Amongst lady skaters both Liashenko and Hubert have gone to 4 consecutive Olympics.

Didn't Hubert miss Lillehammer due to injury?

Thanks a lot, jiggs .

Gorgeous skating.

Yes, and these are not even her choreographically richest and most complex programs as far as exhibitions go.

 

[AxelAnnie]

Gorgeous. No doubt about it!

And finally a video from "The Ice" in Nagoya - Clair de Lune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibahJC_lRYU

An article recently published on IFS: https://www.ifsmagazine.com/carolina-kostner-different-perspective/

Still no official info on competition plans or programs.

That was beautiful! Other than Mao, Caro has the best edgework I have seen in a long time!

Thanks for sharing!

 

[AxelAnnie]

She is gorgeous and I've really missed her on ice

What an ethereal, breathtaking number. And what a radiant Carolyn.

Well, if this is her new SP then...

 

[cocotaffy]

I've just seen it and I'm in love with this. So modern and interesting. I hope this is her new SP, with more speed and stamina, oh my. Sorry for asking the obvious maybe but I don't follow singles so does she have any competition scheduled ?

 

[rosewood]

That's an intriguing program!

 

[Bellanca]

So good to see Carolina!

Like this program, a lot -- a little edgy and different. If it is Carolina's SP, I am excited to see the final product.

According to La Stampa (a major Italian newspaper) she has entered Golden Spin in Zagreb in December and Mishin is her coach:

Are there any Italian native speakers who can translate what else is written in the article? I don't think we have confirmation by her or her management and I wonder how reliable the information is? Thanks!

 

[AxelAnnie]

Will she skate at N
ationals....win and go to Worlds and Eurors?

I speak Italian actually..

Basically it says Kostner has chosen a Russian coach and will compete at Europeans. But before this she will compete on December 9 and 10 at Golden Spin for her official comeback the way that Yuna Kim did. This is the second phase of her career where she is expecting to train and go all the way to the Olympics in Pyeongchang in 2018.

I'm liking this!! Good luck to Carolina Cheering for her all the way!

Thank you so much! Can't wait to see her back on competitive ice!

It might have been posted already, but I was just writing a piece about the stunning band Ganes and found this:

I'm still rather surprised by her Mishin decision and I'm eager to see the result. He's so specific and deliberate in his jump teaching. He's managed to get technique down to a science. The thing is movement isn't always the same between people. You see the champions he's made but not the ones who have washed out. Carolina knows what she's doing though and so does Mr.mishin. He seems to be in love with his new student.

 

[VGThuy]

It seems like a mutually beneficial partnership as well. We all know what Mishin can teach her, and I bet many of his students love having her around. I could watch her glide all day and would love if some of that rubbed off on his students.

But I don't want to watch Carolina's glide with Mishin's choreo ! I hope Carolina can give him some good taste.

Don't worry. Carolina has worked with Lori Nichol a whole month
