Maybe because Yang is 10 years younger than Wang and possibly in better shape, injurywise? And is also a pretty good skater himself with arguably better speed and lifts than Wang? Anyhow, my question wasn't whether Peng should try out with Yang, but whether she ever has tried out with him, to...

Question ... Were there ever any rumors about Cheng Peng and Yongchao Yang trying out? I'm just curious, because he's a lot closer in age to her than Lei Wang.

I spoke with Flores/Desyatov at Nationals about their season: https://adivinesport.com/2024/05/01/isabella-flores-ivan-desyatov/

So, “Him Fa” is Adam’s Chinese given name, or “first” name in a Western sense?

@livetoskate Adam said all that in English. He is very fluent! 😊 (Which I’m grateful for, as my French is not good enough to do an interview.)

Yes thank you 😊

An interview with Bruno Marcotte, which has a little bit about Bombardier/Mimar: https://fs-gossips.com/riku-miura-and-ryuichi-kihara-it-was-a-very-tough-season-but-even-in-that-situation-we-were-able-to-support-each-other-and-move-forward/

I spoke with Bruno Marcotte at Worlds to get some updates on Miura/Kihara, Bombardier/Mimar, and Kam/O'Shea: https://adivinesport.com/2024/04/25/bruno-marcotte-its-going-to-be-important-for-miura-kihara-to-push-the-envelope/

I have a new interview with Adam Siao Him Fa on my web site: https://adivinesport.com/2024/04/19/adam-siao-him-fa-i-want-to-skate-in-a-way-that-no-one-did-before/ I will hopefully have a bunch more stories coming soon from Worlds (and one or two still left from U.S. Nationals--cough, cough :D).

Check out my new interview with Adam Siao Him Fa--he talks about how he got started in skating, his artistic & technical growth, why he thinks the backflip is important, and his future goals. :) https://adivinesport.com/2024/04/19/adam-siao-him-fa-i-want-to-skate-in-a-way-that-no-one-did-before/

Yes I’m so glad people mentioned these apps! Thank you. Definitely saved at least a half hour in line yesterday!

This Bekker/Hernandez interview is interesting, because they talk pretty candidly about how it affected them to miss out on a Junior World bronze medal by 0.06 points--with the loss being due partly to a technical call that was questionable (to them, anyway).
