[MacMadame]

Now that was a nice pairs spin

This is the cheesiest music ever.

LOOK I HAVE BEEN ASKING ALL YEAR AND NO ONE WILL ANSWER.

WHY IS SPENCER WEARING A SPARKLY BAG?????

He's a ghost? A sparkly ghost?

Now I'm imagining Spencer wearing a bedazzled bedsheet with holes cut out

Can't believe the 3S+2A+2A went green. I wanted to review all of Emily's jumps. Then down on the 3T which is reviewed .

The base value from the sequence will be enough to keep them ahead absent major reviews.

This team never quite skated up to their potential, but I'm glad they got over whatever personal issues they were having to get to the Olympics and perform respectably.

It's always interesting to compare the "we did it faces" when they finish and the Ashley Wagner face when the scores come up.

You made me google it...

There are so many wonderful musicals out there that skaters have not discovered. Why do they seem to only know Phantom, Les Mis, the complete works of Andrew Lloyd Webber, the Lion King and... Ghost of all things.

Good for them! They just fly across the ice. I hate these costumes, not that anyone cares what I think.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Can someone please delete all copies of Unchained Melody from coach and skater's hard drives/cloud storage/whatever. I would take Exogenesis over it at this point.

Chan/Howe - They are lovely skaters. I will now promptly forget them until the next time they appear at a major international event.

Lots of happy skaters in this event. Hope the top teams can be as well.

Honestly, I'd prefer it. At least it would be hilarious.

 

[Messalina]

So happy for Emily and Spencer!!!!

Really spectacular lifts and such speed. Lovely.

A super respectable Olympic skate.

 

[PRlady]

She spent the first two minutes looking like she was at the dentist but turned it on towards the end. Still awful music.

 

[Karen-W]

ChanHowe - soooo nervous - SBS 3s+2a+2a - omg! they landed them! SBS 3t - and she falls; 3tw - beautiful; throw 3lo - her free foot hit the ice; first lift - fine; throw 3f 0 landed! BIDS - elegant and right into their combo spin - best of the night so far; second lift - fabulous; choreo seq - beautiful; last lift - gorgeous.

Oh my goodness! That was the best they've skated that FS all season! I am soooooo happy for them!!!!!

 

[BittyBug]

That’s the best Chan and Howe have skated all season. If that’s their farewell performance, it’s a great way to close out their career.

Emily Chan/Spencer Akira Howe
Coach: A. Letov
Music: Ghost The Musical

3S+2A+2A+SEQ
3T< - Emily fell
Triple Twist 4
Throw 3Lo - two-footed
Reverse Lasso Lift 4
Throw 3F - tight landing
Back Outside Death Spiral 2
Pair Combo Spin 4
Axel Lasso Lift 4
Choreo Sequence
Hand-to-Hip Lift 4

The opening jump combination was very good, and the second double Axel was not on their planned content. The rest of the program was a bit mixed with the fall on the second side-by-side jump, but some nice pairs elements as well.

SP: 70.06 = 9th Place
-1.00 = Falls
FS: 130.25 = 1st Place
Total: 200.31 =1st Place

 

[Skaterbob]

So proud of Emily and Spencer!!! Great jump sequence!

Don’t forget Chicago and Cats
ETA: Cats is ALW too, non?

 

[tangerine dream]

It seems like Emily Chan has been skating for 30 years and she's not even that old. And, she made it to the Olympics. Perseverance.

I know, I remember when she won the US novice and junior ladies titles more than a decade ago.

Yesssss!! Here’s our selfie we took

Congratulations Aaron you have been inducted into the harem.

 

[miffy]

I'm glad they had a good skate, early errors aside - their quality is a lot better than some other pairs, and their expression and speed were both great.

Don’t forget Moulin Rouge

 

[Private Citizen]

3T definitely <. Don't think she'll get away with a q.

 

[peibeck]

Chan/Howe seemed a bit out of synch with each other that whole skate, but other than the sbs 3T got everything done fairly well.

 

[beckab81]

At least Emily & Spencer only use 1 voiceover in their Ghost Musical program, so bonus points there I guess? Best skate of the season for them!

I'd get a kick out of someone skating to Heathers the Musical.

Chan/Howe - They are lovely skaters. I will now promptly forget them until the next time they appear at a major international event.

I suspect that might be never.

 

[Skaterbob]

This is the cheesiest music ever.

And yet people still skate to it over and over and over again it’s like they all wanna be in that clay pot scene.

 

[Sally1214]

He's a ghost? A sparkly ghost?

You know, I never thought of a ghost (even a sparkly one) as absolute "eye candy" but ......

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

This is the cheesiest music ever.

And we have it from Gubanova coming up.

 

[Citlali]

Sooo happy for Emily and Spencer

 

[slicekw]

Chan/Howe have really become a sentimental favorite of mine over the years. They were better at Nats, but they got it done with only a single fall. Their lifts and pairs spins/moves are exquisite.
