OMG, I can't take the suspense!!

Last year, at least we knew what music Lena was skating to BEFORE the test skates happened. Now it's like we won't find out until the moment she performs!! :eeking:

I am SO excited! I saw a timetable for today somewhere; it starts at 3pm over there with Lena skating near the end of the first half.

Starts at about 11 minutes in

... illusion spins aren't really her thing!! I like the choreography, but not a massive fan of the music

 

[puremagic]

bad SP music to me
after work with new choreographer (canadian i guess?) she skates like north american girls - that's not good
i'm upset

Here's another angle; individual vid https://www.periscope.tv/Natalive/1BdGYNPebzlJX?

And I'm glad i'm not the only one who doesn't like the music. I'm upset about her posture. Still hunched Oh well, no biggie I guess. She needs her jumps more.

Honestly I hate the Illusion spin no matter who does it. I neither hate nor love the music. I just want her jumps back.

the music is alright, but that "illusion" needs to go, not even close to Sotnikovas, even Pogo makes better ones.
I think the jumps were ok, she was looking she like she didn't care for today

She's gritty so I'm sure she will care during competition. She may want to do a B event before her first GP

I think that SP has a lot of potential. I like it.

I think so too. Shae Lynn gave her a good vehicle. Not sure what was up today with her jumps.

This program actually suits her showy personality, I wouldn't worry about her jumps base from an early test skate !!!

I agree.

She is so pretty!

 

[solani]

I think so too. Shae Lynn gave her a good vehicle.

I fully agree. I'm actually surprised at how much I like this program.

it hides her constant arms flailing too !!!

I'm glad other people enjoyed Elena's program more than I did!! Hopefully she still has her jumps and today was just an off way, and when I see the program in its final polished form, I'll like it more. I did like Gracie's Gershwin program which is what people keep comparing it to. I wish her the best of luck for tomorrow's FS. She definitely has her work cut out for her this season, and I think she has what it takes to be on top, it's just a question of how much she is willing to work for it.
