A bit of costume controversy arose during this event.

There are a number of skaters using music from the film "Schindler's List" this season. One of them is Anton Shulepov of RUS (who married Alena Leonova earlier this year). His choice of costume created a lot of negative comment. It is hoped by many that he will change it before his next GP event, the NHK Trophy.

Thoughts?

Yes, for sure this can be felt as disrespect for the victims of the Holocaust.
