Please please please let this season be Leona's season and please let the Japanese public love her and let her be invited to all the shows because I really don't want her to have to fundraise to go to the Olympics again. Yes, she needed fundraising for that, the Belgian federation is practically non-existent. Last year there were two ladies at the nationals. TWO IN TOTAL! Belgium has now three sports for worlds and probably no skaters other than Leona who have the minimum scores to qualify. The fact that she can come from a country with this little backing and not training in some fancy place abroad is just incredible and I really really hope to see stories like hers more often in the future.
I have a gut feeling Loena has always been this determined and now she finally has the opportunity for it to pay off. She came back to her second olympics stronger for a reason.
I am here for the Year of Shoma
It will be VERY interesting to see a seasoned champion (Shoma) against an up-and-coming super talent (Ilia).
I think Shoma will outskate him even if he can't outjump him. Also, I think he could outjump him. He has a tendency to put too much energy into the 3A and overrotate. I'm sure with his tiny body, he could transfer that to the 4A and the 5T.
But even without those things, Shoma is the better skater. TPC scores will definitely favor him.
I feel like Shoma, Junhwan and Ilia will definitely rule this season on the top
Can you somehow explain to the rest of us how tf the Russian court can just outright not reveal Kamila's drug test results? The US team and Japan team are not getting their medals and not to mention the insane mistreatment Kamila probably suffered at the hand of her coaches.
They can't reveal it because she's a protected person under Olympic laws. However, it's possible to know if the coaches receive any repercussions.
as a fanyu i definitely agree about kao miura, he really was a surprising highlight for me at skate america (his combination jump in the short was soo good)
Has everyone been looking at the juniors?
There are a lot of Japanese junior ladies to look out for. I don’t want to jinx her but I have high hopes for Mao Shimada.
The Japanese and Korean juniors girls are looking so strong! Especially Mao Shimada, Jia Shin and Hana Yoshida!
Great video! Now, we gotta wait for the Skate America review. Can't wait to see what Paola has to say about it! 🙂
The juniors this season (especially the junior grand prix) is also really exciting!
yesss I luv the juniors
Particularly ice dance with phoebe and James ,Nadia and Peter, and the Czech team
Malinin literally made history at Skate America. So I reckon he's the guy to be seen this season.
He lost to shoma and yuma before , is not all about the jumps , i think ilia is an amazing talent but he needs to Improve on his skating skills and other things! he is still young so lets see in the future!
Ekaterinas personality is wholesome. But I would love to see a darker villain programme from her though. Bedazzling those balloons on her dress would probably be a less of an eye sore. I’m just happy to see Poland being represented in Grand Prix (with a podium or 2 🤞🤞) especially after our ice dancers Natalia kaliszek and her partner retired.
@Miiu Ojamiesshe was 15 when she went to Poland whilst still a junior and started representing us in 2019 when she was 17
Im so sorry for Yuma I have a feeling he might end like Rika, a rising star stopped by an injury. I also saw Isabeau and for me there is a huge gap between her and people like Mariah especially in the jumps
so happy for shoma❤
Thanks so much for this update! I don't usually watch the CS, so it's nice to have a little recap!
Can't wait for the next video theres sooo much crazy stff to Talk about!!!!! Poor Akatyeva 🤡 and russians making an entire show about kamila (im really really sick of her😐), an SKATE AMERICA which in my opinion was so so fun to watch!!!!! And please, we need to talk about the gorgeous queeeen of my lifeee Amber glenn is 👑❤️...they were also amazing imo. So Happy to see crowded rinks with people yelling and clapping and being respectful🥰
Michal Březina: When your performance was so unfortunate, Paola can't even bring herself to talk about it. XD
Ilia is the Trusova of mens figure skating. They even have the same SP music lol.
YESSS SSHOMAAAAAAAAAA TIME TO SHINE ❤
Do you plan on making a video about Camilla and Sofiya? And the first stage of the Russian Grand Prix
Can you start talking about synchronized skating?
OMG YES as a synchronized skater i always feel left out because not many people talk/know about it
Please say you’ll discuss the Russian Grand Prix!
what do you think of kamila beating sofia? was it deserved?
@@clairen9848 I think that Kamila has reached another level of overscoring. I know that it was a domestic competition, but Sofia should have won
@@francescamartelletto9385 I agree. The judges appear to be bound to the narrative that she is unbeatable. I wonder if she will get back to her old level without the motivation of international competitions.
@@francescamartelletto9385 I agree. She scored 160... how can be possible. Even with a fall she scored 76 in psc. Her tecnique isn't better at all
LMFAO I love your comments about the Canadian skaters - Love your channel Paola
My girl Eva-Lotta got 3rd in Nebelhorn, I told you it was a great year for Estonians!
I was so happy to see her medaling 😊 I hope this season goes much better for her than the last
@@figureskatingmess Same! She switched up her skates too, obviously helped her a lot :D
Also rooting for the spicy Latvian Deniss, he killed it last season
@@0Tikrimoos0 she switched her skates? Boi she changed her coach isn't that the bigger thing?
@@0Tikrimoos0 I love Dennis! He is currently my favourite among the men. His musicality is wonderful! Are you from the Baltics?
@@Pikachu-kw4fv Well, yeah obviously that too, but these competitions she did here were more impacted by the skates I think..
But her moving to The Netherlands to train with a new coach since she has been with Anna so long must impact her skating more in the long run, nevertheless I wish her the best!
Another excellent *positive* review of what has been going on in figure skating. I appreciate you so much. In American we have zero coverage of the sport. I love it when you post. Thanks for your time and energy sharing this with us!
Can’t wait til you talk about Skate America!!🎉
Can you discuss Skate America and Russian Grand Prix? I’d love to hear your opinion
Great commentary! Love it!
Burn! LOL....Paola, as a Canadian I am still stinging from your comments on Roman and Keegan, BUT....I cannot disagree! LOL
YASSS GO FOR IT SHOMA ❤️❤️❤️ so happy for the others too, but I'm shoma biased lol
Love your videos. Tons of info and awesome clips.
the UP balloon girl is the figure skating verion of jo jo siwa 😂
Of course Tutberidze coaching team didn't show up for Morisi Kvitelashvili, they are banned, just like the judges and the skaters. So it's not that he's not worth showing up for lol
I miss you and i really really need one of your drama in FS chapter. Its the moment of my day❤️❤️❤️❤️
Exactly why I feel. Thank you for all
“Pepto-Bismol’ on a concrete sidewalk” I AM DYING 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Idk why you feel the need to hate on the Canadians so much. You don’t know half the story. For example, Roman had only started rehearsing that long again 2 weeks before the competition and he was skating on an injury.
I forget the Polish skater's name, but her blue outfit wasn't about being a kid, it's supposed to look like a waitress's uniform. Watch her Olympics program again. It's a narrative. I saw a story about a waitress who was caught up in some kind of fantasy which she had to step out of at the end. I'm telling you.
Not directly related to this video, but I'm hoping someone here can help me! I live in the USA and just found out yesterday that NBC/Peacock will not have ANY figure skating replays available this season!!!!!! Does anybody know where I can watch replays of the ISU Gran Prix events? TH-cam has some skates available for replay, but I'm looking for the full events, even if it's just a raw feed without commentary.
The ISU TH-cam channel does have the full events available for replay (e.g. their playlist for the Skate America men's event has the full SP + FS videos as well as some individual clips th-cam.com/play/PLuiPiC1Hk8eK5iv0tMhmLsdQxbSNY7WN1.html) but if you're in the US you'll need a VPN to be able to watch them
Peacock is no longer doing replays, live streams only. Try using the opera browser or a VPN to watch on the ISU channel. It is otherwise blocked because NBC has broadcast rights here. That is what I did for the Skate America events I misssd.
Can amateur and pro skaters compete in
the Japan Open? Sorry, I just don't know how
it works
.
I love Mirai Nagasu -- she's my Ride Or Die -- but she's
professional / retired so, I just wondered
Japan Open is he only competition as far as I know, where professional athletes compete, yes :)
Japan open is an invitational. So the japanese skating federation has to invite you for you to be able to compete. That is I think the only requirement
I miss Kagiyama but shoma's upper body is just butter!
Roman please change coaches you're such a beautiful skater with nice spins, nice choreos, nice performances and interpretation but the inconsistency in the jumps is killing you boy!!
I miss artistry in figure skating... Beautiful lines, performance, emotion... Hanyu was a combination of great jumps and beautiful artistry. Current skaters I feel like care more about how many jumps they can fit in a program, which I understand because they wanna win. But personally it's not as beautiful to watch as it used to be.
It really depends on the skater imo
@@Pikachu-kw4fv Do you know anyone? I'm seriously trying to find someone because I love the sport but I haven't found anyone with that combination of technique and artistry yet :/
@@daria5846 So I think the skating skills of most japanese skaters are great and a joy to watch. Just because their program is less focused on artistry doesn't mean the speed, controll, extention and emotions isn't there. The power kaori possesses gives me goosebumps every time and shoma can also skate beautifully. It's more powerfull and grounded than hanyu's effortless flowy elegance but that doesn't mean there is nothing. I also think pairs and ice dance have a lot of artistic value but I've never really followed ice dance and I kinda stopped watching pairs after Aliona and Bruno won olympic gold which is quite a while ago.
But for me lack or artistry means lack of skating skills. So a lot of people at the top still have artistry while some, like Eva-Lotta for example does her program a disservice by just focussing on the jumps while her program could be so amazing to watch
@@daria5846 Have you seen Minkyu Seo in Junior GP Czech Skate, Ostrava? At only 13 years old, I found him amazing
@@Pikachu-kw4fv I don't really follow ice dance either. I do know the japanese skaters, they're talented don't get me wrong, but not really my cup of tea/what I'm looking for sadly. The same thing happens in gymnastics. I think times are just changing and athletes are focusing on other things... thank you tho.
Have you seen Kurakova's exhibition gala? It's different than her usual programs but I think still in her style.
You said Mirai Nisagu when its Nigasu lol
any tips for how to watch comps in the usa i am struggling 😀
omg i always have thought this about kurakova!!!
I'm pretty new to all this so sorry if it's a dumb question but does anyone know where Higuchi is? Also all of the Chinese skaters aren't present...does anyone know why? I really love Xinyu Liu and Shiyue's rhythm skating.
I'd assume the Chinese are not participating because the Russians are banned?
Higuchi have stress fracture on the foot so she will not compete in the Grand Prix this season. Chinese aren't banned, a chinese junior skater compete in the jgp and the pair Peng/Jin will compete twice in gp.
@@giuliabaiardo5800 Ah, I see! Thank you so much!!
Yup, and Wang/Liu have 2 GP assignments as well
@@AF-ie5mk Oh that's fantastic!! Thank you so much for letting me know!
No worries, I'm really looking forward to seeing them skate too!
will you be covering the russian grand prix?
Anyone know where I can find a recording of the Japan open? I missed it live :((
Honestly I relate to Daniel Grassl, I also have a bad habit of jumping with my mouth open like that
6:15 i thought u said yuna kim at first lmaoo
LOL I so agree about Ilya’s costume:))))) that’s so messy thing:))) I am happy not see russians because of their unnecessary gossips, this year I feel so relaxed, without their dramas:))
In this clip Keegan looks like what I’d call a “hotdogger”. Throw a skill and see if the crowd liked it.😄
Haven’t followed Shoma much but did he get rid of the floop or has he given up doing the flip?
His jumping has improved greatly over the past year. He’s now jump training under Ghislan Briand in Switzerland and that seems to be stabilizing all his jumps. I don’t know if his flip has lost all evidence of the floop; you can see his most recent jumps on TH-cam in a Uno1 video. Or, better yet, you can watch him this weekend at Skate Canada. A flip is definitely in his program.
As a fan, I admire his tenacity and just plain hard work to improve his jumps; it took Eugenia Medvedeva 2 years of intense effort to change hers under Brian Orser, and I don’t know if Mao Asado ever accomplished that, even with years of trying. It’s really hard, if not nearly impossible, to get rid of incorrect muscle memory when you are an adult skater and have jumped the wrong way for years.
He's definitely intending to do it. Believe it or not, for all its wonkiness, the quad flip is his most consistent quad. He popped it at Japan Open but I guess we'll see what state it's in at Skate Canada this weekend. TBH, although I have seen some incremental improvements on that jump since his time working with Stéphane, I don't ever expect Shoma to fully fix his floop. I think it's way too late for that, but props to him that he keeps trying.
@@carolinea6769 fixing jumps is always a long journey as someome already mentioned. Maybe he can accomplish that
@@kathrynmogavero5680 fixing a wrong Lutz is was harder I guess, because of the counter turn. Medvedevas Lutz used to have a a deep inside egde and also including a full blade take off. When she switched to Orser, she actually improved her jump by having a proper toe pick, which is in my opinion a massive improvement. I hope she can reach the point of being able to take off with the outside edge.
Pao la! Did the ISU take you hostage? Where’s the new videos? Hope you’re doing ok. 💕
just posted !🤗
Dominican talking about FS....
How did that happen?
5:25 glad you brought this up, im really tired of people pretending his behavior in any way appropriate on normal just because he was michael jackson. every single one of them not making it up. even if people refuse to believe all of them atleast one is telling the truth and one is WAY too many
obviously you do not understand Michael's upbringing. if you didn't know Michael performed with his brothers (jackson 5) and his childhood pretty much consisted of playing at night clubs and not experiencing a normal childhood plus he had an abusive father who mocked his appearance. i understand why people may see his behaviour as weird and how it catalysed the allegations, but you really need to at least understand the root causes of his behaviour. I'm a Michael Jackson fan, yes the MJ fandom is crazy and radical in some ways, but I am well-informed about the allegations against Michael in 93' and 05'. If you do you homework and actually studied the 93' and 05' allegations, you will notice that all of the accusers were seeking a payout from Michael. Do you think that tells you something? And not one single accuser went to the police to ever report that their child has been molested by Michael. In my opinion, to stop listening to Michael Jackson because of the allegations is just cowardly. Michael's not here to defend himself anymore so I believe that you should just leave him alone and let him rest in peace. His music and artistry has left an ever-lasting legacy and obviously has an influence everywhere especially art. Let's appreciate the contributions Michael has made on society and refrain from making assumptions about him.
@@zozo0001 ive heard all about his childhood. You're not telling me anything new. I still stand by what I said. I've heard it all, he's guilty. Michael may not be here, but his victims are, and they have to live with what he did to them for the rest of their lives. They have to live with seeing everyone rush to his defence. Yes, he had absolutely amazing music, but he was a vile, manipulative, predatory human being. I don't see an issue with listening to his songs because like I said, they are amazing work, but to actually defend HIM as a person? No.
Pepto on concrete 😅😂
He should be. He is the moat talented male in the field. Kolyada just can't get it together. A few Japanese men coming close
Morisi isn't a bad skater, you just don't like him because he is from Eteri's team. For those who never saw him, I dare to check his performances during Beijing Olympics.
his quad toe technique is absolutely horrible
Can’t say he’s bad, but he is quite mid when you look at the top skaters in the field 😅
@@lindseysg his toe are like salcow, they are just the same. He at the Olympics jumped 4 quad Salcow in the free
eteri and the team probably cant enter europe at the moment, finnish border is closed thats why they werent in finland
i do not think Shoma is unbeatable at all, i think he is eminently beatable by many people.
Just boring without the Russians
Till Russian apologies and pays reparation to Ukraine, not interested watching anything Russia.
then don’t watch loser🤷♀️
@@freedomlife3623 i think the russian skaters are pretty contented with just competing in their country, so we should be too 😉
Наоборот, было скучно с российскими девушками - никакой интриги, грибы и завышенные компоненты. В итоге, первые места на пьедестале. Сейчас хоть видим более-менее чистый спорт. Остальные дисциплины от отстранения тем более не страдают. Разве что парное катание. А в мужском и танцах на льду все равно некому за пьедестал биться.
@@lespoirdeve согласна.
Can anyone of the ladys do quads? The programms are looking so boring with the same jumps .....
I only waiting for men competitions, with no rusian ladies and pairs the rest is zzzzzzzz,
awkward, rambling, not ready for prime time. poor editing and narration. you're in luck, nowhere to go but up. Peace
Huh?
SHOMA IS UN BEATABLE but he was just beaten :)
Mariah is fine, but she is nowhere near the caliber of what US female skaters used to be. I mean... Kristi Yamaguchi, Michelle Quann, Tara Lapinski, and yes I left Nancy out on purpose because she was always a mess and didn't deserve either medal. She wasn't even better than Tonya. Judges just lied for her.
