Did someone skate to "A Transylvanian Lullaby" before? Did she also announce choreographers?

I think Yuna might have skated to it in junior level.

And her choreographer is of course Lori nichol

I think Caro can rock her choices,but It seems that Lori has no shame and does instant music recycling, lol, Lori Nichol choreographed a SP for Zhang/Zhang last season to A Transylvanian Lullaby.

Here is an interview with Carolina that was aired yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXpkcRRVg8E&feature=youtu.be

She said she watched her teammates compete at the Grand Prix and sometimes missed not being there but in the end she enjoyed her longer break. She enjoyed watching some skating on TV once ;-)
She got her programs choreographed by Lori Nichol in September only (a couple of months later than usual) and she still has some work to do.
The Bolero has always been on her mind but she never felt that she was "ready" enough and had the courage to skate to it. And even now in practice, it is a very challenging piece to skate to.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to seeing Caro's interpretation of Bolero.

Great, thanks for the news! Where did you find the entry list?
This means Carolina will have two competitions before Euros (Golden Spin & Nationals). I hope there will be videos of Golden Spin, I can't wait to see her new programs!

Thank you! I wonder if Yuna will really skate there? Doesn't she debut at NRW Trophy in the beginning of December?
If she competes at Golden Spin as well, the competition would be :watch:

Good luck to Carolina, I hope she can continue her momentum from last season and I can't wait to see what Lori and her came up with!

[spikydurian]

Happy to hear Caroline is still competing. She 's a beautiful skater. Good luck to Caroline on her competitions.

[dinakt]

I hope Carolina comes to Golden Spin. I miss her a lot.

[seabm7]

I heard Yuna Kim will compete in Golden Spin just in case she could not go to NRW Trophy.

[FunnyBut]

LOL, Golden Spin will be the most anticipated competition of the season, more so than GPF :lol:

So funny story - I'm actually going to be learning Mozart Piano Concerto in A Major (the one that Carolina used for her Free Skate) for a competition!
