number 2)
Yeah, I checked i花滑, they're on the score list, but she doesn't seem to have a video.
I tried to cram a rewatch in before the free skate, but honestly I don't have any thoughts, I am just happy China has three potential pairs after P/J.
a job at a corporate just so their coach and Sun's mother can't make him skate with her anymore...
is 4th, and we're probably going to be "treated" to them for some more years, maybe at least till she turns International Junior age...
Yeah, it was a vague question on my part, sorry. I meant it more like "Is Hongyi going to even be allowed to throw her name in the selection pool for the GPs at all, even if there's a host spot, with this finish, or is she just skating for pleasure and to maybe make bilibili videos about it?" I don't think anyone's going to pick her if she's okayed to register for the senior GPs though, unless, as you said, CoC host spot exists.
))Looks like Cfed has their heart set on making Zhang/Yang the firm number 2 this season... they were saved by their lead from the short (imo, slightly overscored), and somehow won despite aborting a lift entirely in the free... To be fair Wang/Jia did lower their sbs jump difficulty. Still, Zhang/Huang's PCS is nonsense, they shouldn't be significantly behind Wang/Jia in any category... I also agree that Wang/Jia is kinda lacking in performance. Their 3FTh is still one of the most frightening yeet and pray Chinese throw of all time and always seems like a complete dice roll on whether they land it or not.Zhang/Yang 181.64
Wang/Jia 181.09 (wow, awfully close)
Zhang/Huang 169.26
Good top 3, prefer Zhang/Yang and Zhang/Huang to Wang/Jia though. Zhang/Yang and Peng/Jin should be able to hold China Pairs up for a bit.
yesterday (which were apparently from last year). The girl's going for world champion yall and doesn't sound like she'll settle for anything less... her (or her mum's, idk) comments was stuff like "yes I want to be world champion" and "yes I want to be even better than the world champions, what's wrong with that?". Umm sure dream big but maybe get an age-appropriate partner first?? And when people said that watching made them uncomfortable her reply was "don't watch Sui/Han then, they also have a 13 year age gap" like WHAT. I would really like to know how old she thinks S/H are...
Would be the biggest age controversy ever.
I'm fine with Zhang/Yang winning here, even though they had a bad lift. Their program is better, their SP performance was much better, and they're the better skaters overall, even if she seemed kind of nervous here.
Zhang/Huang aren't going to be number 2 or even number 3 for the next few years at least though because they can't compete internationally ?
I did forget about the international age eligibility criterion, so I guess we're only going to be seeing P/J, Z/Y, and W/J for the next two seasons (and what's remaining of this). But I'd still rank them the same way in terms of pure talent within the Chinese pairs for now.
No way they'll go back to Luan Bo, internal politics... they would burn too many bridges and neither of their affiliations would allow that. Luan Bo is at Qiqihar now and P/J are Harbin/Beijing.
But if they don't even have a coach, what is the point? Maybe they'll skip 4CCs, but this is so disappointing. No bronze in 2019, no world medal yet again in 2022 even though it would have been a cake-walk, and now seemingly no coach? In fact if their federation had allowed them to build momentum, they'd have contended for an Olympic medal last season too, they were underscored in both the team and individual events.
