About the program

Lori Nichol and Carolina Kostner picked Lara Naki Gutmann's music this year: The Arctic Suite. In their reading she plays nature itself, the Arctic, pushed into trouble by people. She told OA Sport the opening is almost apocalyptic and the costume is meant to evoke ice. "I like to think nature wins over everything," she said.

At the Grand Prix de France it scored 137.01, a personal best and second in the free, lifting her from fifth to bronze. She landed a triple toe-triple toe, triple loop, Lutz and Salchow. Only the flip came out doubled.

On r/FigureSkating, fans loved how light she looks on the ice and the big toe-toe, and grumbled that just one judge gave her choreo spin a +5.
