Yulia Lipnitskaya

Let's say Yulia continues through 2018. What do you think should be her Olympic Season programs? I'll go first:

SP: Liebestraum, Fantasie Impromptu, Dark Eyes, or go back to You Don't Give Up On Love (a new interpretation would be interesting as she has changed so much).

LP: Swan Lake (Sasha can have R&J, but I think this music belongs to Yulia if she really wanted to go for it), Rachmaninoff, Romeo and Juliet, Firebird, a non-Schindler's John Williams piece.

Ex: Schindler's List? XD Fight Song, or BRING BACK KILL BILL.

Even though I've grown more used the idea of vocal programs, I personally think she should go for something timeless...some may call them warhorses, but they aren't called the classics for no reason. I think Yulia's Olympic programs, especially Schindler's List rank amongst the most iconic programs of all time...right up there with Mao's Rachmaninoff and Yuna's Bond. I think she has the potential to get back to that level again. I mean this year's programs were great for her, but they aren't that memorable...but Yulia is definitely the memorable type when it comes to skating.

I would LOVE to see Yulia interpret Nina Sayers ('Perfection' Black Swan OST/Swan Lake mashup). I don't see her as Odile or Odette, but Yulia as Nina...would be everything!

Something gorgeous with lyrics: 'Конь''Horse' (Пелагея & Дарья Мороз version)....the lyrics are gorgeous and I think the song wouldn't be too difficult for Yulia to interpret.

Something fun with a little fight: 'Duel of the Fates' (Star Wars I)

Something dark and dramatic: 'Passacaglia in C Minor BMV 582' (Le Jeune Homme et la mort /White Nights)

Something Ghibli: 'Princess Mononoke main theme'

Spin Maestro! :dance2::rock:

People should really start naming spins after her...

Her biellman shall be called the LipNeedle, and her I-Spin shall be the "I in the 'Skaya." (Get it? ;)) :biggrin:

Bonus: her flat layback can be the LiPancake. :p

I think it should be called an iSpin and Apple should pay her every time she performs it but I'm 200% sold on the LipNeedle!

Ok ....so when I see this photo I can't help but laugh but I can't tell if it's the cat or her as a cat that has me laughing the most. I'm inclined to think for some reason that cat is actually very hilarious :laugh:

I've never seen this video before. I'm digging the part where Plushy is yelling at Yulia to get over there and join the crew!

What is Plushy saying when Bobrova reaches up and touches Yulia's head and the music kicks in for a brief second for some reason?

He is asked to say what he could say/advise to Yulia, and he says "well, she knows all this herself, she can do anything, she is a genius, and she has *then nothing can be heard because of music* like all our team." Then the commentator addresses to Yulia "Plushenko has called you a genius, is it time to stick nose up in the air and be off with it?" Yulia: "No! It's just the beginning!"
