I think this is an interesting topic that deserves its own thread and shouldn't cluster up the one about the programs of next season.
More and more skaters announce the programs for the Olympic season and we have quite a few who reuse old themes and programs. What do you think about these decisions? Clever or lazy?
Me personally, I'm mostly disappointed in the decision of a skater to repeat a program for a second season. Shoma Uno repeats his Turandot LP for the Olympics and I think he's really grown since his debut season. Returning to that program made me feel sad, because I wanted to see something new, perhaps a different style. I also think that he hasn't been around long enough to start repeating already.
Others who repeat this season are Yuzuru Hanyu, Javier Fernandez (although this is more of a 'style' repeat, not the exact program) and Carolina Kostner.
