'Pretty dark for a 15-year-old': Russian skater's choice of music at Olympics generates buzz [video]

The Russian Phenom couldn't have topped last night. Then she used John Williams' Schindler's List theme & took it to another level. #unreal

Does it freak anyone else out that the 15-year-old Russian figure skater uses the Schindler's list soundtrack as her inspiration?

@AlyssaRosenberg @Max_Fisher I & others are situated to find the Putin games more terrifying than weird.

"Get Spielberg on the horn! Stevie baby, you seein' this? Girl's a star! And not a yellow one! Say it with me: 'Schindler's List: On Ice'!"

@Lisibelle87 Schindler's List. Hence the red coat. I wept. She's the high point of the games!

Figure skating to the Schindler's List theme when people cheer is a bit unsettling to me.

Interesting choice of Schindler's LIst music & costume for Lipnitskaia. Not sure how I feel about it #Olympics2014

As lovely as Yulia Lipnitskaya is, having trouble with the Schindler's List theme. #thinksheknows?

Schindler's List music and a red trenchcoat? You stay classy, Russia #Sochi2014

For those who haven't seen the film Schindler's List, the red is significant, which to me made it even more emotional.

This skater is performing as the girl in the red dress from "Schindler's List." This is a real feel-good performance #Olympics

Schindler's List is some pretty dark music for a fifteen-year-old skater. But my goodness, she's exquisite. #Sochi2014

My fave moment of Yulia's "Schindler's List" free skate. #olympics2014 https://t.co/c9ibsmJka2
