Oh, I love this black dress. I've always liked a square neckline.

I think it’s navy blue, but I agree. She looks lovely. He looks like he couldn’t figure out what he wanted to be for Halloween and tried a few things at the same time.

The dress is fine, it just doesn’t go with his “outfit.”

I now think of you every time.

 

[Aceon6]

That was one insecure lift! Brave girl.

 

[Colonel Green]

This is almost in slow motion.

 

[Kateri]

I do like the programme, and they seem like they care about the music. More skaters should use music in their own languages! Connection to the music matters way more than what international audiences might recognise.

 

[thvu]

There's alot to like about Wang. Nice extension, she can hit really aesthetic positions and has really great movement. Zhu on the other hand...

 

[Gris]

Their lifts are scary.

 

[Lizziebeth]

this team is very cautious and he looks pooped and is skary on the lifts

 

[marbri]

The dress is fine, it just doesn’t go with his “outfit.”

I wonder if it relates to their music. She may be the Lake Baikal and he is maybe the night sky?

 

[Wyliefan]

That was the roughest ending ever.

 

[Kateri]

I wonder if it relates to their music. She may be the Lake Baikal and he is maybe the night sky?

I wondered if he was the shore.

 

[Lizziebeth]

That was the roughest ending ever.

Hey, they (she) lived through it

 

[Primorskaya]

Phew I'm relieved that's over, was getting scared towards the end. Pairs and exhaustion don't go well together.

 

[Spikefan]

I think Jin needs to give Wang a call.

 

[Simone411]

I'm just thankful she didn't fall during that lift! That would have been difficult for any skater, IMO, and I'm proud of them for pulling if off!

Wang, Yuchen/Zhu, Lei
Coach: Tianci Zhang
Music: On the Shore of Lake Baikal

3T+2T
3Tw 1 - poor catch
2S @airgelaal
Throw 3Lo
Throw 3S
5 Reverse Lasso Lift 4 - getting to one hand was awkward
Back Inside Death Sp 2
3 Lift 3 - struggled with the carry, transitions of position
Pair Combo Spin 3V
Choreo Sequence
4 Lift 4 - that was almost death on ice

They completely ran out of steam at the end. The throws were the highlight.

89.40 = 2nd Place
139.35 = 1st Place

 

[Sally1214]

Were Wang/Zhu really as slow in person as they looked to be on my screen? Those lifts were crawling across the ice.

 

[skatingguy]

Valesi, Anna/Piazza, Manuel
Coach: Ondrej Hotarek, Luca Dematte, Rosanna Murante
Music: Chasing Cars

 

[Primorskaya]

His staring dazed face in KnC

 

[skategal]

I love the red sparking costumes.

Very festive!

I love the red sparking costumes.

Very festive!

Wish the music was too

 

[airgelaal]

I wish it was Romsky

 

[Wyliefan]

He was tilted in the air, but she's the one who stumbled!

 

[Frau Muller]

Italians skating to Roman Sadovsky’s whining theme song.

 

[thvu]

Valesi's air position in those axels...

 

[Aceon6]

Reminder to self… group 1 provides the same level of entertainment as the opening laps of Indy car. No crash = little to talk about.

 

[honey]

I’m somewhat ashamed of myself that I really do like the cover of Chasing Cars that this ends with.

 

[Wyliefan]

"If I just LIE here," please. Ungrammatical song lyrics make me grumpy.
