The next one is Josephine Thallegaard 30 years old Josephine Thallegaard has very different free skate programs with the energy of her short program Now it's Selene Dion's turn everything will come back to her There were days when the sun was so cruel and all the tears turned to dust and I just knew my eyes were drying up forever I finished crying in the instant that you lef And I can't remember well I can't remember you and me When you touch me like this and you hold me like that I just have to admit that it's all coming back to me when I touch you like this and I hold you like tha It's so hard to believe But it's all coming back to me It's all coming back It's all coming back to me now There were moments of gold And there were flashes of lig There were things we could never do again but then they always seemed right come to me when you see me Come to me the flesh and the fantasies All coming back to me I can barely recall It's all coming back to me now If you do it like this It's all coming back to me now Wow I don't know what to say Well it 's interesting I feel glad that you' re emotional about it Because normally it's me that gets emotional But I What I want to say to Josephine Thaligard is that she has been open and honest with reporters and journalists about how often she's She's been judged and told why she's not good enough she doesn't fit the mold of the conventional skater and so she's always battled against the naysayer We've got to be open and honest and acknowledge that wasn't in this sporting arena good enough to be competitive for the remit of competition but what she brings as I said in the short program It's just so full of passion and it's so engaging And I for one will stand up and scream about how brilliant she is for as long as I can We've talked about this before You hear good singers good voices Then you hear the ones that They feel every word when they sing And you can see She feels every phrase Every word with her movement As if the voice is coming from her And that's what makes it special I don 't even want to talk about technical stuff I mean yeah okay we've got to It's obvious you can see it you can see the misses It's okay it's whatever There's no blow there's no glide The judges can't give big creative execution It's easier content than what we'll see from others But I'm just I'm mindful now That the Olympics aren't going to happen again For just to be at this rate She doesn't have the tech score right now for Worlds And I feel like I really enjoy what she brings to sports Look at that right there incredible It's like I want to Fund the training to try and help her get that 88-point score for the minimum tech score for participation in Prague Worlds if she doesn't know enough already How many people admire what she does on the ice Then Well write and tell her She knows why Because she enjoys doing it as muc And you can see it that's what makes her special She gets the joy out of her own skating And she's going to hear this she's going to hear you And me rant on okay In a positive way of course That's a beautiful skater that's somebody special I don't mind the elements are the elements You do the best that you can with them Yes they can be worked on and all that kind of stuff But you cannot get What she does what she gives In a program like this you can't get that from every skater It simply doesn't exist But in her it does Camera guys know to zoom in on that expressive face Oh no don't cry You'll be terrified by the daily crowd Joined by our sisters Maria and Malin Talyagard And the audience here appreciated every single move here and isn't it interesting because you know as we say Josephine isn't out there triple-tripling she's no What's seen in the skating community is readily apparent but the audience here also connects with what she does Totally 100 points 142 that's first in the free program Wow that's great Sees the best with a total competition score of 154.61 As she takes the lead And if that isn't a message to you Josephine then I don't know what is Yes you made mistakes it wasn't perfect technically but those points were earned by your program by you
