Nice skate - I wonder if they can make the free skate at Worlds this year.

Q 49.79 = 2nd Place

 

[Sally1214]

Oh, I liked that from Isabella/Aleks. The lift was great. Nice music. She sold it. Good job.

3S<<
So why not clean SBS 2S?

 

[miffy]

Aww the 3s was downgraded

 

[Aceon6]

Lilac isn’t Peng’s color. Can we give a costume deduction? Shame about the SBS.

 

[Wyliefan]

Great throw. Pity about the jumps.

3T< - he fell

-1.00 = Fall (1)

A solid skate. His jump doesn't look any better, but many of their other elements are stronger than they were earlier in the season. The position in the lift causes death in my soul.

Q 60.18 = 1at Place

 

[miffy]

He’s 35?! which probably means he’s 38 knowing China.

 

[Vagabond]

He’s 35?! which probably means he’s 38 knowing China.

Either that or 32.

 

[Citlali]

Too bad the sbs jumps, love this program for Peng and Wang

[Sally1214]

Shame about the fall at the start. Otherwise, Peng/Wang shone. Throw 3lp was HUGE! Like them a lot.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Bonjour/Good Morning from Franco Eastern Ontario. Nonagenarian polyglot father's ears perked up when I mentioned that the skating was happening in Shanghai. He's now muttering to himself in Mandarin.

 

[Aceon6]

Our first whickety whack outfit of the day… and it’s his.

 

[Vagabond]

That lift position!

 

[Aceon6]

“Footwork” a little sus, yet Chris thinks they had good interpretation. Frankly, I didn’t see any pretty in that skate.

 

[skatingguy]

Siyang Zhang/Yongchao Yang
Coach: Lun Song
Music: Wu Shu (Wu Kong) by Gregory Tan, Iliya Zaki

3 Twist 3 - poor catch
2T - she doubled, he two-footed
Throw 3Lo
Hand/Hip Lift 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4 - synchronization issues
Step Sequence 3
Forward Inside Death Spiral 4

This team is still all kinds of sloppy, and she still doesn't look like she wants to be out there.

Q 55.70 = 2nd Place

 

[Aceon6]

Now we make-a dee eys!

Nonagenarian polyglot father is enjoying pronouncing "Siyang Zhang/Yongchao Yang"

 

[Sally1214]

Lovely death spiral to finish the program. Zhang looked pleased with their efforts, Yang not so much.

 

[victorskid]

"Battle Royal"

 

[miffy]

Wheee it’ll be a battle royal, thanks Chris

 

[PRlady]

I was annoyed the only event taking place at a reasonable time was Pairs but of course it’s China. And after watching the first group, much better than US Nats, I actually sorta care who wins.

 

[Sally1214]

I'm seeing a LOT of empty seats! Are the Chinese not buying tickets to skating either? Was the arena this empty for both women and men SPs too?

 

[skatingguy]

That applause is being piped in, right?

 

[Desperado]

I’m here and caught up! Off to make breakfast as ice gets resurfaced.

 

[airgelaal]

No SBS 2S so far

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

So generic ballads in Chinese are just as tedious as the ones in English.
