Zawadzki's USFS/IceNetwork bio says her SP music is "Harlem Nocturne" arranged by David Rose, "Whatever Lola Wants" by Stan Kenton, "Harlem Nocturne" arranged by Duke Ellington and her FS music is TBD.Does anyone have any news on Agnes ? About her programs or her coaching change ? She's my favourite American skater at the moment and I hope she has a great season.

Mirai is still a better all around skater then both Agnes and especially Christina. If she lands her jumps they won't beat her.Nice program. Unfortunately, there was no outward connection to the audience; she looked down the whole time, never out into the crowd, and she didn't smile until the end. I think had she done that, the program would have been so much better. But I'm not too worried about that though. She's capable of doing it...she just didn't do it here.
I think Agnes has a good shot at moving up in US ranks this year to 2nd or even 1st. I think both Agnes and Christina Gao are the ones to watch this season. Both have the jumps and their presentation is steadily improving. This of course spells doom for skaters like Ashley and Mirai--the ones everyone are waiting on to get their crap together. And it puts skaters like Alissa and Rachael on the chopping block. I really wouldn't be surprised if we get a brand new US champ this year. The younger girls are coming in and have no problems pushing the older ones out, especially when they don't put up a fight.
It's going to be an interesting season...

The cosmetic changes that have been made (sleek ponytail, black cocktail style skating dress with a slight Vegas showgirl edge, and more mature makeup) definitely improve and upgrade her on-ice image.
Instead of looking like a 16-year old hooker as she did last year, she now looks like a 19-year old hooker.
Sorry, but that's really all I get from her skating right now. I look at her and think "street walker". There's something tacky about her aura.
Aside from my own personal reaction, more specifically, she is very stiff in both her body and face. Needs to work on that considerably.
