2026 Worlds Womens FS PBP - La Vie En Drone

[Sally1214]

Really good skate by Lara. Like others have mentioned, I notice new "shark fin" things every time I see this program. Super creative program.

These women are all throwing the gauntlets.

Niina pays her respects to the shark!

I am loving the emergence of Lara Naki Gutmann. 4 years ago I thought of her as a poor man's Mikutina, but she has surpassed her in content and consistency without losing the weird. I still want her to work with someone to get the energy extend all the way to the ends of her fingers, but she's improved a ton in keeping the performance quality up for the whole program.

I hope her success this year does not mean more conventional programs next season!

Finally, Italy can send two women to worlds.

Love Niina doing shark biting motions with her arms that was great.

2 spots for Italy next season!

I started following her on Instagram at the beginning of the season and I haven't seen anything that indicates one way or the other. I do hope she sticks around for at least a little while longer. She has fun, unique programs that she performs well and she's been improving a fair amount and I would like to see that continue.

Totally agreed! She brings such a unique, totally cool perspective to skating that feel just so authentic to her, and I’d love to see more of that!

 

[Elisheba]

She did it!!! Hopefully next year's worlds we see her with Anna Pezzetta!

Or Joos.

The amount she improved from her Hitchock seasons into the Squid Game program last season was like seeing two different skaters it was so impressive. I always look forward to seeing what she's going to do.

Gubanova reminds me of Sydney Sweeney. She has Resting Smug Face that I try to ignore

I’m admiring Nina’s dress. It states, “I don’t need any bling, just a huge color pop and a gorgeous back shape”.

 

[PRlady]

She’s from Joisey not Philly, Mark!

Levito took all her bling

That’s why she always reminds me of Ashley. I tell myself it’s an unfair prejudice but I share your feeling.

Levito looking sold on warmup so far including 3F+2A and 3Lz+3Lo (twice)

 

[slicekw]

Amber’s team better calm her down backstage.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I’m admiring Nina’s dress. It states, “I don’t need any bling, just a huge color pop and a gorgeous back shape”.

Considering she is apparently portraying a shipwrecked girl about to drown, I guess the no bling is to ensure she stays afloat for the entire program.

 

[genevieve]

In my perfect World(s), this will end up Sakamoto-Glenn-Gutmann, but I will be thrilled if this is a well-skated final group

 

[Sally1214]

Now, I'm looking at the practically non-existent point differences between 3-6th place ... and then factoring in what Lara just did ... this is a real nail-biter!!

 

[flyingsit]

In my perfect World(s), this will end up Sakamoto-Glenn-Gutmann, but I will be thrilled if this is a well-skated final group

I would not want to watch the performances of this group that would lead to that result

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Gubanova is on the ice, and I am feeling how any happiness, hope and desire to live are leaving my body.

 

[genevieve]

That’s why she always reminds me of Ashley. I tell myself it’s an unfair prejudice but I share your feeling.

I can see that as well - a better comparison for me, I'll try to redirect my brain

I do love this dress. The front of it, anyway.

I do not love Ghost, the Musical

 

[Colonel Green]

Gubanova's loop entry is so odd. She does the entry turns, then straightens out fully, then does the jump.

 

[ilovesalchows]

I always think she missed a 3 loop after that set of 3 turns, and then step, turn, 3 loop.

 

[Wyliefan]

Singing along to lyrics is one thing, but mouthing along to voiceovers ...

 

[genevieve]

oh, lip-synching the voiceovers is a new level of hell

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

"Lyrical Snots" The Musical.

 

[Reuven]

The front of it, anyway.

Yeah, the back is just a bit too literal. She could recycle it for a Love Story skate. Skate gods you didn’t hear that.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Gubanova's loop entry is so odd. She does the entry turns, then straightens out fully, then does the jump.

I know she's been doing it for basically her whole career, but it startles me every time!
