Ilia's 3Lz+3A+3T in the long program was insane..... To throw out a combo like that in the second half after popping 2 jumps and falling on his 4A is wild. The kid reeks of athleticism and his mental strength is amazing. His mom was an amazing jumper, I can definitely see where he gets it from.
I heard he improvised this jump when doing the program, indeed.
Not really when you compare her to the russians
😂😂
@@jarmilaolajcova7652 ilia has better jump technique than all of the russian girls combined. don’t even start

"Jason Brown might as well be the sun itself." BINGO! So well said. Jason is the bright center of the figure skating universe.
He truly is. I absolutely adore Jason.
Someone who can follow in Jason Brown’s footsteps is Lucas Broussard, who won the US Junior Men (and JGPF!). He cares a lot about the artistic aspects of figure skating. 😊
Isabeau reminds me of alysa, like she will have a good 2 seasons but then her body and injuries will catch up to her. She’s only 15
I hope no injuries - she’s not trying triple axels and quads while she is growing. And Alyssa really grew too. I *really* hope Isabeau lasts a growth spurt - they can speed her up and jump higher I hope
A bright artistic skater in Men's although still a Junior is Lucas Brossard. Line, extension, interpretation, grace he has it all & a super light 4T.
If he stays healthy he is a future star ⭐️ great all rounder
i got to see him skate live at the Grand Prix Final and when i first saw him in practice i was immediately impressed. i do hope he keeps this great artistic quality!!
Over rated
I'm so proud of the Amber. I have watched her skate since she was a little girl. She always tried so hard to fit in and do whatever she thought the judges wanted from her. Whatever and whoever the skating world expected her to be. Now she has embraced who she truly is. She has come out, and she is finally herself out on the ice. And herself is completely fabulous. Her skating is now so authentic . And that authenticity is what gives her confidence. She just pulls you in and wears her emotions on her sleeve out there. Love love for skating now. I'm so proud of her.
I do like Isabeau. She seems like a sweet girl and she's get some really great qualities (ex: performance, footwork, spins, etc.), but I think her jumps will be a problem. That technique she uses is very concerning. I really do wonder if she will able to jump after she reaches puberty (presumably by next season).
Also, very concerned about her with who her coach is and what she has said in interviews (ex: being an Eteri worshipper (despite the evidence of child abuse) that thinks Russians should all be allowed to compete even with their issues of doping, and saying how "she knows Isabeau more than her own mother does").
Unfortunately, Isa has also said some questionable things abt restrictive eating. That could also take her out of the game fast.
@@goeticfolklore Yeah. I remember her saying "I will survive puberty by putting less butter on toast." I hope her coach doesn't take a page out of Eteri's book and weigh her/encourage her to starve herself.
Big red flags for sure.
@@lyramusica4485 It's almost unavoidable in the industry in some ways honestly. I only made it to Freestyle 1 as a skater (simple single jumps) and overheard my own coach telling a recreational student that was seven she couldn't do her program because "she ate pancakes for breakfast..." Definitely sad and has impacted many skaters, gymnasts, dancers, etc both recreationally and professionally.
@@lyramusica4485 it's not etiri's style tbh. Extreme weight restriction is everywhere in sports like these, gymnastics, figure skating, ballet. It was the case back in the days too, it's just that maintaining minimum weight cannot sustain the higher technical jumps anymore. And they're trying to make it resulting in more injuries.
Jason was absolutely lovely in his comeback! This SP was on another level artistically, musically and emotionally! 🥲🥰 I hope he will do great in four continents, he even has a chance of taking a medal since Shoma won’t to be there!
Jason isn't competing at four continents this year
@@Oliver-ms2gc oh no, I just assumed since he was top 3 :'(
Jason Brown is a once in a generation skater 💖
She is an amazing little girl but she deserves a coach who will teach her the right jumps shes pre-rotating so much it reminds me of Sofya Akatyeva someone needs to do something about it its sad.
Yeah, I want her to last long in this sport because she is so charismatic and musically talented🥰 but her technique is worrying me 😰
Isabeau has perfect artistry for me and her spins also 💖she reminds me of Anna Shcherbakova but I have to be honest, i don't like her technique on all her jumps except her 2A, i don't think her technique is sustainable, but I'd love to watch her in he future seasons 💖💖
can u explain her jump technique and like what's wrong with it? I'm watching her and she looks great but I can't pinpoint the issue w her jumps :o
@@maya-ed9or her technique is quiet similar to Anna, they usually call it a muscled jump, if you watch her keenly, she has a long preparation on her jumps, her body leans too much and relies much on her body weight to execute the jump and not on good toepicking technique and speed (for example, Sofia Akatieva or Veronika Zhilina ) although her air position is good, its my opinion though, I think its just gives her a higher risk of an injury
@@LB-zw8yu ohh thank u
I really love Isabeau's programs more than ever now, Its really grew on me her long program and outfit. Very well done for her team, who can tell her Yes or No to what works. Congrads Isabeau!!
Lucas Broussard has the potential to be the next great US artistic star. His performances on the junior grand prix this year are very promising!
Your dress/costume comments are hilarious to me, you never fail to make me laugh, and I actually love the majority of dresses you dislike 😂
Didn’t Jason Brown receive training money from US Figure Skating in 2022 so he had to attend?
I'm not sure how it worked out. However, from the rumblings online, they made it seem as if USFSA paid him to continue training and compete at nationals due to the weak fields that lacked the star power of previous championships. I'm so glad we got to see him tho! He looked amazing! 🙂
"Spice World paparazzi villain" had me SCREAMING
This has been such an interesting video for me to stumble upon. I was the 2x national bronze medalist, back in the early 2000s, as well as a member of the US team, and the World Team. Along with Naomi Nam and Sasha Cohen, I was also coached by John Nicks, and in watching the clips of the ladies, seen in this video, I couldn't help, but be reminded of, both, Naomi and Sasha, when I saw the skating of Josephine, and Isabeau. There are a multitude of qualities about Josephine's skating, and overall presence upon the ice, which immensely remind me of Naomi, and, likewise, Isabeau's style absolutely makes me think of Sasha. Both are lovely skaters, indeed. I'm glad I came across this video! It has definitely been some time, since I last immersed myself back into the skating world!😋
Cognitive dissonance is something that I rarely associate with something that brings me joy, but the fact that JASON BROWN is being begged by the same powers-that-be I have loathed for measuring EVERYTHING in skating by its commercial impact in wealthy countries, is a thing of cosmic beauty. ❤😂🎉😊
my mood is everything drops when you upload 😂
Ahahaha same 😅
Your pep talks are amazing! ❤
I look forward to these videos too!
never been this early holy. I love your videos about fs!
I totally agree with your commentary about the skaters’ performances and costumes! 💗
I think Bradie’s outfits and hairstyle was an improvement.. The skating too.
Same. Take the white collar off the black dress and it's perfect.
Such a great competition, I’m getting hopeful! Dammit!
But the “creepy paparazzi from Spice World” comment had me GAGGED! I knew that dude had a familiar look, and you hit that shitty nail on the HEAD!😂😂😂
I'm so excited for Isabeau. She's been one of my favorite skaters for a while
“i’m only going to talk about the ladies” talks about the men for 7 minutes hahaha i know what you meant you didn’t go through each competitor but it was still funny
The bright yellow skirt looked dope.
Lol Bradie's short program dress. I legit thought she had forgotten to take of her jacket.
Thank you for your comment on Bradie’s costume. Other commentators complimented it. I agree with you.
The thing that surprised me about nationals this year is how much depth the ladies field is developing really quickly. It looks like we have some skaters that may be able to hold their own at the international competitions.
hearing the sentence "at the very least we need fashionable sense" and seeing nathan..... go girl give us nothing
do they take points off for that because they should…i dance and i know costumes do have a score thing like nathan and a lot of men (and some girls) just pick costumes that really don’t go with their programs and i’m like babe…what is this
@@oliviabrownvlogs204 not really, but you can get points deducted for costume violation, it’s mostly for sequins and other decorations falling on ice. However, at last year’s worlds shmuratku and nazarova/nikitin wore their ukraine jerseys on ice as protest and got called for costumes violation, which is just so isu.
So today's a good day! First, a new Paola video and second, 4CC starts today with the women's and men's short program.
LOVE Jason Brown!! ❤ ❤❤ His short program ABSOLUTELY flawless and his free was near perfect! 🥰🥰🥰
So happy that Amber got a medal! Also, congrats to Bradie and Starr for getting on the podium! 💗💗💗
I like the video.
I'm interested to see what happens at 4 Continents this weekend.
Can Isabeau win again? We'll see.
As soon as I saw ilias sp outfit I was like Paola is gonna say smth about it
Assuming her technique holds up. Assuming her mental health holds up. Assuming her physical health holds up.
I’m not talking about the men today, proceeds to talk about the men for 7:20 min 😂 Just so truly Paola like
ilia said he had been working on his short program and his artistry / skating skills and i think if he hadn’t put so much effort into that then he would have lost nationals
It’s pretty easy to find out about Andrew Torgashev if you want to make the least effort before talking about an event you basically didn’t watch
Ilya isn't really causing enough drama to make the sport exciting. He's competing at a time when everyone who could compete with him has retired. There's no Nathan Chen or yuzuru. So it's simply meh....
can they like have jason brown also train ilia? then he would like be the best of both worlds and become an all around skater no?
Levito didn’t get any edge calls? How? It’s clear edge change on all of her lutz and flips
ok question - since by the 2026 olympics the age limit will have gone into effect, and i ONLY get my ice skating news from u and nowhere else lol, which of the upcoming juniors does this affect? just watched your video fo the next generation for the 2026 olympics, but which of them will only be 15/16 then, but not 17? curious how the age change will affect who can go to those olympics! hope it doesnt ruin any of their dreams - not because THEYRE doing anything wrong, but because so many of them are trained to peak at 14-16.
Tessa's unitard for the Prince 2017 program was a great one too. Thats My first unitard and then Amber's.
(I'm not a unitard girly either)
It is beyond me how people can complain that the Russian ladies sacrifice artistry for technical skills (which I don’t agree with) and then have Bradie Tennell compete. Her lack of grace and artistry is painful to watch.
Tbh they're still one of the most artistic skaters we've seen. The only Russian without much artistry is trusova but she makes it up with a strong performance. American skaters haven't been artistic and have strong technical scores for a long long time like when was the last time we've heard of a big American skater? Like even before Kim Yuna and Mao Asada? They're really in no place to criticise
I really hope Jason brown will be here for the next nationals because it’s in my state which is super close to
did you see ilia's free skate? it terrified me honestly, he is so good and i need him to get to the olympics but he looked kinda injured at the end...
Love this video! And yes Star totally win in the best dress, I love his dress, is perfect for her! I kind of wish that Lindsay was the best one, when they were juniors, I prefer her over Levito. Still can’t be in love with Levito, I like her but not that much! And Amber over Brady all the time! Amber is amazing and Brady is not my favorite!
Samuel Minto is a beautiful skater. He is a 4C alternate
BRADIES COSTUME WAS SO HORRENDOUS PLEASE MAMA WE NEED A BETTER ONE
It was sad to hear you say that pairs and dance are dead in American skating. Love all figure skating myself.
Does anyone wonder how ilia is able to do something that no man has even come close to doing? When the quads were starting up, there were 6 or 7 men that were all trying it. We raise the same questions about the fact that one ladies camp is doing quads.
We gonna see at the World Championships in Japan this year if she is the next big thing...😎
I understand what you're talking about with the men; it needs variety and depth.
I liked that Brady's yellow & black outfit. Wonders what the musical selection was.
I can't find a video of Amber Glenn's short and it's killing me
0:08 "i will be ONLY talking about the ladies" - proceeds to talk about men for 7 and a half mins straight.
me: Weird - is she suffering from "Tutberidze" deficiency?!?
Fr., she needs the Russians to keep the channel going. Figure skating isn't as interesting without the Russian drama.
Super excited with this video cause I couldn't watch the competition with any link from Spain🥲🥲🥲
BUT super happy for Amber👑 (also second love of my life after zhenya, SORRY HAHA).
She is getting stronger competition after competition and her 3A is looking more solid and cleaner which makes me so so proud because I know how much she suffers for it ❤️.
CANT WAIT FOR TONIGHTS 4CC 🤞
Is there a reason why? Because these jumps are all almost at a standstill getting +5?
I liked Bradie’s priest dress (hides)
Paola where r u!!! I think I’m going crazy without a new video in two weeks! Ahhh! 😂
2:57 😭
waaait no bradie's yellow skirt looks so artistic and cool on the ice, like she's burning. not a fan of the nun collar tho
10:44 hahaha I cant
by the way I like the difference of appearance between usa/european/asian/wherever you want and russia, I mean most of those growing up and young ladies from russia do not look healthy, but I hope and it seems that there are some kind of healthier standards creating on the world wide, all the girls you talked about in this video look healthy and that is a true beauty and key to long and succesfull career
Um, Jason didn’t just show up. We knew he’d be there for months. And there will never be another Jason Brown, just like there will be another Michelle Kwan.
And you didn’t watch the ice dance, so I guess you’ll be surprised when Chock and Bates are the world champions.
Why nobody is talking about the fact that Ilya looks just like Arthur from Shrek 3. They’re identical😹
Isabeau levito being the next big thing is proof that ladies figure skating is moving backwards. It's calming to know that the junior ladies shows very promising future otherwise it will be the end of ladies fs. The senior competitions are such a bore. I think it's partly due to the Russians not competing. They're letting their guard down and doesn't try as hard when the Russians are there. They're playing house and so full of mediocre performance that i don't even follow it anymore. I just watch the top replays and they're not better, they just didn't fall like the rest.
The junior ladies has been full of entertainment. Even the girls without ultra c elements have such a great artistry and captivating performance. And i think we're seeing another Kim Yuna x Mao Asada rivalry between Jia Shin and Mao Shimada. Every competition they face each other, yk its gonna be good
Why were there 4 spots on the podium?
Lucas Broussard
I miss you🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Ilja dresses well.
so i was there with my mom and we were lucky enough to get to both the short and free and let me tell you .... we were laughing right after the short in the scoring BS. Like the scores dont just get that close
Can someone explain the difference between a short and a free?
tbh lucas broussard from the juniors could be the next jason brown ?
amber's an badass
💯
i think your work and commentary usually is great but whats up with this video? its blinking alot chopping out the action.
Imo Isabeau's jump technique (and posture in general) looks concerning and reminds me of TeamTut girls, I'm worried about her joints and back.
Her programmes are just boring, not my style at all, but that's totally subjective of course.
Totally agree. Some of Isabeau jumps have such an extreme lean so severe. I do not like her technique at all
You notice the more people talk negative about Isabeau the stronger she gets and the more we like her programs.
@@deeangel6396 you must be aware how dangerous pre-rotaion can be when jumping its a safety hazard it can damage ur back overtime and do u notice how the Tutberitze Girls always retire young if this dosent get fixed soon shes gonna be be damaged
Glad to see someone has noticed this. Her programmes remind me too much of the russians. The skating skills are meh...
That's why she will get all the top awards because she doing it where she can win meanwhile the world falls on their as*
The spice girls paparazzi 🤣
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻♥️♥️♥️🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
the dress you said looks like water color water loll it reminds me of a beta fish
The yellow outfit looks like she forgot to take her jacket of 🧐
i loved starrs short but in her free she looked like she was very wobbly and gonna fall over the whole time
wai-wait paola i thought kaori was the second love of your life?? what is the truth??
But the question is, can Isabeau Levito beat the curse
im the 400th viewer
Why is Pairs dead?
Where is nathan chen? Has he retired?
Not officially, he’s taking a break from competitive skating to focus on his studies!
He is doing a one-man show in Boston this spring, like Yuzu did in Japan.
Ilia's free was terrible at nationals.
So will any country ever have women jumping quads other than our 'roid loving Russians? I love Isabeau's lines but I'm not sure she's my ride or die. Of course, there's not been a ride or die since Michelle so that's drought. As always, love your commentary. Josephine seems promising!
Some japanese skaters like Rion can jump quadruples. Also in both japanese and korean field 3A is getting quite popular and consistent between juniors.
STOP THE NATHANFICATION OF ILIA!!!
Hot take but your recaps are so much better than TSL
Question:
Why do they show the winning ceremony from the behind of the winners and not from a side/front? Like the viewer doesn't even able to see the medals and the person "behind" it.
My thing with Gracie is we willing her back but she comes back with the same outfit for the last 2 seasons and not doing her 3axel then wonders why her marks are low. Somebody needs to be around you who will tell you NO.
I don't think she has a stable 3 axel
The "next big thing" has no 3A no 4s. Petrosiyan got quads at 13!!
in Russia…💉💉
She’ll have a blown out back by 18.
Привет,прошлый век😂
glitter > 4A
Us champ. 1st 3rd 4th places Russian guys
Tolka Sakamota i Levito mogut sastavit konkurencija Russkim devčiulim
Good video, but sometimes your comments are just unnecessarily mean, such as at 10:30, geez. Sometimes politeness, kindness is something to strive for
🙄🙄🙄
Cool summary... I don´t know why these female singles in the US and EU... its just is kind of boring to me, it´s the same things we have seen for years....
