Interesting, big leap of faith to have both programs choreographed by Giulietti-Schmitt since I don't think he's worked at senior level before. Now I'm curious what ideas are being cooked in these programs

 

[Allskate]

I had been wondering who would be the first to use the Project Hail Mary soundtrack. I'm surprised we haven't seen more skaters announcing that they were going to use it.

 

[Amy L]

I'm late to watching the NextGen competition so I missed most of the Junior Womens short program. There's one more warm-up to go so I'll try to edit with more programs.

Evgenia Lopareva/Geoffrey Brissaud (FRA)
FD: "Berghain" by Rosalía feat. Björk and Yves Tumor
From previous videos, it looks like Sam Chouinard is the choreographer.

Hmmm I look forward to this. I was wondering if anyone was going to tackle Berghain and I think this is a good choice for them.

Now I want to see someone skate to Raye Click Clack Symphony. One of the most interesting songs to come out this year and I think totally suited to a skating program.

 

[Impromptu]

Now I want to see someone skate to Raye Click Clack Symphony. One of the most interesting songs to come out this year and I think totally suited to a skating program.

I just heard this song for the first time on Friday and have been listening to it on repeat ever since. I was also thinking it would be a perfect skating program.

 

[Amy L]

Mikhail Shaidorov debuted a new program at a show recently and it's reported to be his new SP. The music is Chronos and Mechanisms by Kirill Richter.

I could see Zingas/Kolesnik doing this.

William Chan: Fine Line by Harry Styles
Travis Trang: Sign of the Times by Harry Styles
Art Tyomkin: Spanish guitar version of the Godfather theme song

A ghastly trio of music selections.

[Wyliefan]

Yes, thanks to all posting alternate links. For some reason Instagram was not letting me see the name of the choreographer of the short, so I Googled to find another link where I could see it, and the X link worked for me (which was funny because, as I said, I don't even have an account there anymore).

Just watched this while on lunch. Thanks. This brings me joy. Liked it very much. Both pieces of music went together well, there was a nice transition between the pieces and she expressed it very well. Looking forward to seeing how it develops during the season.

[program is motivated by Kaori Sakamoto and Yuma Kagiyama's gladiator programs at the 2022 Olympics]

notes: short will be very emotional, free she is playing a brave fighter, choreo spin will have a lunge, also set out very clear goals for season like medalling at an international, getting all level 4's, and specific thresholds of GOE to achieve

Yuseong Kim (KOR)
SP: Fosse selections (I Gotcha, Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries, Fosse's World: Calypso/Snake in the Grass)
Choreographer: Kaitlyn Weaver

The source is 2 long interviews they gave with Golden Skate which I will link below.

They also announce that both of their senior debuts will be at Cranberry Cup in 2 weeks (entries not out yet).
