Lovely to see after the struggles at US Nationals. The toe jumps are cautious, and a bit of a struggle, but the non-jump elements are all wonderful to watch.

Q 73.73 = 1st Place

 

[Lanie]

That was lovely

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Isabeau's jumps still feel like they're in the "going, going" phase of "going, going, gone," but I would love to be incorrect about that.

 

[Private Citizen]

Gorgeous program! So happy for Levito. Her body has changed a lot, and it's helping her skating skills as much as it may be hurting her jumps.

 

[PRlady]

Oh thank god. I didn’t realize how nervous I was for her. Not perfect but lovely.

 

[myhoneyhoney]

That was beautiful! Her dress is gorgeous and her music reminds me of a glorious Christmas morning.

 

[Karen-W]

Isabeau is a lovely skater but there's something very mumsy about her programs. And she';s only 17.

It's the hair and makeup. She really needs our ice dance women to take her under their wing.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Levito is stunning in person!

 

[peibeck]

Levito picked a good time to clean up her spins. Using her knees for better edges than in the past. Her speed is still not the greatest though. Big improvement over Nationals though.

 

[airgelaal]

Maybe just switch them...

What's the point? The edge wondering in both jumps

 

[Spikefan]

Awesome, now someone tranq that shouty man getting picked up on the mike- who hired him for commentary?

 

[Private Citizen]

Is it just me or has Isabeau grown since nationals?

Not just you. I was thinking the same thing. Her center of gravity looks different to me, too. I think puberty may have finally hit.

 

[Wyliefan]

Jump entries "pitch forward a LITTLE bit." Oh Mark, you are some diplomat.

 

[Sally1214]

ISABEAU!!! I'm so very happy for her!! Just wonderful.

 

[airgelaal]

WHAT???

 

[Frau Muller]

Isabeau was good - much superior to the Cobra on a Log SP!

OK - here in Peacock we can hear a very loud dude screaming “YAH!” Or “HOP HOP!” Whenever anyone lands. Gruffly. Ridiculous jerk.

 

[Carolla5501]

I'm watching the English feed but you can hear the French Canadian commentator Alain Goldberg in the background and he's way too excited LOL.

Well, maybe that’s what I could hear

It's the hair and makeup. She really needs our ice dance women to take her under their wing.

No matter what she did there be a group on here he could do it better because we just know a lot better than anybody associated with the skater.

 

[Wyliefan]

Bless her, she's so happy she got all her spins!

[TAHbKA]

Um.. I don't see how Levito was better than You. Or Lee.

 

[ilovesalchows]

I'm at a conference in Vegas and I can't get the stupid internet to work in the room. I am guessing the sportsbook is not interested in streaming this event.

 

[overedge]

This is extremely trivial but I'm gonna say it anyway: I wish Isabeau would put some mousse or something on her hair to hold down those wispy bits at the front. I keep thinking they're gonna blow into her eyes and throw her timing off.

 

[slicekw]

That was beautiful! Her dress is gorgeous and her music reminds me of a glorious Christmas morning.

Morricone is one of the greatest composers for films that ever lived. You should look him up on IMDB next time you’re looking for a movie to watch.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Soooooo. Be ready for my comment @Karen-W

 

[canbelto]

It's the hair and makeup. She really needs our ice dance women to take her under their wing.

Yeah, such a beautiful girl but she's kinda rocking a Mrs. Bates bun.

 

[overedge]

Loena's dress looks like an orange version of Jenny Kirk's Chicago dress.

 

[Belsornia]

Congratulations on your small medal Isabeau. It's good to see her happy after her struggles this season.

 

[Karen-W]

Small medal for Isabeau!!!!! She looks very relieved. And 3 spots is still within reach for the US women.

Thanks, I will!
