About the program
Efimova and Mitrofanov skate their free to music from Rosalía's Lux album, ending with Berghain. Fans on r/FigureSkating counted them as the first pairs team on it and joked that Rosalía is this season's warhorse, with about seven programs.
Its best score came at Skate Canada, their first event after injuries cut into preparation. The free scored 121.58, third in the segment, and they took silver on 191.90. The twist and both lifts reached level 4. Efimova stepped out of the Salchow sequence and underrotated the triple toes. Mitrofanov said, "We know we can skate better."
Fans hoped the intense music would draw more emotion out of them, though some found the choreo lift clunky in Kelowna.
