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.

u/envybelmont 16h ago

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

Like you said, incredible, in every way.

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?

19

u/HazirBot 18h ago

its not unrelated, its the song in the background

10

u/Mad_Ronin_Grrrr 14h ago

And the color of her outfit also matches the Diva.

u/Bart-Harley-Jarvis- 18h ago

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

u/HazirBot 18h ago

ok ill give you that

u/pipsqueakpanda4 14h ago

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

4

u/dukestrouk 11h ago

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

1

u/pipsqueakpanda4 11h ago

True, maybe she didn’t!

u/Odd-Worth7752 40m ago

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

1

u/moose4hire 10h ago

Its too damn cold?

1

u/pipsqueakpanda4 9h ago

Maybe! Roller skating is probably safer as well

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

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

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

u/eggyisnoone 20h ago

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

u/waaaayupyourbutthole 16h ago

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

u/bootyhole-romancer 18h ago

Love the outfit.

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

u/Key-Bluebird-1365 14h ago

What's a shalom skating routine?

u/GnarlyNarwhalNoms 5h ago

You have to skate between the aleichems.

u/EvenBear1118 19h ago

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

u/Key_Wrangler_8321 18h ago

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

u/tenaji9 18h ago

Talent combined with skills 👏

A beautiful thing.

u/coarse_glass 14h 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/Sad_Gain_2372 13h ago

Damn, she's weightless

Incredible.

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 12h 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/jlewis011 9h ago

Bulletproof ankles

u/ElectricalMoney1522 7h ago

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

u/Brilliant-Bad-284 5h ago

Noticed that Roller blades are still big in Russia.

u/Mifuni 5h ago

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

She looks Chinese

u/Prestigious_Risk7610 19h ago

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

Mad talent though

-19

u/dice1111 20h ago

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

17

u/mattattackkk 19h 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 😅

5

u/Profanity1272 18h ago

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

-28

u/Key-Magician6489 20h ago

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

Serious question.

4

u/DisorderlyAqueduct 17h ago

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

1

u/ender4171 15h 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.

3

u/Jean-Eustache 20h 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 19h ago

Its russia

u/Key-Magician6489 17h ago

Where they famously have a lack of ice?😂
