Me too!
I'd love to see Zhenya skate to the main theme from The Imitation Game or The Shape of Water -- both by Alexandre Desplat, who composed part of the selections for the Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close program. I'm still holding out hope for my full length Windmills of your Mind short program too. Or one of the main themes from Howl's Moving Castle, but apparently Miyazaki doesn't lend his music out that freely and apparently even Yuzu had to specially ask.
As for warhorses...I'd actually really love Chicago or Clair de Lune.

I absolutely love Zhenya's FP this year but I just watched Mai Mihara's show program to Libertango. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJhYDQtxn-I
The part starting at about 1:00 is a similar music section to what Zhenya had in her FP. But I think some of Mai's choreography is better and has more tango movement choreographed. I would have loved to see Evgenia have more choreo similar to what Mai had here. I don't know what exactly, but just maybe more tango substance?
I just don't think David Wilson was the best choreographer for her this past year. The choreo was kind of lacking and it was saved by how fierce Evgenia is. But I can see the missed potential. It could have been even better maybe! I also don't know if maybe DW being busy with ice shows this year and not being able to fine-tune the program has something to do with that. But even still, I still love the FP this past season. Just wanted to know you guys' thoughts on the choreo this year.

I saw Mai's program and thought the same thing. They could have done a great short program to Libertango and called it a day. I noticed as the season went on the choreography got more watered down. I think they were trying to keep things more simple for her because of the issues she was having with the jumps and performing overall. If David was responsible for cutting the music he did a poor job but in his defense if they were trying to keep things simple for her and changing the layout a lot (in the first half of the season) maybe it made it harder for him to do his job? My guess is that they realized that parts of the music were not great but decided to stick it out to avoid yet another change.
I agree though that David should not work with Zhenya again and they are not a match. It is all in the past now and I hope the lessons have been learned by Brian and the team. Now Misha Ge is in the picture and she will have two great programs next season!

About Zhenya‘s FS: It was just not a good program. The step sequence was the only part that was well choreographed. Everything else was saved by Zhenya‘s spirit and her fire.
Zhenya’s in Russia at the moment at a Nike event. Open training session, I think? Anyway, there are lots of pictures and videos:

Yes, there's going to be an interview on Saturday.
Do you know where we could find it when it comes out?

I don't really know, tbh, but probably somewhere on Nike's social media, since it looks to be part of their campaign. I'm sure it'll turn up in this thread anyway.
Speaking of interviews, appearantly the girl with bright hair that Zhenya posted a photo with on instagram, is a (popular?) vloger who's also going to post an interview with her sometimes soon.

Yes, especially since some of the fans and the media can‘t.
Btw: Tosca! :luv17: Beautifully captured her spirit.
