That lift better have been changed

 

[ChillSkate]

Emily & Spencer look stunning as always

 

[Karen-W]

That lift better have been changed

I have to wonder how ballsy they are. Gamble with not changing it and pray the tech panel here is as lenient as the one in Chongqing or change it knowing he may not be able to execute it properly at all.

 

[Lilia A]

Mark explaining the requirements of a Lasso lift. Can't wait for this first performance.

 

[Sally1214]

Did Mark just say that Spencer Howe was studying to become a military chaplain? The things you learn when you listen (kind of) to the warmup commentary.

 

[Karen-W]

Mark assures us that the tech panel will be scrutinizing SuiHan's lift coming up and I ask into the void of my living room "will they, Mark? WILL THEY?!"

 

[tony]

THAT WAS SENSATIONAL. Beauty SBS jumps, beauty throw, great twist, SBS spins in sync and pretty close together.

Hand was over the shoulder this time.

Wenjing Sui/Cong Han
Coach: Hongbo Zhao, Wei Zhang, Jinlin Guan
Music: Habanera

3T
Triple Twist 4
Throw 3F
Flying Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Reverse Lasso Lift 4
Back Inside Death Spiral 3 (2 after review)
Step Sequence 3

The most anticipated lift in the history of the sport - technical panel is satisfied. Significant improvement is their overall performance from two weeks ago.

74.63 = 1st Place

 

[thvu]

Wow, they look so much better, just unreal progress. The elements look so much smother and secure. I can't believe it.

 

[Karen-W]

SuiHan - SBS 3t - decent; 3tw - nice; throw 3f - solid as ever; SBS spins - messy - not in synch & drifting in their spacing between positions; lift - I mean, his hand was above his head then came down & back up really fast as he lifted her - I'm betting the tech panel is lenient; BIDS - fine; step seq - sharper than at CoC.

Overall, this was certainly sharper than CoC overall, but I'll be really curious what the tech panel does with that lift.

 

[Ka3sha]

HOW do they do that? Just mind-blowing


And you definitely can see that she is doing a PhD in Sports Rehabilitation and Health Management

 

[skatfan]

Loved it. They have improved so much in two weeks!

 

[floridaice]

That was great.

 

[Lilia A]

Nice. Very nice. They'll give them the lift.

 

[floridaice]

HOW do they do that? Just mind-blowing


And you definitely can see that she is doing a PhD in Sports Rehabilitation and Health Management

She has a wealth of first hand knowledge of Sports Rehabilitation

 

[tony]

That hand was way over the shoulder. I'm sure it's not easy for him

 

[floridaice]

Nathan Chen inspired costumes

 

[tony]

Just wow. This team is going to be the real deal very soon. More smooth than their teammates already yet with the same power and fearlessness into everything

 

[Braulio]

[Ka3sha]

I just love this team. Have loved them from the beginning, but the move to Savin/Klimov did wonders to them

Hope they win everything there is to win in the future

 

[skatfan]

Terrific skate!
