2023 Nebelhorn Trophy - Women SP & FS

[Karen-W]

Team Levito should also take notes from Team Repond about tasteful costumes that would look great on Isabeau.

Nice program good skate for Kimmy

Minchae Kim’s FS music as listed in her ISU bio:
Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-Flat Major, Op. 83: II. Allegro appassionato & III. Andante by Johannes Brahms

Kimmy Repond’s FS music is listed as Freya by Christian Reindl but pretty sure that wasn’t it just now!

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - Kimmy has to be her own flower sweeper!

 

[PRlady]

That’s enough to medal. She really is a determined, focused skater. I still want to feed her a nice brisket.

 

[swissskate]

Kids are no longer picking up gifts and flowers off the ice, the skaters need to do that?

Nice reaction, surprised and happy! Silver for Kimmy.

3 Swiss girls among top 5, well done

 

[Marta24]

Aww, Kimmy is so happy. Nice score! Maybe she has a chance to become Euros Champion this year? Or at least to medal again.

 

[Karen-W]

Aww, Kimmy is so happy. Nice score! Maybe she has a chance to become Euros Champion this year? Or at least to medal again.

Definitely - that score is 9 points higher than Gubanova's score at Lombardia.

Loena?

 

[Marta24]

Loena?

Well, I love her, but girl is inconsistent.

 

[swissskate]

Loena?

Who?

 

[Private Citizen]

Good judging to have Repond ahead of Levito in the free skate. It's a wake-up call that she must up her tech content.

Levito lost levels on all three spins and got a v on one of them - should be easy fixes for someone who's as strong a spinner as she is. Plus a q on the salchow and a < on the loop.

What’s a V?

 

[BlueRidge]

Never mind imagined far away futures, Isabeau needs to do better than today to beat the Japanese and Koreans this season. This was a good start and she's got good programs. Go Isabeau!

 

[Frau Muller]

Where is @Frau Muller this morning? Missing Isabeau!

Absolutely a dream, despite one fall and raggedy dress. Levito makes my skating dreams come true!

God Bless the USA…and Switzerland, too! My two faves in top two positions.

I knew you were loving it!

 

[Private Citizen]

What’s a V?

It means one of the basic requirements of the spin was not met, and the base value is reduced (kinda like for a flutz).

 

[Karen-W]

Loena?

Oh, I wasn't discounting her, but since she hasn't made her season debut yet, it's hard to know how her skating (and her combos especially) are looking.

 

[Wyliefan]

3 Swiss girls among top 5, well done

With another one (Brandenburg) wowing 'em in Budapest!

 

[jenny12]

Isabeau is lovely but her skating skills and jumps still need quite a bit of work.

 

[euterpe]

Isabeau's FS costume is atrocious! That, plus a granny hairdo, has transformed a beautiful young girl into a dowdy matron.

Compared to the SP costume, with snake hand, the FS dress is a masterpiece.

 

[Rukia]

Ok so I finally watched Levito's free program. I don't think it's terrible, but I do think it suffers from a few issues. The first is that, as many have said, the costume has too much fabric. Like I felt weighed down watching it. That's fairly fixable though.

That being said, I find that they are presenting her as ballet-like, but there's no flow. At the very beginning I was struck at how very posey it was as opposed to flowing through each position to the next. That can be worked on, but who knows if they'll decide it's worth their time. And of course you all know how I feel about her jumps, although I think they looked better in the free than in the short.

I think with usfs top dog pcs backing she's not beatable by anyone else in the us, but if all things were even there are several women I think are even with her.
