Swans

Over the years, many skaters have chosen to skate to music from Swan Lake. This has brought forth many different music selections and cuts, however, Swan Lake is one of those programs that either works or doesn't. Here is my take, in as few words as possible, on various Swan Lake programs.

Sasha Cohen:
Yes

NO

Mao Asada:
Yes

Rika Hongo:
NO

Adelina Sotnikova:
Yes

Miki Ando:
Yes

Ashley Wagner:
Not really...

Polina Korobeynikova:
Maybe...

Kanako Murakami:
Maybe

Polina Shelepen:
NEVER.

Daisuke Takahashi:
Always

Shizuka Arakawa:

More in the coming days...
