Ohhhh, you mean Spidermei!

Awww she's so sweet. 

Did her TES drop quite a bit?

you know, watching FS comps you might get the idea there's only 10 songs to choose from

That's why I appreciate rare and unusual music choices like Mambekova's FS music or AC/DC 

I woke up just in time for zamboni’s turn. Thank goodness I didn’t miss the last grp.

Although when the song in my mother tongue 'showed' up in the ladies even at Euro, I was completely bewildered. 

 

But yes. The point is, there are so many interesting pieces of music out there! Or is the licensing hard?

I am watching the ladies and proof reading my thesis chapter at the same time... My supervisor is going to find some interesting things in this chapter 

Angela's dress looks like a very modest one-piece swimsuit. Sorry, Angela!

Soyun's dress instead is gorgeous!!  Alaine's dress is very nice too!!

Go, Liz!!!!

I was surprised when I heard that music at Euros  

One skater chose a song with a voiceover (it was a poem!) in my language and when I first heard it at Lombardia I was 100% sure I left a youtube tab open 

 

It's hard to choose a good piece of music and to choreograph an equally good program to it. Music in fs needs to have some slow and fast parts as well and not every kind of music is easy to skate to. There have always been warhorses in fs because if something worked for some skaters it would probably work for others too.

Also if a skater finds the music which suits his/her style it's hard to choose something completely different. The safer=the easier.

 

In the first one or two seasons in an Olympic cycle it's easier to experiement with styles, but In the Olympic season it's really risky to choose something unexpected/not really known because the chance that judges may dislike it or just couldn't get into it is higher, and it just affects the PCS which then can affect results at the Olympics.

Go Lilbet!

Lil bet  Hang in there!

Soyouns is fabulous - a lot of them don't seem to work from the distance the actual audience is seeing them from - they look insipid or boring when the detail is too fussy/too matched to the colour of the dress -Es is a case in point

I don't know why but I have the feeling that Little Bet have got taller
