Carolina Kostner Performs at Burning Man

As if I didn't love her enough! She (roller)skated to Ave Maria in honor of a friend who passed away...in the middle of the California desert at Burning Man.

See the video of her skate here.

It's a somewhat simplified version of her amazing short program from last season, and she rocks it. She's almost as amazing on roller blades as she is on ice. I wonder if she practiced?

I'm pretty good on roller skates, but it takes me a little while to get adjusted. The mechanics are similar, but edgework and push-pull with the surface is totally different, almost alien!

And for comparison's sake, here's the video of her chillingly flawless short program from Europeans.
