There are very few skaters today who interpret the music the way Isabeau does. Simply stunning! Every nuance of the music choreographed so beautifully.
May favorite moment is at the beginning of the choreo sequence, when she grabs her right leg extended to the side and then, while on an outside edge, slowly moves the extended leg to the back to create a spiral. And she takes her time in doing it. So beautiful. Thanks.
What a remarkable skater Isabeau is she literally radiates such grace and elegance in her movements that how can anyone not be impressed. She is representing the USA 🇺🇸 amazingly! 🫶🏼👏🏼😃🎉
I loved her first axel. It was so, for a lack of a better word, pretty!! I wish her the best of health for a great season ahead. Such a beautiful and talented skater.
She has straightened up her jumps a bit, so hopefully she will keep improving. I love watching her skate and wish she had a new coach that would help her with her jumping technique.
We all don't walk alike, her uniqueness and quality is so loved by the audience. If we all walked the same then we should all skate the same, so that was never the plan.
As someone who has watched every ladies competitive free skate for 31 years, I only can recall a few standout skaters in that time. I’ve seen plenty of wonderful jumps from so many skaters, I cannot recall all their names. What Isabeau has, it cannot be taught, it’s a rarity that we don’t see much of in skating anymore. This is a skater who doesn’t need ‘perfect jumps’ to create such soulful magic.
I disagree. I don't think she is a natural. Her posture as she transitions across the ice is bent forward; ungraceful. Her jumps (as you noticed) are far from perfect. Her speed and energy are lacking. She would not medal if the Russian girls were competing.
My Lord she brings the love of Figure skating to the world...pure creativity to keep our attention. Great Program where we all can relate to. I love her footwork more and more too, great edge quality.🥰
I just don't understand her component scores relative to other skaters. She is remarkable. So elegant and effortless. She lands jumps as if she weighs no more than a feather. I love her Lutz enterance - it looks like a Loop enterence.
In this particular program you can see the improvement of her jumps. All jumps were completed and the landings were absolutely clean. I want to say she reminds me of...but she doesn't. Her style is classical, elegant, lyrical and unique. She skates with a mature sense of self. I can't wait to see how the international judges will score her elegant skating against the quad squad.
Not only does Isabeau have good skating skills, she also has beautiful lines and moves like a dancer. Her jump take offs are what they are, but the rest is exquisite. @@Bnizzofashizzo
@@elisabethanderson7124 ummm… I know you really really really believe that but you’re incorrect. Her small jumps are just the start of her problem. She hits good position sometimes but at best it is Nas level Skating skills. Not remotely. Sorry for telling you the truth.
@@BnizzofashizzoYeah, your completely wrong. Her skating skills, power and Lines are her strongest features. She’s skates super fast(when she’s not jumping), her edges are crisp and clear in and out of all those difficult one foot turns and her jumps are high despite the lack of speed due to her amazingly deep knees.
@@Bnizzofashizzo Not sure if you yourself are skating on the sr. circuit or possibly an ISU judge? or what qualifies you to be so critical. I think Isabeau performed beautifully and she is still so young. Her opportunities to improve are endless. Great start for the young lady, though!
She has a great foundation. I would like to see more speed and power. I don’t understand why she slows down for so many take offs. She’s definitely worked on her posture and positioning. I would like to see more connections of her to the music. Music is kind of blah.
She is not :( she is retired and says in interviews that she plans to stay that way. JO requires that each team include one retired skater so she was N. America's.
I don't know how she's first after the short program after putting half the audience to sleep, she should have lost in program components score. Amber rightly took the "gold medal" off her neck. Good luck tomorrow #1 badass skate chick (Amber)
@@kenmoreSF it's figure skating, which is a sport. You mention ballet like it's easy. Go do it, if it's so easy. Do you think scratch spins and rapid footwork sequences are easy? Jumping isn't the hardest part of the sport. Especially when athletes have to be starved and drugged to complete the jumps. Russia knows all about that..
Kolyadas interpretation was not in competition so I can say he's my favourite!!! But he's years older and male.love this young lady U can't forget her.beautiful 💗🙏💐😊
Yes, she's the best the US has & she is lively but her jumps scare me a bit. The Russians will eventually be back - in force. She needs to win her prizes now.
She is decent, but stiff. Lack of flexibility in her knees, her jumps are not high enough, she wouldn't make it anywhere close to the top 10 of Russian skaters.
I just wish she would stop emulating the Russian style of skating costume and gloves. It’s not a great look and she is so above it. Ditch the gloves, at least!
@@BnizzofashizzoWow another one CZcams "expert" 😂. All three ladies you mentioned have good enough ss. Better do something productive and stop criticize people who try to give their best.
SHE is lovely elegant and beautiful however nobody here is mentioning her biggest weakness and fault she is incredibly SLOW she is crawling into her jumps she is VERY VERY cautious and careful before and after her jumps YES 100 percent she is lovely however she is incredibly slow!!!!!

Imo she is the best female skater that the United States has seen in a long time. She is a ballerina on ice. Truly magical.
No quads, not even a tripple axel - she is FAR from the best! She wont even make 4th place against the Russians and Japanese
Disagree, it's Alysa
There are very few skaters today who interpret the music the way Isabeau does. Simply stunning! Every nuance of the music choreographed so beautifully.
Beautiful. Once she increases her speed and jump execution, she’ll be golden.
Isabeau is developing so beautifully into the complete skater, a superb balance of technical brilliance and scintillating artistry. Brava !!!

So elegant and fluid. Beautiful.
Beautiful, Isabau, so soft skating, listening to the music and taking time to make elements. Lovely
Seamless. Delicate. Beautiful.
She performed magnificently the splendid program which matches the music ! ❤❤❤
Beautiful ❤
Beautiful, so elegant 💓
Beautiful!
I see definite improvements with her jumps!
Stunning. She's quite amazing. Reminds of the Russian skaters but with an intimacy all her own.
She has straightened up her jumps a bit, so hopefully she will keep improving. I love watching her skate and wish she had a new coach that would help her with her jumping technique.

She just has that star quality, doesn't she?
Thanks for uploading this!
What an angel! Exquisite.
Потрясающая! Завораживающее катание!

@@bill9989you're wrong..but we'll see in time
@valmacclinchy This "grace" thing with Isabeau is nothing other than infatuation. Are people charmed by her name?
@@bill9989 maybe that's how you judge skaters? 🤔
@@valmacclinchy No.

if her lutz and loop look similar that is not a good thing
her components are fantastic but her jump technique is a little weird
A lutz isn't meant to look like a loop... i think you're also misunderstanding what component scores are.
Браво!!! Очень нежно и красиво! 🎉❤

Wunderschöner Schwan ! 🦢🥰 🥰
Weiter so ♥️♥️♥️
👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The choreography was tepid and unimaginative.
My favorite skater to watch in the women’s field. Love you, Isabeau!
She is fast becoming my very favorite female skater!
Прекрасная, нежная, артистичная Лебёдушка❤!
Gorgeous.
Dulce ❤
Beautiful performance. Is it me or has she gotten much taller?
Me gustaría que fuera tan emotivo como el de Kolyada, esa música siempre me recordará su hermoso programa
This is what I call skating. Wow.
Then you like athletes with awful skating skills, no power and bad body lines

Great skater and i like the program, hope in a mid season costume change, it looks a bit heavy on her.
I thought exactly the same about this costume. It looks like it weighs her down.
🦋🦋 Same thoughts here! Too much costume.
She has a great foundation. I would like to see more speed and power. I don’t understand why she slows down for so many take offs. She’s definitely worked on her posture and positioning. I would like to see more connections of her to the music. Music is kind of blah.
I really dont like the extreme forward bend on jump takeoff
она очень красивая и харизматичная!❤️

Is Mariah Bell back to competing?
She is not :( she is retired and says in interviews that she plans to stay that way. JO requires that each team include one retired skater so she was N. America's.
I don't know how she's first after the short program after putting half the audience to sleep, she should have lost in program components score. Amber rightly took the "gold medal" off her neck.
Good luck tomorrow #1 badass skate chick (Amber)
Does anyone know the name of the song she is skating to?
@lily-hd9cg ISU has it listed as "Yarning by Raul Ferrando" here www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00111287.htm
@@fangirlforever449thanks!
is any U.S women training 3A or quad jumps at all or this is as far as they'll go?
It's called figure skating. It's not a jump contest.
@@valmacclinchy actually, it's a sport and not ballet or Disney on Ice. The Russians actually got the memo and apparently the US did not.
Yes, Mia Kalin. She has landed many clean quad toe loops in combination and has also landed clean quad sals in practice. She is 15.

@@valmacclinchy footwork is insanely difficult. I agree. Last time I checked, it's also called Ice Dancing, massive footwork.
Her current habit for toe jumps might give her troubles in the future.
Lovely as ever but for my money Kolyada's interpretation of this piece of music is definitive.
What is the name of the song?
@@Lily-hd9cg it's the music from a film called 'White Crow' about Nureyev.
Kolyadas interpretation was not in competition so I can say he's my favourite!!! But he's years older and male.love this young lady U can't forget her.beautiful 💗🙏💐😊
Her skating is very smooth and gentle, her posture is great, but why are skaters using music that is so boring now?
No quads, not even a tripple axel ... The russians will wipe the ice with her.
Yes, she's the best the US has & she is lively but her jumps scare me a bit. The Russians will eventually be back - in force. She needs to win her prizes now.
The skating is beautiful, but very weak. There are a lot of unfinished ones. No speed.
😆
won't pass 2nd division at Ufa23
It will became her Masterpiece program 💯👌☄️
Nice program, although her costume seems to be swallowing her. Its distracting for me personally. Maybe a little editing needed.
White excellence! W
There are too many costume embellishments to perform this piece.
Make it simpler!
why she skating so slowly？？
Her jumping skills are so bad. She bents her knees too much when she jumps - her body is almost horizontal when she took off
She is decent, but stiff. Lack of flexibility in her knees, her jumps are not high enough, she wouldn't make it anywhere close to the top 10 of Russian skaters.
Not as good as Angel Boy
I just wish she would stop emulating the Russian style of skating costume and gloves. It’s not a great look and she is so above it. Ditch the gloves, at least!
She has Russian couches..And Russian school they have... She can't change style. For this she must change couches...For what?
Her skating ability( doesn’t have it) is about on par with Alina or Evgenia.
@@Bnizzofashizzo She has better posture than them.
I love the gloves! And it may help her keep warm.
@@BnizzofashizzoWow another one CZcams "expert" 😂. All three ladies you mentioned have good enough ss. Better do something productive and stop criticize people who try to give their best.

very boring

I think you're overexaggerating. People who've actually seen her live say she's actually not that slow. Sure, she's not Kaori fast, but who is?
