A highly decorated and accomplished figure skater displayed her skill and finesse on the ice with her stunning routine while skating to a hit from the classic rock band Queen.
Figure skaters must be some of the best, most intelligent and most disciplined athletes. Not only do they possess a ton of talent and spend countless hours on the ice perfecting their craft, but they must know their bodies and their limits.
In an average routine, figure skaters perform moves and maneuvers that, if done incorrectly, could result in serious injury and possibly death. They must know when they are in the right frame of mind to attempt a particular move and when not to hold back.
Nicole Schott, a seven-time German figure skating champion, put on a dazzling and terrific routine while skating to a cover of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Yes, Nicole, during her approximately 3-minute routine is skating. But very early in the clip, the young woman appears to cease skating and instead dances around the ice, performing to the sweet sounds of the classic song.
Nicole spins and twists with dizzying speed but continues as if she’s not bothered at all.
Her movement on the frozen, slippery surface is done with beauty, elegance and grace. Her entire routine appears effortless, which is the true sign of a professional and someone at the top of their game.
She really does put on a show, treating the audience to a magnificent display of athleticism, skill, strength and showmanship. At the end of her performance, the audience reacts accordingly. They give the young woman a thunderous round of applause.
Some people posted on the YouTube video of Nicole’s beautiful routine, mentioning how much they adored her performance.
“Phenomenal choreography. Jumps into spins,” one person wrote.
“I definitely wouldn’t listen to this song on its own but her skating makes it special,” a second individual added.
