I feel very honored to return to compete in this beautiful city. Speaking of skating, I had to withdraw from the Italian league because of back problems. So I had time to think about my plans and I decided to undertake some changes: new music and new choreography. Short Program: Ave Maria - Schubert - Free Program: Bolero - Ravel Already in the summer I liked the idea of ​​keeping Bolero for the Olympic year but I did not want to miss the opportunity of a new creative experience and a new challenge. In This way I have taken the liberty to choose with whom I felt more at ease. Due to the rest for the injury have not been able to feel 100% Sheherazade. Together with my choreographer Lori Nichol I decided that I love rhythm and energy of the Bolero. The Short is new. Both love Humoresque but some people liked it and others have struggled to understand the history and choreography. The new idea of ​​ying and yang of angelic purity Ave Maria, ethereal and sensual Bolero bold inspires me every day. Lori Thank you for giving me this opportunity and for the many enjoyable hours spent together on the ice. Everyone, skaters and spectators wish you a wonderful European Championship. "
