I'm kind of side-eyeing the Tango SP a little bit, didn't Lori have her do that Come Together tango program with Zhang just last season? Of course, it could be a great program with Jin. I wonder if they might perform their new programs at WTT then.

There's a great new translation of a quite long and informative interview about the current state of Chinese pair skating. I believe this was shot right before this year's Worlds. Chinese pair skating - unlocking the dilemma: interviews with Hongbo Zhao, Sui/Han, Peng/Jin, and Yu/Zhang

She's not injured and I doubt she's ill. Zijun actually posted about a "conspiracy" yesterday on her Weibo, but she's since deleted that post. Today she posted: "I worked hard for so many years, for what". One of the heads of CSA gave an interview a few hours ago. According to them, Zijun's...

Wasn't Zhao Ziquan out just a few days ago? And now she's back in? The Chinese forums are already speculating that Zijun's been dumped.

Yay! I hope there's some interesting music choices involved ala last season.

But 179 cm is just shy of 5'11". I think you might've gotten a bit mixed up there.

....So because it's his duty to try his best to compete at a home Olympics it's suddenly okay to trample on the lives of his teammates. I'm quite disgusted. By him, by Hongbo as well, though that's been a gradual thing for a while now. He justified the split by saying that besides S/H, China's...

I believe she's referring to when Wenjing Sui competed at Four Continents after hitting her head on a quad throw attempt and couldn't see out of one eye.

Oh yes, I remember this. Evgenia or Vladimir (I don't recall which) posted a pic with Gazsi on instagram, he was doing a gala program for them.

Smirnov's entire look is iconic.

Wow, clean FS run through.

Yay Mirai!!

I'm so sad to hear about this but still I guess I knew it was coming. Taka and his skating has always been very very dear to me and I'm so grateful that he's stayed around and given us so much, even with all the injuries and disappointments. I'll miss just how different he was; the quietness and...

Durian is the absolute worst. I had it blended into a smoothie once because I was curious and the aftertaste is something akin to rotten onion. There's also bitter melon which I can't understand why people like. Besides that, Chinese cooking is the greatest!

No words, incredible!
