Great job, @clairecloutier!
Excellent interview - thank you!Here is a new interview I did with Emilea Zingas & Vadym Kolesnik:
![]()
Zingas and Kolesnik: "We're here for the long run" - A divine sport
U.S. ice dancers Emilea Zingas and Vadym Kolesnik talk about his move from Ukraine, how the war affects him, and their partnership and programs.adivinesport.com
(I can't find the U.S. Ice Dance thread, so I'm putting it here!)
I really don't understand why. I think their previous FD (music) was fine, not a warhorse, but dramatic and appropriate for their strengths and style of skating. Maybe they and/or Zanni thought that such a well known music as 'Rain, in Your Black Eyes' would have more of an impact.Mrazkova/Mrazek changed their FD music
Rain, In Your Black Eyes by Ezio Bosso

My guess is that the change is due to copyright problems. The ISU channel showed their FD without music during the GP France.I really don't understand why.

Right.I forgot about that.My guess is that the change is due to copyright problems. The ISU channel showed their FD without music during the GP France.
Yes, it was good FD music and would have stood out in the field. I've been waiting all season to see how they would do once the GP host politics were off the table, and now they will have a newbie or untailored program. Le sigh.I really don't understand why.

I'm cautiouslydave lease mentioned on his post US Nats video tonight that the RD might potentially be changing next season due to music licensing. Mentioned it might be changing to a classical theme and that skaters are already talking about it. He talks about it in the first 5 minutes of the video.
I only have 2 words for this - THANK GOD!dave lease mentioned on his post US Nats video tonight that the RD might potentially be changing next season due to music licensing.

BRILLIANT!If the IDTC had any sense, they'd absolutely go back to something like a waltz or ballroom theme for the RD next year.
If any of them are reading this... Do you know what debuts in January 2026? The next season of Bridgerton. It will be top of mind for many Olympics viewers and they may very well be enamored by ice dancing that evokes a 19th century ballroom. You should capitalize on that to drive a potential viral moment.
look if the isu is really looking for something to get the attention of social media a team that fully commits to the absolute camp of a polka program would do numbersPolka.![]()
There is not a single ice dance team competing today that would properly lean fully into the camp of a polka rhythm except Orihara/Pirinen.look if the isu is really looking for something to get the attention of social media a team that fully commits to the absolute camp of a polka program would do numbers
i'm willing to give them a chance and see who can do itThere is not a single ice dance team competing today that would properly lean fully into the camp of a polka rhythm except Orihara/Pirinen.
I think it's a split.I'm thinking about our current top 4, and I actually think the waltz is further outside their wheelhouse than the polka.
Well, now I NEED to see what he'd give CPom for a polka season.The one thing I can still rememeber from the one Polka season we got in 2012/2013 was Scott Moir complaining that he had to do a Polka.
