nice score for Isabeau! Better than I expected.

 

[flanker]

Trying to catch both worlds and Spartakiada now. Isa delivered nice, congrats.

 

[lileychristie]

YES Lara got her triple lutz!! A bit tight but we take it!

 

[Heather T]

I don’t know if anyone has commented on this before but the camera work at the end of the skates is upsetting my stomach!!

 

[Mista Ekko]

Too bad Lara lost that Lutz GOE, maybe still final group though?

 

[Karoltyna]

well my 60s idea isn't bad, Rosmary's Baby and the Omen

but that would need doing some emoting

That was fantastic from Lara!I love this program so much and she was skating with so much confidence and ease compared to at the Olympics. The lutz was a bit tight, and she has a significant BV disadvantage compared to the other skaters in these last few groups, but she deserves to get very high PCS for this program, and she is always so enjoyable to watch.
