This competition’s level is higher than last year, with so many good athletes. Go for it, Kiira!
(P.S.: All the best wishes to Laura, who’s actually suffering for an injury: get well soon, Laura)
It is coming soon, I am so excite that
we can watch Kiira’s new programme, Yeah !
Thanks for the info, Northeagle.
Can’t wait even though it comes really soon
in less than one month!
I’ll update the post with further information.
Do you know if there will be a channel who will cover the competition? maybe we can watch in justin.tv
I’m just so dyyyiing to see Kiira’s new programs, costumes and music! Does anybody know ANYTHING about her programs? (Except the choreographists) One month left to wait…
FINALLY some news!!!
The figure skating universe (http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/) said in this thread http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?t=72951
“Kiira Korpi´s new programs are SP Somewhere over the rainbow, a piano version, choreo by Shae-Lynn Bourne. Opens with 3t-3t, which seems to be secure now.
LP Evita, choreo by David Wilson.
There was a test skate yesterday. Kiira is in very good shape.”
I’m so excited!!
The thread also said that Laura is injured, she fell in the practice and has internal bleeding in her hip, so she is resting right now. I hope Laura will recover soon!
How exciting to have news! And rumor has it her new dress is torquise in colour designed by Teemu Muurinmäki.
Wow! Cant wait to see that, Kiira will look gorgeous as per usual.
Hi ! Anna
Thanks for you provided the news,
Shae-Lynn Bourne and David Wilson choreo the new programs, I think that must be very well.
Kiira Korpi haven’t practiced 3t-3t at competition
for a long time, I think she must have great confidence at this season !
I can’t wait to see Kiira’s new programs !
My informations agree with those from Anna: new Kiira’s dress should be blue light coloured, designed by Teemu Muurimaki.
Well, I remember once Kiira said she didn’t like too popular and famous songs, and music too often used by many skaters: it would seems she has changed her mind, after the choice of songs for SP and FS…
I think she noticed that she wasn’t very succesful (in the world scale) with the unfamiliar songs and wants to try the popular ones, she isn’t getting any younger.
I think Over the rainbow and Evita aren’t that much used as eg. Carmen, Amelie and Requiem for a Dream and so on. They are more familiar than Agatha or Caravan but I don’t remember many (or any) skaters who would have done their programs to those songs. (Evita has probably been more popular in late 90’s?)
BTW, I really liked when Kiira had the music from Phantom of the opera (FS in 06-07 and 07-08), in that light Evita could suite to her very well – music has the same composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The only “Phantom of the Opera” I know is that one from Iron Maiden… 🙂
I’m joking: of course, nobody’s better than Anna, talking about music…
I only meant that on my uneducated opinion it’s easier to draw in audiences and make an “unforgettable” performance with music that people know, i.e Carmen, Scheherazade (well these are overused). I think it’s good that Kiira changed her programmes, even though it’s good to use music that isn’t done too much, I thought her last year’s choice of SP was a bit too weird.
