Good idea, it’s a dramatic program and Misha would do justice to it.

as a short it would be explosive and he could also showcase his improvements in interpretation

I'm going to go against the flow here and say that I think Mikhail needs to find his own identity as a skater at the moment, rather than doing something so closely associated with a previous skater. The time for tributes is later, once he has really established himself.

Good point, he is trying to find his style as a skater apart from his amazing technical skills. He could always skate an exhibition program to honor Denis.

Looks like someone on Team Shaidorov knows last season's SP is much better than this season's SP - they are returning to it.

 

[elektra blue]

the right choice

Good. This year's SP hasn't really been working and the judges really have not been buying into it.

I'm really sorry to see Misha struggling this season. I imagine his successes last season brought more pressure. But there are achievements to celebrate, from winning at Denis Ten, to medalling at both GPs for the first time and going to the GPF under his own power instead of as an alternate.

Am I the only one who liked his SP this season better than Dune? I liked Dune, but now that it's back it looks toned down. I enjoyed the high energy and contemporary dance moves of his new SP. It looked like a big improvement in performance for him, both programs do, and I haven't heard commentators give him one bit of credit for it. I liked both of his SP costumes too. The first was conventional but looked good on him. The second was unusual, kind of feral, but I thought it was great. I also think his black FS costume looked great on him, very elegant and sci-fi (not always a combination that can be pulled off). I do not agree with commentators that he has watered down the choreography. I don't see it! Commentators usually don't mind if someone has little choreography if they skate in a classical style, even more so if they have good skating skills. That's my rant!
