Day 21: Team Johnny or Team Evan?
I am team Johnny all the way. Evan is a very talented skater but he is an extremely rude and arrogant person. You would think I would be biased because he is from my skating club and went to my sister high school but I have met him several times because I have been in shows with him. All the other skaters would sit around and talk to us but he just turned his nose up and ignored anyone who tried to talk to him apart from the people he already knew. Having fans is a really big part of being an athlete and especially in skating because if you are struggling through a program and you ahve the crowd behind you cheering you on and clapping to your music it is far easier to fight through those 4 minutes than it would be if no one in the crowd likes you so they just sit there quietly letting you fall through your program until you finally give up and stop trying.
Johnny is a great person and has an amazing personality. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t like him because is he so sweet and kind.
Go Team Johnny!
Day 20: Favorite Olympic Moment
Tara Lipinski’s reaction to her free skate scores at the 1998 Olympics
Day 19: If you could marry any figure skater who would it be?
I would marry Yuzuru Hanyu because he is adorable. Daisuke Takahashi because he has such a great attitude. Evgeni Plushenko because he is such a beast.
Day 18: Favorite skating music
I have skated to a lot of music that I enjoyed. I skated to the movie music from Anastasia (similar to Tara Lipinski’s 1998 sp), I skated to a mashup of Taylor Swift’s Love Story and Coldplay’s Viva La Vida on Piano (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfH2BY5pdLw). I also enjoyed a lot of my synchro music including Shout! and The Copa Cabana.
I choreographed a program to the main theme from Howl’s Moving Castle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owddukdxFv4) which was a lot of fun to work with. I also really enjoy working with the songs from How to Train Your Dragon and the Charlotte’s Web main theme.
Those are just some of the music selections I like. There are hundreds of others but it would be silly to go on listing more.
Day 17: Least Favorite Skater
Recently it has been Brian Joubert because he continues to use the same music and program over and over again which should be an advantage because you should be perfect at it but now I think it’s just kind of boring.
For some reason I really don’t like Akiko Suzuki. I can’t explain why there’s just something about her skating style that I don’t enjoy.
