This was lovely! I love Katia, shes so gorgeous! Really nice program, I love the part when she throws and catches the ribbon at 2:32.
But I must disagree with all you guys, Sashas program doesnt look messy at all! And she even does more difficulties with the ribbon. If you must compare, ask yourselves who choreographed Katias program, 'cause discredit Sashas one is discredit Katias choreography.
are u asking who choreographed KATIA's program or SASHA's? ;)
katia may have had some input on the choreography, but it's sasha's interpretation/execution of it that makes me favor katia's original program more. the overall feeling i get with sasha's program is that the ribbon was just there to "prettify" the elements, and not really add depth or character to the program. with katia, the ribbon was so integral to the overall character of the program, not just a "prettifier".
I think I actually liked Sasha's better. I think the choreography utilized the ribbon better in hers. Of course, Katia choreographed it so she certainly deserves some of the credit. Anyway, though, this was beautiful. Every female skater should do a ribbon number; I don't know why but there's just something so enchanting and romantic about a lovely lady gliding across the ice with a ribbon spiraling behind her...
i beg to differ. sasha's ribbon program completely looks messy compared to katia's. and katia integrated the ribbon so well into the program and did lots of very subtle but very difficult tricks with it. she also conveyed plenty of emotions with it that you havent seen her express before.
sasha just did her usual tricks and the ribbon just looks like an accessory in her program. at some point, sasha almost even tripped with the ribbon. really messy and unnecessary. with katia's, you couldnt envision the program as a whole without the ribbon. katia even performed very difficult tricks with it without having it entangling or potentially tripping her.
not in the more popular "aria" footage of sasha's ribbon program, but in the connecticut ice spectacular footage where she got entangled with the ribbon, particularly at 2:18-2:38. this was a more messy rendition of that program. nice recovery by sasha though. ;)
SO BEAUTIFUL

great combination of ribbon and ice
she really knows how to use the ribbon, or else, the routine would be a mess
but she managed to control it, so the routine was gorgeous

Wow. Watching those back to back just makes Sasha look bad.

Totally, the only good thing about Sasha's was the fact that Gordeeva choreographed it!

Dasha has said she loves doing gymnastics so it's a possibility.

I believe she is skating to Liszt's "Petrarch Sonnet."
Gorgeous program ... I saw this live in Raleigh for Stars on Ice.

Oh thanks very much! Must really have been something! I loved the Casi Un Bolero program with Katia and Ilia from that tour.
