Btw, not sure it was already translated anywhere, but yesterday during her interview Adelia said she loves giving interviews so much, that she practices answering questions with her mom to prepare herself! Ahahah, that’s so cute!

If I understood correctly, Daniil said Bolero will be Kamila‘s Olympic program. (Don‘t know why my automatic translations says something about Don Quixote, though?)
Can‘t say I‘m too happy about that tbh, I kind of hate that program.
Would have loved for her to repeat the SP, it deserves to be seen on the international scene.

Not a fan of this program...or perhaps I was just expecting Kalinka which I sorta love. Was impressed by everyone-including Zhillina-(she removed a number of steps from her program-some of which I loved-not sure why). One of my favorites was Maria P.-wow- Sad for Sophia S, but she will come back better next year, and please lord, with new programs.

I loved Kalinka so much too. The step sequence was just so much fun and her over-the-top expressions worked so well.
I was really surprised by Maria Paramonova to be honest. She skates so maturely for her age. I would not expect her to be 12, more like 15/16/17.
I'd actually be okay with Sofia Samodelkina repeating her FS for the rest of her career (yes I really love it) but I want to see what else she can do as well. Not the SP though, it's improving but I still don't like it (she performs it very well but I just don't get it).

I’m ecstatic. I’ve watched the Nationals performance more times than I can count.If I understood correctly, Daniil said Bolero will be Kamila‘s Olympic program. (Don‘t know why my automatic translations says something about Don Quixote, though?)

My favorite performance from Nationals. I was giving it a standing ovation along with everyone in the arena.
Because he does say stuff about Don Quixote there

Agree with all points, her SP is both beautiful and unique, while her Bolero is going to be maybe 3rd best Bolero performed at the Olympics. DG is comparing it to Don Quixote, but it was a much better Olympic program than Bolero.If I understood correctly, Daniil said Bolero will be Kamila‘s Olympic program.

It's because he says they are fine with that as they were with DQ or something in that sense.If I understood correctly, Daniil said Bolero will be Kamila‘s Olympic program. (Don‘t know why my automatic translations says something about Don Quixote, though?)

And her SP music is composed by Eric Radford, isn‘t it? Imagine skating at the Olympics, fighting for Gold, while skating to music by another Olympic champion! Now I‘m even more sad we won‘t get to see this moment.

Yes, I'm sure Eric would be very proud! His 'Storm' piece is really great. Meanwhile not only Ravel isn't alive to witness this moment, he himself didn't like Bolero that much.

Agreed, it's not a very good program. But meh, it's not the worst program imaginable. Definitely not worth a repeat in my eyes, but that's not a disaster.If I understood correctly, Daniil said Bolero will be Kamila‘s Olympic program.

Storm is already two years old. I doubt third year of it can be successful. Kamila should be already bored with it.
The SP program is quite different than the exhibition last season. Only the music is the same

My main issue with Bolero isn't even the music or the choreo or the packed transitions - it's that the program doesn't show off Kamila's strengths.
For Olympic season the packaging of skaters' programs is very important. You want programs that can hide your weaknesses, show your strengths and be memorable. I honestly don't think Bolero does any of those three things for Kamila.
Take Don Quixote for example, it showed off Alina's technical prowess by building up to the second half. It hid her weaker skating skills by giving her a slower step sequence that allowed her to make sure to hit all edges and turns. And it was certainly very memorable. But Bolero... it doesn't show off Kamila's extensions nor her elegance, it doesn't hide her weaker edge depth nor her rushed movements, and it is honestly only memorable to be because I dislike it. There's not one moment I remember (except for the beginning) with a lot of detail.

Exactly!! Ravel is a really amazing composer with some gorgeous pieces of music. Why chose Bolero? The piece he, himself, doesn't even like all that much? Why not pavane pour une infante defunte or adagio of his piano concerto? And Debussy I feel might be the perfect choice for Kamila. (Please no more Clair de Lune though). I could see her skating so well to something like Prelude a l'apres midi d'un faune.

Yep. The beginning she performs well. Afterwards it's just some random skating with Kamila doing some moves that she's done in all her programs so far. To me the choreo doesn't really have anything to do with the music. It's packed so full that the program feels quite empty to me.
