Wow, huge improvement in english skills, for her and Liza :agree:
I hate to be mean, but I am not really happy with the direction Eteri and Averbukh have taken Evgenia... the SP miming is too abstract in a couple moments which makes it puzzling(I prefer last year's SP)... and the FS voices in the step sequence are cringy(because I can hear GWB talk about airplanes... he's the music without voices, could they find something else?)(though overall, I really liked it at the Japan Open). Both show a level of social/cultural autism that I"m starting to get tired of seeing in Russian programs. I'm worried that Eteri and Averbukh are a bit becoming parodies of themselves.
Which brings me to why I'm saying this... please, don't bring programs like these to the Olympics... one of the reasons(outside of the obvious) that Sotnikova drew so much ire is that some of her choreography was too abstract and baffling... don't repeat that same mistake.

We will see what happens next year, Zhenya will also be a little bit older so the choreography may change. It takes time to mature as an artist, no matter how good she is technically.
I won't comment about the program, figure skating makes me superstitious
but the dress is beautiful and here's a "little" something from the practice

Also, she's really a sweetheart:

What a wonderful free program from her! Great start for the season.
I have to say, I never understood when people said that they are fans of a certain skater. I liked watching figure skating, but I was detached from the athletes themselves. That changed when I saw Evgenia in her last juniors season. And she keeps improving every year since then, and not slowing down. Truly, she proves that she is very special.

There's very little abstract in these programs. Most of stand up sequences are display of very specific actions. If anything, these programs are too specific rather than too abstract, so this critique sounds rather misplaced. As for "social/cultural autism", I can see how anything breaking out of the norm of the current very stale state of popular culture can look wrong. In the world where everything is just a rehash of a rehash, a provocative program like Evgenia's FS can look like an inadmissible audacity.
I do think, however, that this program succeeds at what it sets out to do, which is to take you out of your comfort zone and sharpen your perception. It will definitely not be liked by everybody, and some people will cite not liking it as an excuse for dislike towards the skater motivated by other reasons, but one thing it will definitely not be is yet another nice generic program in sport drowning in nice generic programs.

looking for this thank you
Art on Ice
Evgenia skated a wonderful program today, maybe not flawless, but with lot´s of heart and a message to all of us.
I so like how her programs always relate to the real world, she is not skating in a fantasy world, but reality and her programs are still magical.
On ice, she is art and off ice, a normal kid who likes Sailor Moon, isn´t that fantastic? Yes, she is the best skater in the world right now and the one to beat and guess what, the success of the past year, has not gotten into her head, she smiles and claps for everyone, is good friend with many others like Ashley and it saddens me deeply that there are people in this world, who can not appreciate this, due their heart of stone. The Canadian crowd, however, loved her and so did I!
The compositions of her programs always amaze me, as they are so different to a lot what we can see and she is not afraid to put a triple combination late or as seen last year, all jump elements at the end. Besides that, she always tells her story, never goes out of character and yet possess the ability to skate into all directions, while making it look totally smooth and effortless. Her turn with the leg held up, is a trademark by now, just like other skaters have theirs and I see it as a special moment when these elements are performed and our Alaine had a wonderful & unique spin there as well or Satoko who changes direction during her spin - it´s just wonderful how all these skaters have so much to give!
Well done Evgenia and thanks for always lighting a fire in people!

Congratulations Zhenya on winning Skate Canada! She is breaking the one-season-wonder Russian tendency with a bang! 
And it was so sweet to see her cheering for Misha, Sasha and Yuzuru (she is such a fan of him :laugh) on Twitter, she is an amazing, sweet sweet girl! (not that we didn't know it before!)
I wonder which program she'll do as her EX?
And she must have a significant Sailor Moon collection after all the gifts she receives every time she competes!
