Russian Olympic champion Julia Lipnitskaia addressed her fans in social networks with a help request. Young figure skating diva is looking for ideas for her new free program. She asked internet-users to send her their suggestions and help her with music choice.

An announcement occurred on official fan club group of hers in Russian social network “vkontakte”: “A half of summer passed by, but Julia and her coach still hadn’t managed to choose music and a concept of free program for the next season. The short program is prepared and Julia is very satisfied with it, but she and her coach still cannot come up with free program. That is why Julia would love it if members of her official fan group helped her with ideas for her free program and music choice.”

Not only fans of the young figure skater but also simple users of her internet portal and even mass-media paid attention to this announcement. The administration of the community later published new information, claiming that there was surprisingly big amount of suggestions.

“We suggested you to leave your comments on what exactly musical part of Julia free program should be like. The point is that our idea to question a broad range of users gained much higher publicity than we had expected,” the statement on the portal said.

The community administration noted that they “haven’t predicted such publicity” they said that they “wanted just to receive some ideas from users and guests of the group, not to engage all network users who have interest in figure skating.” They confirmed that it is Julia and her coach Eteri Tutberidze who are to be concerned with staging and character working out.

In the end reception of proposals from fans has been stopped. The administration of community encourages those ones who did not manage to submit their ideas, not to be upset: “We are confident that the opportunity to share their vision of the Julia’s image to be provided.”

At the Winter Olympics in Sochi Julia Lipnitskaia performed with free program under the soundtrack of the movie “Schindler's List.” This image of hers she invented by herself, and many directors have refused to bring this idea to life on the ice. However, Olympic medalist in ice dancing and the famous producer of ice shows Ilya Averbukh decided to risk it.

According to “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” newspaper, it will be possible to find out would Lipnitskaia use any option of those proposed by the fans, in late August. At this time, traditionally open skates of Russian Figure Skating team are held before the start of the new season.
