I understand why she doesn't change it up too much for the olympic season but I really would like to see Medvedeva try something a bit more fierce for her EX.
Medvedeva could easily elevate that program with some editing by someone like Sandra Bezic. Let the music do its work. No need for overwrought faces. Just let your skating, extension, etc. do the storytelling.
Get rid of the first 20 seconds miming while on bend knees, then may be there's an exhibition I can get behind, see how much better can figure skating be without all that clutter for no apparent purpose than points scoring?
Wonder why she selected this piece. A subtle reference to Kim's exhibition at Vancouver? Seeing it in PyeongChang may endear her to the audience?
