World Championship bronze medalist Elena Radionova believes that programs focused on 21st century music will attract new audiences to figure skating.
Earlier, the head of the International Skating Union (ISU) Sean Rettstatt, in an interview with Sports.ru, said that the theme of rhythm dance for the 2025/26 season is music of the 21st century.
— Cool idea, will attract a new audience, time moves forward, nothing stops. The 2025/26 season with a new rhythmic dance theme will be very interesting. I will be curious to see what our dancers come up with.
But there will also be difficulties: rhythmic dance is a compulsory program, one must understand the boundary between an exhibition number, a show program and the main program. Skaters must maintain balance.
— What piece would you like to see the program for?
— I can’t name a single composition, there are a lot of modern performers, a lot of cool music. The idea is very important, it’s not enough to skate to a catchy track, the main thing is that it looks like a small performance. Of course, it will be difficult to do this in two minutes, but I’m sure they will cope, now there are a lot of creative directors, coaches work well. “I’m looking forward to it,” Radionova told .
The 2026 Winter Olympics will be held in Italy.
