Chen Lu's "The Last Emperor"
Chen Lu, 2-time Olympic bronze medalist ('94/'98) won her first and only World title with this beautiful freeskate to music from "The Last Emperor" soundtrack. I read that "Lu-Lu" worked with esteemed Canadian legend, 1976 Olympic bronze medalist, Toller Cranston, on the choreography of this program. Cranston did a marvelous job in packaging Lu-Lu into a sophisticated, poised, well-balanced skater. Lu-Lu was always a very strong skater before but this program definitely elevated her into the realm of artistic skater. I really enjoy the musical selections and the unique choreographic elements.
