Caro. She was just so awkward when she first appeared on the scene, like a newborn colt. And then she kept winning Euros and I was like, oy. De gustibus and all that jazz. But the last 3-4 years of her competitive career, she turned into the epitome of dancerly elegance.
I see a similar trajectory for Polina Edmunds.
First thought, Pogorilaya's Rise Like a Phoenix. Before I thought she was a boring, disconnected skater, now I think she's an interesting, expressive skater trapped in a boring skater's body. It gave me hope it'll come out some day as she gets older.
Does it count if I changed my mind after a few hours?
I didn't started this thread but I think it doesn't matter
