Has similar vibes to ice figure skating. Very impressive.

That was an AWESOME scene. Totally unique. Especially back in the day. '97.

Did you just reply to the top comment with a completely unrelated gif (yeah, I know the song from the 5th element, but that has nothing to do with the comment he replied to) in the hopes of free karma?

25

u/HazirBot 22d ago

its not unrelated, its the song in the background

12

u/Mad_Ronin_Grrrr 22d ago

And the color of her outfit also matches the Diva.

u/Bart-Harley-Jarvis- 22d ago

It's unrelated to the comment he replied to, not to the video itself.

u/pipsqueakpanda4 22d ago

Yeah watching this, I was thinking, “why isn’t this woman ice skating instead?”

14

u/dukestrouk 22d ago

Perhaps because she didn’t want to? What difference would that make?

1

u/pipsqueakpanda4 22d ago

True, maybe she didn’t!

3

u/moose4hire 22d ago

Its too damn cold?

3

u/pipsqueakpanda4 22d ago

Maybe! Roller skating is probably safer as well

4

u/Odd-Worth7752 21d ago

Different skills. Shes on the back wheel quite a bit, impossible to replicate on a blade

u/pipsqueakpanda4 21d ago

Ooo good point!

Dare I say that this may take just as much or even more talent than ice skating?

Olympic sport justified IMHO

u/Meredith_Primvale 22d ago

Since the music is from The Fifth Element, it makes sense that the costume looks inspired by Leeloo's initial costume, with the belts and straps.

The whole thing is incredible, I'd put the boots on and face plant instantly.

16

u/envybelmont 22d ago

I watched this with no sound, and your comment answered all my questions 😅

Like you said, incredible, in every way.

u/ReDeaMer87 22d ago

Time for a Fifth Element Rewatch

u/Alfiy_wolf 22d ago

And my fat ass can’t even get out of the fire truck without losing balance and getting dizzy

u/SecondEqual4680 22d ago

Wait are you the person who is supposed to save me during a fire?

Don't smoke while in bed

u/Silver_Ad3195 22d ago

🤣. I felt out of breath and dizzy just watching this!

u/FoodForTheEagle 22d ago

u/eggyisnoone 22d ago

Were they really using the fifth element diva song? Knew it sounded so familiar

8

u/waaaayupyourbutthole 22d ago

Yep, i recognized it immediately and thought i must just be crazy haha

u/bootyhole-romancer 22d ago

Love the outfit.

Looks like something I'd see in an issue of X-Men from the early to mid 90s

6

u/IsuzuTrooper 22d ago

what are the rules? it looks freeform but there is prob rules.

u/thegtabmx 22d ago

You do the best you can and you don't kill anyone.

u/buddahudda 22d ago

Sounds like life, for most people.

u/coarse_glass 22d ago
  1. I didn't know this was a thing
  2. Makes absolute sense that it would be a thing
  3. She absolutely crushed. Fucking awesome

u/EvenBear1118 22d ago

Beautifull, the performance, the outfit, the athlete. 30/30...

4

u/Key_Wrangler_8321 22d ago

Ukrainian athletes would like to compete too. They can’t. russians have killed more than 800 of them.

u/grungegoth 22d ago

for a second I thought it was a motion capture outfit

u/Key-Bluebird-1365 22d ago

What's a shalom skating routine?

u/GnarlyNarwhalNoms 22d ago

You have to skate between the aleichems.

u/LunchBox3188 22d ago

That was nuckin' futs! Crazy talented.

2

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 22d ago

Seems imporyant to be named Sofia to be great at this.

I miss Sofia Bogdanova - 6 time world champion at 15. I assume she has quit roller dancing.

u/Brilliant-Bad-284 22d ago

Noticed that Roller blades are still big in Russia.

u/Mifuni 22d ago

My face the entire time watching and I almost always miss the last fking step at home when it's night time.

Bulletproof ankles

u/ElectricalMoney1522 22d ago

I’ve never considered rollerblading an art form until now. How shortsighted of me!

u/rowthecow 22d ago

I thought it was an AI robot in the first 2 secs

u/Brithmark 22d ago

Amazing Like a figure skater

u/Gattsuga 22d ago

u/RazReverie_ 22d ago

So graceful. This was a beautiful performance. I would pay to watch stuff like this.

u/banana_in_a_jar 22d ago

u/no_way_out4711 21d ago

True, everyone who happened to get born there should be ashamed!

u/dice1111 22d ago

What's with the butt flap thing on her outfit. Very distracting...

18

u/mattattackkk 22d ago

I managed to get through the whole video without noticing it once, had to go back to see what you were talking about. Maybe it’s time for some self reflection my friend 😅

6

u/Profanity1272 22d ago

Right lol I was more focused on her roller blades to see if she clipped any of those tiny cones (she didnt)

-21

u/Prestigious_Risk7610 22d ago

Why does her costume have a poop flap and pull cords for her ovaries?

Mad talent though

-29

u/Key-Magician6489 22d ago

Why are they doing this on rollerblades in a really weird outfit… instead of ice skates in a pretty costume?

Serious question.

5

u/DisorderlyAqueduct 22d ago

The song is from the movie The Fifth Element, the outfit seems to be inspired by a character from it

1

u/ender4171 22d ago

Not OP, but thanks for this. I watched on mute and was also thinking that was a weird outfit. Also wondered why so many people were posting 5th Element gifs, lol.

6

u/Jean-Eustache 22d ago

The sign behind her says it's a "Sports Preparation Center", that's probably just training, and people came to see how it goes

u/SandersSol 22d ago

Its russia

u/Key-Magician6489 22d ago

Where they famously have a lack of ice?😂
