I kind of disagree that a week is not a sufficient time for choreographing a program. IIRC it took Ilya Averbuch one night to choreo a SL for Yulia we all know the result.
I feel more baffled by Mishin by the day, first he insults Mao by calling her 3A an illusion, now he shows total disrespect to Stephane. Yes, any program requires some polishing touches but one thing is to say that Lambiel did a good program we just need to work on it, and quite another is to say: ‘Lambiel’s skating abilities are outstanding but experience of our coaches in St Petersburg including Tatyana Prokofieva is conceivably much more multi-dimensional and constructive’
In other words he is good skater but a lousy choreographer?
It is such a pity because Liza seemed so happy and excited about her new LP just a week ago:
''I would like especially to mention a long program where I am taking on an absolutely new role – for myself , and for fans of FS. All my previous programs were in totally different style. This time we've decided to try new things. In my opinion, it's been a success!''
Well, Mr Mishin clearly had a different view. Why to go to Lambiel at all I'd like to know? Mishin said many a time in his interviews, that jumps are what matters in fs and the rest (spins, transitions, steps) is just a stuff which annoyingly gets in a way of a good jump [loose translation]
BTW another epic quote from Mishin (that bit was not included in the excellent translation by Lauravvv above):
'The music must be aimed at expanding the creative range of the athlete. Like it was with Evgeni Plushenko who I called a Shakespeare of figure skating for his supreme versatility and ability to take on any role.'

Yay! Hopefully we'll get more pics of Liza all dressed up!
(Sorry, Mishin. 
) Any news on that "Queen" photoshoot, and whether we'll see some high quality images from that?
