I totally missed out on that Absoluteskating had a conversation with Mia in the mixed zone during EC. I found it here.
It seems she will be working more with Sondre on new programs, so i´m guessing he will make her new FP!
Mia Caroline Risa Gomez: "I could relate to Wonder Woman"
At her debut Europeans Norwegian Mia Caroline qualified for the free skate and showed two beautiful programs. In the mixed zone after her free skate, she told us a bit more about them.
Her short program to "Metamorphosis Two" by Philip Glass was choreographed by another Norwegian skater we love dearly, Sondre Oddvoll Bøe: "This was my first year working with him and it was absolutely amazing. He was really good at creating programs made specifically for me. He knows me as well, so he knows things I like, the way I skate. And he was very good with building up the program, I thought he did an amazing job. And I really, really love this program.
I thought it was an amazing collaboration and I can't wait to work with him again next season."
Her free skate is to the "Wonder Woman" soundtrack, and this is how she explained her choice: "When I first heard the music, I thought it sounded really cool, and I loved the music cuts, but I hadn't seen the movie at that point. So, I straight away went and watched the movie, and I just fell in love with this character. I tried to get into her feelings and emotions and see who she was. I could relate to her so much, to her strength and passion. I felt like it suited me very well, and I tried to show in my program the same amount of power that she shows in the movie."
Overall, she was very pleased with her competition in Espoo: "I'm very happy I was chosen to compete at the Europeans. It was my first time, so I was a bit nervous. But skating to such a nice crowd and in such a big competition felt nice. So, I'm very grateful for the opportunity."
No doubt she'll enjoy skating to an even bigger and louder crowd in Japan this week.
