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:
The tackiness of this costume is distracting my from what actually happened in this program.



And finally, no Swan Lake post could be complete without these:

  1. LOL @ Polina Shelepen

    Am I the only one who actually genuinely liked Ashley Wagner's LP last season? Perhaps it isn't necessarily the best Swan Lake program per se, but I felt it worked if one judged it as a Black Swan program instead....

    1. It's not that I don't like it, it just feels so forced to me. Ashley is a great actress out there, but I don't really get the same feeling from her as I do from Sasha. I think Ashley's program this season suits her much better, even though I don't really care for certain sections of it.
