World class choreographer David Wilson is responsible of creating Kiira’s new Evita -long program.
YLE Sport News made a story of Wilson and Korpi working together.

Kiira ended the NHK Trophy 2010 in Nagoya with a final 4th place, and a good FS; fantastic Program Components, but once again with a Technical Elements score not good enough to ensure her top positions. She realized 148,44 score, and it’s been a pity, ’cause podium was far less than two points…
Anyway, important points for one of her season’s target: be in the first six positions of Grand Prix ranking, to take part to finals in China.
Well done Kiira, we all saw the famous Finnish “sisu”!

Not a perfect performance, she’s been punished by Technical Elements: and she’s not new to this, unfortunately.
And here is the starting order for FS:

Second place for Kiira in Vantaa 2010.
Here’s the final ranking:
A global good performance, but too many mistakes in triple jumps.
Anyway… well done Kiira, Akiko Suzuki is a very, very good skater, and this is another step towards the target of entering one of six places in top world ranking.
