Yulia Lipnitskaya

The narrative Sam supplied is interesting--does it extend to other moments when she also drops her hand?
It's not only interesting, it's heart-breaking. And embarassing for me personally.
I've been watching it for million times and I didn't correlate that beautiful position:

Notice the position in the end of ina bauer, it can't be more obvious... :rolleye:

ps. thank you for your posts sjid, your point about Yulia's arms movement in connection with the pitch had been insightful to me as well :agree:
 
i was thinking they should make her 2011 russia nats exhibition into a program. she only performed it once and it was an error-ridden improv skate. iconic song with lots of meaning and back-story, and a rightly sombre/moody piece that would have her clad in black this time. its a piano instrumental of russian rock band Kino's 'Cuckoo.' Wouldn't match Schindler of course because that had the iconic red jacket and all, plus people are not familiar with the backstory of 'Cuckoo', but it would be a good followup anyways, or at least for a short program. (Kino was legendary russian rock/punk band whose iconic frontman died young in a crash, 'Cuckoo' was found on a demotape in the car & released after his death. song was incidentally about death, with singer asking a cuckoo clock "when will i die.").

Either way i think the best approach to finding a suitable followup to schindler would be to start with music that has iconic backstories or symbolism and determine which would translate well into a skating program.
ManLady, I can't get that melody out of my head, it's so beautiful!
I'm not entirely sure if I'd like Yulia to skate to it in her LP this season, but I'm sure I want her to skate it sometime in the future again!!! :yes:
(gala???) :)
 
The latest post they still can't decide what music and theme should they use for new LP. So they are asking fans for their ideas.

uh-oh... sounds like a crisis...

lol i think they need to have a composer re-arrange it and use it as an lp. with some strings, a slower tempo, and some other embellishments it could be a massive piece of music suitable even for an lp. here is the original song if curious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJn0MWJPRMY

I don't know. There is a chance she'll skip Finlandia,although I hope not, and have two full months to develop her FS for the GP. She probably has moves already planned and is still just searching for the song to which they fit best,

How cool would her 2a-3t look after her Ina Bauer. :love:

She still has more than 2 months for the LP so I hope she will be alright. Anyways of course Eteri knows better. :)

This is Eteri's interview

She says they have a long program but probably they will change it.
Seems that Julia doesn't feel it completely. That's why she was asking her fans for advice.
Btw suggestions are no longer accepted on her VK page.

Julia has plans to skate at Japan Open but now because of the difficulties with the long program she might withdraw from the competition :unsure:

According to coach champions of the 2014 Games, figure skater until there is definitely only a short program for the new season

MOSCOW, July 24. / Correspondent. ITAR-TASS Artem Kuznetsov /. Sochi Olympic champion in figure skating team competition Lipnitskaya Julia in the new season debuts on a one-day commercial tournament Japan Open, which is traditionally held in early October. As told ITAR-TASS correspondent coach 16-year-old athlete Etery Tutberidze start of the new season will be postponed only if any program, on which is now actively working Lipnitskaya not be prepared in time.

On Thursday skater turned to the fans through social networks to help her choose a music track and supporting the idea of ​​an arbitrary program for the upcoming season.
"Approximate competitive plan is there, but without any program it can easily fall apart - told Tutberidze. - The idea is that the first time his free skate Julia must skate on Japan Open, but if we do not have time to prepare for the launch, it will not. Later we plan performance on stage Grand Prix. "
Coach told me that continues with the search for new ideas skater for any program, but so far not like the proposed Lipnitskaya her options. "Basically, we already have a free program, but we have not concurred. Therefore, most likely, will change it," - she said, noting that her pupil and is now quite difficult to find a setting that would correspond to the program theme from the movie "Schindler's List", which was successfully held last season.

"Create better is not possible, so sometimes we need to try to find something else", - noticed Tutberidze.
In last year's productions programs participated world champion in ice dancing in 2002 choreographer Ilya Averbuch. It helps Lipnitskaya in the new season, but in finding the images he does not participate.
The spokeswoman said that while there is only certainty in the short program, but to tell about her coach is not ready. "Julia is old enough, held athlete who should talk about their own programs," - said Tutberidze.
As regards the participation of figure skating fans in the choice of themes for any program, then Lipnitskaya personally review all suggestions and ideas. Private rentals where Russian skaters showcase their new programs, traditionally held at the end of August.

I don't think it's neccasarily a bad thing that she isn't happy and willing to try and fix her FS. One of the things we love about her is outspokenness and she is apparently excercising it but it will take time to develop a FS dress and if I remember right her Mom has made all of her costumes. Tick Tock Tick Tock

I find it interesting that Ilya isn't a part of the concept this time or maybe it's just the new concept that he isn't a part of. We may see a program mostly influenced by Yulia herself. Very interesting.
 
I love Sibelius Valse Triste for Yulia. And this is one of the most beautiful animated pictures I've seen. I always cry when I see this. :cry:

I will be too much though having a sad music, again. Anyway the topic seems to be closed now.

It was the same with Shindler right? She chose that music.
She has to feel and be convinced about what she is skating, so it's a good thing to try and find something else she can love. She has to skate the program for a whole year.

Ilya Averbukh said that LP is finished and Yulia is working on it now, and they are supposed to meet in a week to make final decision. Music is beautiful, the program is lively and with interesting idea. Both Ilya and Eteri like that program, but Yulia has some doubts. One of reasons is that the music isn't worldwide hit like "Shindler's List" is. Yulia can't fall in love with the image she is supposed to portray.
 
Ilya discusses Yulia's new programs

Ilya Averbukh:Interview

It's in Russian so I translated it and cleaned up some of the wording as best I could. Feel free to correct my misinterpretations if you find them:)

That Lipnitskaya appealed for help to the fans, I do not see anything wrong
Julia Lipnitskaya appealed to fans through social networks to propose a new idea for her free skate.
Lipnitskaya Julia, the youngest Olympic champion in the history of the Winter Olympics, whose programs last season, "Do not deny loving" and "Schindler's List" and will look to revise, perhaps many years, appealed to fans through social networks to propose to her the idea for a new any program.

Like last year, the program puts Lipnitskaya famous choreographer Ilya Averbuch. The fact that you have to face difficulties was probably obvious. And the burden over the skater, and over her coach and choreographer hung on waiting for new masterpieces, understanding that in any case can not lower the bar.

And excessive desire to do something extraordinary would have serious creative research. As a result, on the page fan club Lipnitskaya "Vkontakte" entry appears as follows:

"We appeal to you for help: halfway through the summer, and Julia and her coach did not choose the music and the concept of the free program for next season.

Short program is fully ready, and Julia she is very happy, but with her free program she and her coach can not decide. So Julia really would like to see in the choice of music and ideas for her new long so she asked for halo from her official group members "

Ilya Averbukh, with whom we contacted by telephone and who is now abroad, as it turned out, did not even know that Julia will appeal to fans:

- For me, this news - Ilya admitted. - In fact, free program, as well as short, we already set, and we parted with Julia on the fact that within a week it will be a new wheel in an arbitrary and then we will meet and make a final decision.

- Something doubt?

- This is a very beautiful music, and the program itself, in my opinion, quite bright, with an interesting idea. I like the program, coach Julia Etery Tutberidze too, but she doubts ...and Julia is partly questioning the music, which is not such a world-renowned hit as "Schindler's List." It has not yet fallen in love with the image that she was offered, and agree that it is very important. Because this program to roll it, and in order to make it as, Julia must fall in love with what she does. With all the short program in this regard in order, Julia took her completely ... And with any ... Well, let people be offering other ideas, I have nothing against it, in the "Ice Age" that happens not infrequently, it is normal I do not see anything wrong with that. I'm always open to suggestions. Eventually, Julia became our national heritage, and in a sense it would be logical if finding ideas for her long program will take part from many people.

- You say, a week will make a final decision. Who will take it?

- We want to show any program management federation, to hear the views of experts, after which a decision will be made jointly by Eteri, Julia and me.

- As you were basically setting? With Julia is now more difficult than last year, or for some reason it is easier?

- Much easier. Julia has matured, the music has deeper and thinner feel. She is in great shape, well rested, she was given a large enough vacation and a half months to recover and recover from such a heavy, exciting Olympic season. While on holiday her mood is very watched, it did not quite an ounce. So working with her a pleasure.
 
Alba is right, music is a huge issue especially for Yulia. Yulia has a rare musical gift. But she has to feel deeply for the real magic to happen. Even if she could push aside her integrity and work with someone else's choice, no one around her is on her level musically. It's up to her because so much comes from inside. As Sam notes, tick tock. Another major source of tension.
 
I just hope our ambitious Yulia doesn't want to outmatch Schindler's List.
I have all faith of the world in her, but it's almost impossible and unnecessary.
It's only her second season of senior skating, she doesn't need to make revolutionary impacts every year. :confused:
