Chinese skating news & social media updates pt. 5, 2023 onwards

[On My Own]

Provincial Teams (Funding, National Winter Games 2024 competitions and medals):

Province Name	Skater(s)(Discipline)
Beijing	Chen Yudong (Men), An Xiangyi (Women), Li Ruotang (Women), Tong Ruicheng (Women), Wang Yihan (Women), Gao Shiqi (Women), Zhang Ruiyang (Women)
Guangdong	Dai Dawei (Men), Peng Zhiming (Men), Xiao/Wang (Ice Dance)
Heilongjiang	Jin Boyang (Men), Zhang/Yang (Pairs), Chen/Xing (Ice Dance), Li/Wang (Ice Dance), Liu/Ge (Ice Dance)
Jilin	Tian Tonghe (Men), Wang/Liu (Ice Dance), Lin/Gao (Ice Dance)

Is this list accurate? Jin competed for Beijing in the team comp, and seems to be competing beijing again in the individual event. Peng/Wang are also competing for Beijing, never knew their affiliation, although I know they're training in Beijing.

I can't access the official results or protocols, can someone direct me to them?

My thoughts on NWG’s pairs and women

1, Luan Bo's team is a pleasant surprise, all of their junior teams nailed triple twists, throw 3F, and FoDs perfectly in the competition. Without a doubt, a reckoning force in the next JGP season.
2, women's single skating is the most exciting field right now in Chinese figure skating, there are more than ten skaters who can do triple-triple and 5 different triple jumps in their programs. Shame that Team China skipped WJC this season, wish they could have some Junior B events to attend next season.
3, Happy to see Nini gradually back to form.

They really dragged her through the mud till her very last competition then...

It's such a shame that there are not enough JGP slots to go around even for pairs next season. They all deserve to get two assignments and now it's very possible that some might not even get one...

 

[On My Own]

Luan Bo's teams are pleasant, but not a surprise Remember, she's the one who produced Sui/Han and Yu/Jin...

So now we wait fingers crossed that 👁👁/ won't be sent to worlds.

THIS is probably what keeps me awake during work this week. Hope ISU release the entries asap. The deadline is today right?

Worlds entries sre due 8pm ET today, so we should see the initial entries either tomorrow or Wednesday.

I don't think we need to worry about that team going to Worlds.

I think CFed probably sent the expected entries a while back, and listed some subs just in case. I mean, the winners of Pairs and Men were obvious, and they didn't have anyone who qualified for ladies...

Since it was actually Jilin's sports management that was trying to keep 👁👁/ around and the CFSA that supposedly suspended them, I'd hope the entry are Chen/Xing.

Will Team China lose JGP spots due to not sending anyone to Junior Worlds? Shame that politics between China and Taiwan got in the way of sending athletes.

Yes. They'll be allowed 2 spots total for Women, Men and Dance, and 3 spots total in Pairs.

 

[shirleyfryeburg]

Will Team China lose JGP spots due to not sending anyone to Junior Worlds? Shame that politics between China and Taiwan got in the way of sending athletes.

Yes. 2 entries for JGP (maybe 3 for pairs?) in each event next season. It's gonna be quite interesting to see how CFed pick their JGP entries this year.

 

[On My Own]

Shame that politics between China and Taiwan got in the way of sending athletes.

There is no evidence of this. And do mind that since much of this was coming from PRC netizens' side, it's likely that this rumour was meant to target Taiwan.

Well...

Worlds entries

 

[On My Own]

I wish my expectations had been in hell.

Just for the record, I didn't even see 👁👁/ in gala...(ETA: NVM they were there...) I sincerely hope this is just a visa thing for Chen/Xing and they'll be subbed in if cnetz cry foul for long enough and the process is accelerated for them.

I really need Chinese drama to quell gods.

Well the top comments on this about them aren't positive (mostly shocked/ funny? calling them "asia's number one" which I think is a mocking reference to how they were foolishly marketed for long/ saying it was expected because they're asia's number one? IDK). Let's hope someone out there listens. One person did point out the possibility of a sub.

I truly doubt 👁👁/ will actually go to Montreal tho?

Well I hope you're right.

 

[Karen-W]

Eh, it doesn't really matter. Wang/Liu aren't that good this season and might be lucky to make it to the FD given how deep the overall field at Worlds is. Only 20 teams make it to the FD after all.

rapist doesn't get to compete at any competition

 

[raruki]

If any victims whistleblow about any sh*tfu*kery that Liu Pao did right before any competition, he might suddenly get an illness right before any competition and could pull out of the competition like what he did in Last year 4CC and he suddenly said he got asthma right before the NWG.

Does Lei have a baby??

Does Lei have a baby??

Yes. He's been married for a couple of years now. But his wife is very supportive of him coming back to compete full time.

Could someone explain why those icons came to represent who I think they rerepresent?

 

[On My Own]

BTW, just realized the top 2 ladies, Shuxian and Xiangyi, are ethnically Korean.

I mean should be obvious. (ETA: @raruki's Liu Pao is pretty perfect though lol)

is me being sarcastic about Wang because she was 炒cp till November last year but I'm sure we're supposed to pretend these allegations (some of which involve herself) come as a shock to her. Basically, caught red-handed, and going like "well, this is awkward". (That particular set of emojis can means something like "shocked woman" or "this is awkward", used by tiktok gen women when texting about themselves when in such situations)

 

[Aceon6]

So the literal translation is “it’s awkward skating with this POS”

ok perhaps a more appropriate question should have been: what do those emojis mean? (Esp the first one)
I don’t use emojis beyond the common ones here at fsu

As expected, Wang/Liu has been replaced by Chen/Xing. Wonder which "disease" Liu suddenly gets this time.
