US Figure Skating Champion Ashley Wagner Unveils New Program Music [VIDEOS]: Will Prokofiev And Pink Floyd Propel Skater To Olympic Dreams?

Two-time national figure skating champion Ashley Wagner has unveiled her new programs for the Olympic season, and they couldn't be more different from each other.

For the short program, the 22-year-old will skate to Pink Floyd's "Shine on You Crazy Diamond," choreographed by Shae-Lynn Bourne.

"Shae-Lynn is probably the sexiest woman alive, and I wanted to do a short more on the edgy, sexier side," says Wagner.

"She is such a performer and brings a unique perspective to skating.

Working with her has really pushed me; I feel I've learned how to perform a little more. That's what skating needs: competitive programs that are entertaining and fun to watch."

After two strong seasons with choreographer Phillip Mills and coach John Nicks, the figure skating queen is finding new voices with new programs, as well as her new technical coach Rafael Arutunian.

"My triple-triple [triple flip-triple toe] hasn't been consistent for a reason, and I knew I had to go to a technician. And I enjoy working with Raf so much; he has so much knowledge. What he says might not make sense to someone standing on the side listening, but to me it's so clear," continues Wagner to Ice Network.

And having the technical content for the Olympic season will be Ashley's greatest challenge, who finished fifth at this year's World Figure Skating Championship.

"[Not having] the triple-triple, I think, is what holds me back. Maybe my jump quality needs to improve as well. It's consistency in general."

In addition to a technical tune-up, Ashley will also be skating to Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet" for her free program, choreographed by David Wilson.

"David is a phenomenally creative person to work with; throughout his programs, there is always something to kind of catch your eye. He kind of took my skating to another level. He's given me a bit more of an understanding for music, phrasing and expression. It's those little details that can make a huge difference."

"The past few seasons, I've portrayed strong women. This year, it's strong music, and the story definitely comes across, but it's a totally different character."

With a new coach, two new programs, Ashley Wagner seems poised to grace the Olympic season with style, and hopefully a few more medals around her neck.
