Elena Radionova

RadioNova is a Sharapova of figure skating. ;)

Oh yes, the British Eurosport commentators totally agree with you:

Lori Nichols recycles her choreography too much but I'm suspecting it's her, her feminine style suits that kind of choreography

I was thinking maybe Lori Nichol too, but I'm not sure how great a match that would be. I'm not sure Lena's become graceful enough (yet) to do one of her pretty princess-like program, and I also really want Lena to do an upbeat number like her "Worth It" EX.
I also wonder if Lori already has too many clients.

Who else could it be? :confused:

Maybe Jeff Buttle? He did choreograph Voronov's program last season, so Sergei could have introduced them.

Maybe Emanuel Sandhu? He's working with Liza after all.

Maybe David Wilson? Shae-Lynn Bourne? Any other thoughts?

I don't think it'll be Eman since Liza is already working with him, just don't see it.

I think Elena tried really hard to improve and polish herself last season (I felt like her presentation improved and became less junior-ish) but with all the growing and the emotional rollercoasters she went through she wasn't quite 100%. Lori Nichols already finished her work with Chinese skaters so as of now I don't think she's totally packed?

Jeffrey Buttle is currently working with Kaetlyn Osmond, he's a possibility but please not David Wilson, he's made a lot of my favourite programs but he's been pretty flat for me lately. Shae-Lynn seems a bit mature for Elena or maybe I'm just too used to seeing her choreograph for Ashley Wagner.
 
Yay!! Finally some news on Lena's programs. I was worried Tarasova was going to choreograph them. I'm thrilled she's going to get a North American choreographer. Not that there's anything wrong with a Russian choreographer, but it's nice to see Elena try something new. Would be happy with Shae-Lynn Bourne, Jeffrey Buttle, Lori Nichols, or David Wilson...so really ANY of them! I agree Lena has improved a lot this past year, so I just hope whoever ends up choreographing her program continues to push her in the right direction, and that they have good chemistry!!
 
I like that she will be trying someone new. It is a good way to keep growing and setting herself further apart from the other Russian girls. She has such potential to be an even better skater.

What's wrong with Tat's choreographies?

Although a North American choreographer could be a good pick for Lena (Lori Nichol, i would say), Tatiana is great, and she created some of the best ever programs in figure skating.

Oh, nothing's wrong necessarily- just my personal preference I guess. I know Tarasova has done many beautiful programs for skaters, and I certainly love that she has supported Lena these last few seasons - my impression is that she has already influenced Lena's style/programs to a certain degree, since in multiple interviews, Lena and her coach discuss how they get input from Tarasova. Therefore, I like that Lena is going outside of Russia for some ideas. I think she can learn something new :)
 
Does that shed any light on whom she might be working with?? :confused:

I don't think so...I could be wrong but I think Lori Nichol, Shae Lynne Bourne, and David Wilson are all based there or near there. Don't know about Buttle. I hope the mystery will be revealed soon!
