The Amazing Alexandra Trusova / Александра Трусова. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ Olympic silver medallist, Alexandra Trusova, is the only woman currently capable of jumping all existing quad jumps and has landed all but one in competition. So far, she is one of the few women figure skaters who can keep up with the guys! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ Her Cruella free skate program was one of the highlights of last season. She really is on a whole other level, and continues to push the sport to new heights. Can't wait to see her in competition again, Thanks for watching!

Loena Hendrickx, from Belgium, has been a force of nature on the international figure skating scene this past year or so. - Her combination of powerful skating, elegance & excellent performance skills make her amazing to watch in competition. - Unfortunately, some hard falls meant the gold medal was just beyond reach at the European Championships, Finland. - Loena won the ISU GP Grand Prix de France 2022 back in November, so we know that Loena will bounce back from this, better than ever :) - Go Loena!

Kaori Sakamoto / 坂本花織 of Japan is a Bronze medal Olympian & current Womens Figure Skating Champion 2022. She just keeps improving year on year. But her best program is still the Matrix free skate from her 2019 - 2021 seasons. It was such a high energy program! For drama and entertainment, it's hard to beat! Can't wait to see what Kaori does next :) Thanks for watching! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ #figureskating #pairskating #iceskating #spiral (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡ フィギュアスケート アイススケート фигурное катание

Kimmy Repond had a wonderful skate at the European Figure Skating Championships in Espoo, Finland. Her short program performance was a joy to watch and it was great to see her doing so well. She received positive GOE on all but one element, the 3 Lutz + 3 Toeloop combo. And her spins, especially the final upright spin, were lovely. Can't wait to see how she does in the Free Skate. Go Kimmy! * Kimmy Repond competes for Switzerland. #figureskating #iceskating #skating The Women's Free Skate will be broadcast 28 Jan 2023 by ISU Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KTuhIBK2Z4 Hope you've been enjoying the competition!

Ballet has had a huge influence on figure skating. Poise and grace with strength, skill and stamina are all on display during top competitions. While ballet was invented in the 16th century, figure skating became an Olympic sport in 1908 so it is still very much evolving. But today's skaters are just like ballerinas on ice, with Anna Shcherbakova, Adeliia Petrosian, Kamila Valieva, Alexandra Trusova, Isabeau Levito etc. all displaying ballerina-like qualities. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ Figure skating has evolved, and it's ballet influences are more visible than ever. Like ballet, figure skating perfectly blends dramatic performance, extreme flexibility & athleticism. Alina Zagitova's mesmerising Olympic winning Carmen program was heavily influenced by ballet and classical dance. She won gold at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games. #figureskating #iceskating #skating (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡
