Skate Info Glace: Do you still plan to use the Boléro as your free program for the Olympic year?
Kevin: Yes, I want to use this program again because I couldn't finish the season with it. At the European Championships, I only did the short program, and at the French Elite Championships, it wasn't good. So it stopped at the final, where it was average. In reality, I've only really skated it twice. This program deserves to be revisited. I know many will tell me that Boléro is over. I love it. This music transports me, and for an Olympic year, I think it brings something special. I know I can modify the program, bring something new to it, and I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'm going to change the costume a little. I don't think I'll change the shape, but maybe the stitching or the texture. I want to bring a fresh take, because wearing the same costume would make me feel like I'm reliving the past. I love creating costumes with Astrae. If I could buy them all the time, I would (laughs).
Skate Info Glace: Do you have any ideas for the short program?
Kevin: I have seven or eight pieces of music in mind. There are two that stand out in particular, but they're completely opposite. The real question is: what do I want to tell this Olympic season? This year, I experienced a super fun program and another very emotional one. Both worked well. The two pieces of music I currently have are in that vein, each in its own style. So I'm going to think, sit down, and see what speaks to me the most.
