[Jay42]

Good for Isabeau! Especially after how hard this season has been for her

 

[Badams]

Oh, Isabeau. I can breathe now. So beautiful.

An elegant, and sophisticated performance. Not the speed, or power but she did what she could do to claim a place on the podium.

138.43 = 2nd Place
212.16 = 2nd Place

Her jump entrances are such a struggle, but I hope that (and the SP) makes her feel a lot better after US Nationals.

 

[TAHbKA]

Levito was 0.4 above Kaori in the SP. Think Kaori stays first

 

[quartz]

I love the way she holds her face at the end like she can’t believe this is her life!

 

[tony]

I don't even care if they go to town on her scores, I'm so happy for her. And she's really turning into a stunning young woman.

 

[slicekw]

God it’s so good when the top skaters all skate beautifully. I hope this keeps going!

 

[Karen-W]

Absolutely gorgeous from Isabeau!!!!!!! I'm tearing up for her! That was just... Magnificent! She's done her part to get that 3rd spot back - and she did it soooooo beautifully.

 

[Kaz7714]

Good on Isabeau for holding it together. I hated every single jump but heck....great stuff.
Very elegant and so happy for her

 

[Aussie Willy]

Well done to Isabeau. Very nice skate.

 

[Wyliefan]

Say what you want about jump entrances, that was so gorgeous and so impressive. The way she held it together under such pressure and after the season she's had -- MASSIVE respect.

 

[canbelto]

Isabeau's face is just so beautiful. Her bone structure is amazing.

 

[airgelaal]

And ! as always

 

[Theatregirl1122]

The score will be what it will be, but that is a skate she can be proud of. I'm so happy for her to have that moment!

I hope she gets a medal.

 

[peibeck]

Isabeau can't believe she did it. I can't either considering she was skating so slowly. But good for her. American lady may medal, and after the skate Sakamoto laid down, is quite the feat.

 

[thvu]

I don't even care if they go to town on her scores, I'm so happy for her. And she's really turning into a stunning young woman.

She really started changing my mind with the snake SP and I'm still so annoyed she ditched it.

 

[JoannaLouise]

While Isabeau really slows down going into her jumps, the rest of her skating isn't slow at all (except for maybe the final step sequence). I thought she did a really good job of filling the ice surface.

 

[myhoneyhoney]

Isabeau has won me over. I love her skating.

 

[Frau Muller]

ISABEAU MAGNIFICENT to gorgeous White Crow!

 

[Spikefan]

Good for her after Nationals, I didn’t feel safe about it until the very end though.

 

[Citlali]

Isabeau has everything I love in a skater, elegant and musical, beautiful spins... but her jumps

 

[tony]

I still don't get how she manages to do the flip on an outside edge and the Lutz on an inside edge, at least that's what it looks like with her wobbly edges as she goes up.

 

[Carolla5501]

Isn’t this the same skater that some of you said after nationals would never land another jump again because her technique was so bad?

I think I’ll just ignore some of this.

 

[Rukia]

everything outside her jumps is really beautiful

 

[Sally1214]

ISABEAU!!! Way to bring it, girl!

Standing O #2!

 

[Lara]

Just so happy that she’s happy and ended the season on this note. Beautiful job.

Her combo is ugly but the points are there

 

[overedge]

When a skater has to work that hard with their upper body to get the jump going.....at US Nats I remember FSUers saying that she's outgrown how she initially learned the jumps, and I think that's really showing now.

 

[Matryeshka]

Isabeau will never be my favorite skater but I'm really happy for her and she just looked like she was enjoying the moment so much, you can't not want her to medal after that.
