Thanks for the interview, I try to help, because the last part is quite strange
[/I]

Thank you for clearing up the weirdness. Glad to here that her double "snipe" is much better than before. :laugh:

I remember there was a Tarasova interview once someone posted that discussed triple "Sheepskin" jumps. :laugh:

I really like that there is a story being told and it is one Serafima believes in and wants to portray. These should be interesting programs to see and both of the songs are beautiful. You can listen to them on her vk fan page that I posted above

I posted the entire interview on her fan page here at GS http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?51218-Serafima-Sakhanovich&p=965442#post965442 and what stuck out to me was how she said "Madly want to show that my skating has become better, stronger.......... I want to achieve the impossible." That and the revelation that she competed at JWC and won silver on painkillers due to an injured right foot :eek:

Am I the only one not completely disappointed by her choice? I think POTO suits her powerful style and creates a nice contrast with the classical music of the SP

I agree with this; in theory this is a great chance to break out of the "ice princess" character she ended up with last season. The problem is that POTO seems really overused. I think Gracie's got loads of potential and I would like to see her do something INTERESTING with it. It's a lot harder to spark the audience's interest when it's music they've heard over and over and over again.

Kanako Murakami
SP not yet decided
FP The Phantom of the Opera with vocal

Takahito Mura
SP Violin Concerto by Mendelssohn
FP The Phantom of the Opera with vocal

Oof, case in point.

Imagine the arena announcers: "Winners of Ice Dance Short Carmen...err....Short Dance are...."

Can't wait for the day

Gold: Carmen!
Silver: Carmen!!
Bronze: Carmen!!!

Then finally ISU has no choice but to BAN Carmen from skating all together due to weeping judges, complaining viewers and trade embargo set forth by other classics record labels.

I'm glad to hear that. From the short clip of their program I thought they looked quite good considering that they have been skating for a relatively short time. Even Trankov complimented them and said as a pair they look great already. Most importantly, both are quite strong jumpers. If you ever go watch old videos of Gerboldt/Enbert, nine out of ten times she was the one who made jumping mistakes and Enbert had clean jumps most of the time. And Davankova is also quite solid although there were rare moments when she had errors.

Yes, she said they obviously lack in experience but they got great potential, and look gorgeous together.

Mozer said that Robin will work with them and T&M.

I'm tired of Gracie's routine already - and I haven't even seen it....

Me too, but I don't like that music at all.

Can you imagine being one of the judges who are subject to THREE POTO?

POTO is gonna be the new Carmen now with lyrics in the music game.

Gah, me too though I seriously doubt Gracie chose the music. That's all Frank and Lori.

They're taking Gracie in the direction I thought they would...and that sucks. I really would've loved to see them give her something that would show some of her personality on the ice. Instead it looks like we're in for more generic cookie-cutter ice princess stuff. Oh well...

If Frank & Lori did choose Phantom, they're doing her a real disservice. It's mediocre music to begin with IMO, and so over-used that to make an impact the choreography will have to be spectacular and Gracie will have to skate lights out -- and then some.

LuisRollerArg · Aug 1, 2014

He's skated this program in Artistry on Ice, and in ohter thread tell that it is his new SP, and in a Chinese article (I ca't find it) about Han, he told: "My new SP is about a dreamer man, he wants be a star, rich...." or something similar...

I'm fascinated by this... love Rudy. Has he done a lot of choreography before?

breynows · Aug 1, 2014

i was in love when i saw Gracie music choice, then i saw kanako :eek:

hwell: and was like OMG can't believe it two POTO why???!! All i wanted was to see one , so why there is two of them :scratch: and then there was another one and i was like whathever it is my favorite music anyway. I think akiko really inspired a lot of skaters eh? But serious is POTO really overused (not including the pairs, men and ice dance i don't usually watch it), the firts time i've seen it was when akiko skated :eek:

Will POTO be the Carmen of the single skaters? Oh lordy

Han Yan's If I Were A Rich Man:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gMw-g2Awmc

I dunno how I feel about Han Yan's development/packaging….and that is some odd choreography Lori gave him [again]. His skating style of the past couple years reminds me of Oda……………………………

Also, those pants have got to go. And those vocals…. I'm honestly mystified. I have no idea what possessed him to go with this program. Just say no, man!
