It's in Russian so I translated it and cleaned up some of the wording as best I could. Feel free to correct my misinterpretations if you find them
That Lipnitskaya appealed for help to the fans, I do not see anything wrong
Julia Lipnitskaya appealed to fans through social networks to propose a new idea for her free skate.
Lipnitskaya Julia, the youngest Olympic champion in the history of the Winter Olympics, whose programs last season, "Do not deny loving" and "Schindler's List" and will look to revise, perhaps many years, appealed to fans through social networks to propose to her the idea for a new any program.
Like last year, the program puts Lipnitskaya famous choreographer Ilya Averbuch. The fact that you have to face difficulties was probably obvious. And the burden over the skater, and over her coach and choreographer hung on waiting for new masterpieces, understanding that in any case can not lower the bar.
And excessive desire to do something extraordinary would have serious creative research. As a result, on the page fan club Lipnitskaya "Vkontakte" entry appears as follows:
"We appeal to you for help: halfway through the summer, and Julia and her coach did not choose the music and the concept of the free program for next season.
Short program is fully ready, and Julia she is very happy, but with her free program she and her coach can not decide. So Julia really would like to see in the choice of music and ideas for her new long so she asked for halo from her official group members "
Ilya Averbukh, with whom we contacted by telephone and who is now abroad, as it turned out, did not even know that Julia will appeal to fans:
- For me, this news - Ilya admitted. - In fact, free program, as well as short, we already set, and we parted with Julia on the fact that within a week it will be a new wheel in an arbitrary and then we will meet and make a final decision.
- Something doubt?
- This is a very beautiful music, and the program itself, in my opinion, quite bright, with an interesting idea. I like the program, coach Julia Etery Tutberidze too, but she doubts ...and Julia is partly questioning the music, which is not such a world-renowned hit as "Schindler's List." It has not yet fallen in love with the image that she was offered, and agree that it is very important. Because this program to roll it, and in order to make it as, Julia must fall in love with what she does. With all the short program in this regard in order, Julia took her completely ... And with any ... Well, let people be offering other ideas, I have nothing against it, in the "Ice Age" that happens not infrequently, it is normal I do not see anything wrong with that. I'm always open to suggestions. Eventually, Julia became our national heritage, and in a sense it would be logical if finding ideas for her long program will take part from many people.
- You say, a week will make a final decision. Who will take it?
- We want to show any program management federation, to hear the views of experts, after which a decision will be made jointly by Eteri, Julia and me.
- As you were basically setting? With Julia is now more difficult than last year, or for some reason it is easier?
- Much easier. Julia has matured, the music has deeper and thinner feel. She is in great shape, well rested, she was given a large enough vacation and a half months to recover and recover from such a heavy, exciting Olympic season. While on holiday her mood is very watched, it did not quite an ounce. So working with her a pleasure.
