Veronika’s performance is absolutely magnificent. You’ll get emotional watching some artistry from one so young.
Veronika Zilina is a 10-year-old ice skater from Moscow who’s enthralling audiences with her poise, innocence, and grace. The performance that grabbed worldwide attention was the ice dancing she did while the song ‘Hallelujah’ sung by Alexandra Burke played in the background.

However, with her exquisite movements that perfectly synchronized with the emotionally gripping music, she seemed to have channeled transcendent energies in an electrifying display of artistry.
People had goosebumps watching Veronika move with elegant athleticism. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as her flawless execution mesmerized the crowd. She ended up easily winning the competition and the hearts of millions of people around the planet.
