My Top Programs of 21/22: #⑨ Veronika Zhilina’s “Harley Quinn” SP ⛸ Veronika Zhilina @_veronikazhilina_ 🩰 Maria Stavitskaya @stavitskaya_mary 🎶 “You Don’t Own Me” by Grace 🎶 “Seven Nation Army” by the White Stripes 🎥 JGP Košice in Košice, Slovakia (9/2/21) 📸 @zloy_roc I’d be a fan of this program regardless, but I think to fully appreciate it, you have to know the skater. Nika has always been such a shy girl. So to see her not only come out of her shell, but to shatter it like she does here, is thrilling. I was nervous judges might be put off by the music, sound effects, costume, or brazen gestures, but they seemed to sop it up, just as many fans did. I think a big part of that had to do with how much fun Nika was having as she showed off this surprisingly fierce, flirtatious, and playful side of her personality. It’s infectious. The countdown so far: ⑬ Kaiya Ruiter’s “Opportunity” SP ⑫ Alysa Liu’s “Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto” FS ⑪ Young You’s “Les Misérables” FS ⑩ Sofya Akatyeva’s “Clouds, the Mind...” SP ⑨ Veronika Zhilina’s “Harley Quinn” SP #veronikazhilina #figureskating
