Well, I'll retain from 2016 that different look in her eyes at the short at Rostelecom Cup or, as resumed by the comment of Brit. Eurosport "It felt so confident ...like she first came on the scene...". There was no behaviour of not wanting to be there or to escape: there she was, having a great pleasure skating and wanting to show it to everybody.
I'm sure she had the same confidence for the long, but, as we know, everything turned differently from the original plan. I'm feeling like the psy burden she had before (2014 second part-2015-2016) is going away, leaving her the freedom to express at her best in her programs. So, just cheering for a 2017 that can give her lots of joy in her skating in this newly rebuilt confidence. To everybody Happy New Year!
The different look in her eye, and then radiance after she finished. Shades of Yekaterinburg. It's easy to look past her many accomplishments in just one year when her failures in the public spotlight are so dramatic. Putting the genie back in the bottle is a huge challenge. They are well along the right path and committed to the long haul.
I (and about 1,000,000 others) would like to see a video of the complete Kill Bill on youtube, a virtual FS competition without competition. She could show us the fruits of her labor, and her fans would have the predictable overwhelming reaction. If she linked it on VK and instagram, there would be a million hits in a week, more than a lifetime of competitions and shows. The Adidas commercial got more than 3 million hits, just a commercial. She could include a personal commentary on what was easy and difficult, what she liked and hated, why she chose the musical excerpts and their message, how she shaped the choreography, etc., and bring Alexei into the conversation. Sometimes changing the environment can help overcome a problem that is specific to an event, it's like going in the back door without fanfare and unobserved by the doorman. If she were pleased with the result, she could add Leningrad when she has time. She might even decide to make her channel permanent, less dependence on competitions.
:agree:

I am not a fan of Hallmark, never watch their stuffs but seriously... they should not get such reaction.
