And it seems Shen/ Zhao made a press conference on 21st.
One of articles have the name of Shizuka in the list.

It's understandable that Shen/Zhao invite Shizuka to their show. I heard that they are friends. I read somewhere that she speaks a little bit of Chinese. It seems Shizuka is also good friends with Pang/Tong. I heard they became friends during COI tour. She invites them to her show "Friends on Ice" every year.

The official website of the ice show updated the skaters list.

Now the skaters list is the same on the official website and the ticket ‘s.
Wondering if the skaters list has been finalized?

Articles about this show are not only in Chinese, but also lots of them in English and Russian.
Hopefully they televised the show in the world.
Hope the show will be succeeded.

The lineup is amazing, but that's not many skaters in a show though, i wonder why they didn't invite more skaters?

[Mendi]

Ah, so excited that I'll be in Beijing for it, especially Yagudin!

[Jaana]

I wonder if Lysacek has cancelled his participation, because there was earlier the info that he will be doing a show in China? Or maybe the date of this show was not okay for him after all?

Maybe some people remebered the name of the show; "A-r-t-i-s-t-r-y on Ice", after all ...

The event, organized by the Chinese Skating Association, Shanghai Dragon TV and sponsored by Artistry, the cosmetics brand of Amway, aims to promote figure skating in China.

Wow. Mao must feel honored participating in this show. She might feel a little bit nervous feeling the responsibility and how important this show is for Shen/Zhao and figure skating in China.

[DORISPULASKI]

Hello everyone,I'm from Beijing,China.My English isn't very well,but I'll try my best to bring some informations from the show

1.first of all,"Artistry on Ice"isn't the real name of the show,"Artistry" is the label of a cosmetics company,which is the main sponsor of the show.It may has none bussiness of the art."Artistry" is the transliteration of chinese word pronounced "Yazi".

2.the real name of the show is "figure skating World champion Show"，maybe because all the cast have a World champion of Olympic medalist(except Weir)

3.usually the details will announce a month before the show,so we may see more informations in the early August

Hope you can understand.I'll pick some tips from the press conference soon

[NONKO]

Thank a lot for the information!

[luCN]

tips from the press conference

Those English articals contained nearly all the words they said in the first part of the press conference.So I only pick some tips from the second part about the cast.

about lambiel "we are all very familiar with him","Lord of Spins"

about mao "world champion and Olympic silver medal","very popular in Japan"

about weir "He's score isn't as good as others on the list","but he has some unique point","people think he's the male version of Lady GaGa"(actually they made a mistake here to say "female version of Lady GaGa" LOL)

they said they will ask someone else who is more fit this show to add on the list.

Thanks for the information, yaoyao.

Really glad they are considering all of fans in the world.
Thanks billions, Shen and Zhao!

I think a lot of fans will go overseas and see the show

Is there any seating chart?

Shen&Zhao have transformed the original stadium seating arrangement, so that the audience can be more close to the skaters!

Thanks.
I think the seating chart is very strange.
Anyway there is no way to buy ticket from abroad, so my friend booked the ticket instead of me.
Do you know where the official hotel is ?
