Sections 1 and 11 are on the judges side. I highly doubt that these seats will be on sale (like at Junior Nationals this February )

 

[TAHbKA]

@Ka3sha , they are on sale, just not for the all event. Thank you!

It looks like Mikhail might have finally taken up Lambiel on the offer for choreo, thank god!

Hope the Russian fed let him keep his programs the whole season through....

I really want that ridiculous circus SP for just one more season...:

I can't believe the SP they ditched was worse than the dreadful Cirque du Soleil LP.

Carmen or Swan Lake

maybe Tango or Paso

 

[zebraswan]

Only 4 days to choreograph an SP and LP? It says he still also works with his team choreographer, so I wonder just how much they were able to accomplish. Also, he says going to Stephane was his idea, even though Stephane publicly offered to choreograph for him before last season and nothing came of it (bad decision by Mikhail's team, imo). Anyway, I hope he got something decent out of it and that they will still look like Lambiel programs when all is said & done.

 

[TAHbKA]

According to Vaytsekhovskaya Gatchinski decided not to come back after all and is coaching in Mishin's group

She probably got that "news" from the Mishin Camps instagram posts/stories. He's working at their summer camp as a trainer and not as a competitive skater.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Someone other than Vaysekhovskaya I would believe that of, but even if she got the lead from Instagram, I'd expect her to validate it.

 

[Shiera]

Ok. ... one more guess, given it is Poklitaru's choreo, and "well known music piece but not associated with a story"....
"Sarabande". Poklitaru designed a great piece for 2, and! this pieces has many new, interesting elements, holds and lifts which can be used in Ice Dance..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDf84e1KpUw

I'd pay attention to this dance choreographed by Poklitaru for Ukrainian dancing TV project.
Touching story and a well-known music.

Interesting, thank you. He is doing a lot of choreo for the shows "Everyone's Dancing" in Ukraine and Russia. Tons of ideas for Ice dancers...

She visited both Mishin and the nearby Buyanova's camps

The basics of the programs were built by Misha Kolyada's his long-time choreographer, but he went to Stéphane for working on the programs and for additional input. This is how I understood him. I don't know if Misha realized that Stéphane offered to do choreography for him (his English is limited) last season. In any case, they met at NHK Trophy and also at Worlds. But Misha had not contact details for Stéphane and asked Maxim Trankov for help. It was his initiative and he wanted to work with Stéphane (and was supported by his team, at least this time). In any case, it was a good experience for Mikhail I think and he enjoyed working with Stéphane and feels very motivated.

As for Artur Gachinski, Mishin told me in Tartu at the training camp that he told Artur that it is not worth trying to come back and Artur decided to follow his advice.

You don't give up, don't you? The music (first part) was suggested by Ekaterina and Dmitri and not by Radu Pokltaru, btw. As it says in the article, I believe. ;-)

Very interesting! I believe he said it because of Kolyada and kovtun and judges

And because of the younger generation too, I suppose. Samarin and Aliev are going senior this coming season.

Will see) And what do you think about the story for the program?)

 

[zebraswan]

Every skater has to deal with competition and it's not like those two were the only thing standing between him and the Olympics (they are hardly consistent, or light years ahead of the rest of the men). You don't come back after two years and expect it will be easy to get a spot on the team. It was just probably too difficult for Artur to get all his jumps back and catch up at a time when everyone else is upping their tech content.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Having watched Plushenko come back for two more Olympics, Mishin knows what it means to transition back to full-time training, both physically and psychologically.
