Czisny starring in 2009 Festa on ice (4/24-26)

- It was confirmed today that Alissa Czisny, instead of Rachael Flatt, will go to Korea for the event. I personally wanted see Flatt in an ice show, but Czisny is fine as well.

Here is Johnny Weir's greetings:

- Yu-Na Kim said to the reporters today that during the show she will perform a new number to "Don't stop the music" by Rihanna and choreographed by Canadian Sandra Bezic.

Here is a clip that shows Yu-Na Kim practicing part of the new program:

Thanks for the video clips.

I would guess that Rachael did not want to do the Korea show because it is too close in time to the Team Championship in Japan.

I heard her school didn't allow it, probably because it was not a competition but a show.

Wow. Choreographed by Sandra Bezic!!! I'm so excited!
Of course I've always loved David Wilson but I wanted Yuna to try various choreographers so I'm all happy.
BUT. How am I gonna watch this?? Is it gonna be televised? Is there gonna be any live stream?

Flatt has college entrance board exams next week and could not miss those.
