SP: 'Spart......

SP: In This Shirt

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

^^^ At least Camden's program is choreographed by Josh Farrris (again).

Same source (Hersh's PFT article) mentions Karen Chen "chose an expanded version of a short program to Katy Perry’s version of 'Rise' that Drew Meekins had choreographed for her to use this season."

How Elizaveta Tuktamysheva and Juri Smekalov built her new Free Skating - International Skating Union

Samokhin is probably keeping his SP, there is a chance he'll keep the LP as well (not decided yet)
