Maybe it's her lucky dress now.The dresses haven't changed (though I thought the LP one had a few more sparkles added to it!). She wears the black one for Bolero and the dark purple one for Sandstorm.
I didn't know that bathrobe is that costly.4. Figure skating dresses are very expensive. They mentioned 40000 Rubles (which used to be over $1000 by old currency values) to spend on one dress is rather cheap.
Moskvina talked the most, mostly about FS education, but I don't have time to translate it right now unfortunately. I will do it next weekend if someone else don't do it before.
But she still landed 3Lz in her exhibition, wearing the red dress. So I think won't need the bathrobes forever (requests for next season: no coloured tights, no long sleeves, no more black unless she's skating to "Paint It Black". And more bling is always good ).Maybe it's her lucky dress now.

Liza, Sasha Smirnov, and Tamara Moskvina were guests on a talk show today in St. Petersburg. They talked about the Euros and the future of skating in St. Petersburg. It seems very interesting...would anyone mind translating the main points?

I'm not against long sleeves in general. But Liza has such fluid arms, and it would be a shame to wear clothing that de-emphasizes that. Long sleeves are okay only if they're loose and swishy.I like long sleeves. Anyway, I've noticed that long sleeves seem to be "in" this year - quite a few ladies are wearing them. Why, some dresses even have.... backs! Who knew?
Thanks for translating.Thanks for the link- interesting interview, a pity that Lisa didn't speak much but there was something else which was not mentioned in the translation already posted, here it is:
Q: 'Lisa, you received the record score of 210 at Euros, could you have won the Olympics with that score?'
A: A slight hesitation on Lisa's part then came a diplomatic reply: 'I don't really remember what scores were received at the Olympics', (the interview moves then on to the next topic)
I think she handled it really well considering what a tricky subject was touched!

Let's just say, perhaps some things in life are blessings in disguise...
Hahn is one of the few prodigies that posses clarity and deep understanding of music ever since she's just too young. I still remember her playing Bach in German tour when she was 15 and OMG if anyone deserves to be called Bach's daughter it's Hahn.Liza sure is a beauty, inside and out!
This is a little off-topic I was listening to the Sibelius Violin Concerto (one of my favorite pieces of orchestral music ever, here is a performance by another young prodigy ) and wishfully thinking how great it would be to as a skate program -- especially for Liza. I think her beautiful arm movements and general aura of fierceness could match it very well, while still being a slightly different style from what she's done before.
Since there is some time until worlds (where I wish her the best of luck!!), I thought it might be fun to look forward to next season. What are music selections that people think would suit Liza?
Maybe this might suits Liza better? Too fast, though. http://youtu.be/upkP46nvqVISince I'm no classical music expert... I'm going to recommend a Game of Thrones LP (as we've talked about many pages back). With dramatic, warrior-like portions mixed with softer moments. For the SP... something folksy?
To my ignoramus ears, w_darling's suggestion sounds pretty good as well. But what really makes "the dramatic program" is the timing, imo. Where you do the jumps, the spins, the footwork, and how it fits the specific parts of the music. If Liza opts for this route in her LP, I hope the timing is considered carefully--sometimes difficult to do while fulfilling the not-so-free requirements of the free skate.
