waiting too long ....
Agreed! Anyone have any idea what her FS will be? I'm surprised there was no mention of her FS program at Russian test skates. Even though she didn't skate for the gala/open skates b/c she was sick, I was under the impression she still did the official closed skate. I wonder if she is keeping her Titanic FS from last year? I hope not, but I guess if she is struggling with some technical issues, maybe it is not a bad idea...
No, there won't be another Titanic of a proportion for any of her FS.... ever :hopelessness:

as of this moment, i am willing to see Titanic again just to see her skate the FS.. but hopefully, not 
Oh god, I hope not!!
But that is exactly what I am fearing too! 
The only program that I wouldn't mind seeing Lena recycle is her 2013-14 Frida LP. It might be interesting to see her perform that in a more grown-up, womanly fashion and less like a little (adorable) girl.
There has only been radio silence regarding Lena's LP, so I have no idea what's going on. She was seen leaving the rink with Inna Goncharenko and Elena Maslennikova after the SP, though, so I wonder if Maslennikova might have choreographed it...? She did do Lena's Rachmaninoff program and several of Lena's EX's.
Oh how I wish there was an interview with Elena or Inna so we knew what was going on! :yes:

Now for the goodies!
Here's another video of Lena after the test skates; I think it was on Sunday when she didn't skate:

And many fan photos with Lena:

Rachmaninoff is my fave choreography!! :luv17: ~ if only there's a way to confirm

Yes, Frida LP is one of my favorite LPs as well! I would love to see her recycle that one, or the Rachmaninoff LP as I believe both programs would be even more beautiful now with her all grown up. Titanic, I don't think even Lena could save in the end. It wasn't Morozov's choreography- just the bad music cuts and voice overs. Actually, now that I think about, many of my favorite programs for Elena were choreographed by Averbukh: 2013-14 SP and LP, 2014-15 SP. It's funny because he was being criticized in other threads for choreographing one noted programs for Yulia and Evgenia, but I actually think he understands each skater's individual style quite well, and choreographs to their strengths. His programs for Elena are quite different from those for Yulia and Evgenia, for instance. I know I originally wanted Lena to work with new and different choreographers, but now I find myself hoping she will collaborate with Averbukh again in the future.

Seriously, they are Russians in Russia. If you want to get info of a top secret skater skating on skates, you will probably have no problems if you have enough $$$. Only question is, if there is someone arround with that huge interrest.
Dear fans, keep calm and believe in Lena. If anyone can fight it's her.
I'll try to find info on her LP if I can. The Russian test skates are a closed event so there is no guarantee that information about programs will leak from there.
this rumors spreading she is getting an old FS is ridiculuous !!! she has a new FS options thats for sure...
Lena always says she makes many options for a SP and FS programs...
We're not spreading rumors! We're just wondering why we haven't heard ANYTHING about Lena's FS. Not about the music or the choreographer. Last year we knew BEFORE the test skates what Lena was skating to, so I think it's odd that we haven't heard anything at all this year.
The fact that Lena wasn't assigned any Senior B events also makes me think that perhaps 1) Lena's not ready to compete yet (due to an injury or just not being in competitive shape), or 2) she had to change her FS and needs more time to get used to it. Again, these are NOT rumors, this is just ME SPECULATING! :yes:
In the meantime, here are a few more photos from the test skates:

Lena is now as tall as Masha Sotskova, it means at least 170 cm:

Hmm, it's hard to tell because Lena's standing very straight and Masha's looking down, but it's quite possible that Lena grew another 1-2cm and is very close to 170cm...

Seems she is at the Cote dAzur for some reasons.
