Loving the schedule here. Ice dance for breakfast, get the shit done I need to get done for the Singles events and then Pairs for lunch. And I still have the whole day ahead of me

 

[Frau Muller]

After Shanghai Trophy, my heart’s been with Peng/Wang to deliver the high-quality elements of olden times!!!
But…
How will Diva Deanna fare?
And the Germans?

An exciting discipline here.

 

[Colonel Green]

Excited to see Peng back.

 

[skategal]

Did he forget his costume?

 

[Wyliefan]

Emo Godfather, just what I needed in my life.

 

[skategal]

Emo Godfather, just what I needed in my life.

Is that what that is? Lol

 

[Colonel Green]

Nice individual triple toes, albeit completely out of sync. Which seems to define a lot of this program, as it goes on.

I’ve liked Yuchen as a pair girl ever since watching her soldier through some truly disastrous junior pair programs.

 

[Wyliefan]

That was one limp lift.

 

[airgelaal]

Oh, Padrino

 

[marbri]

It's somehow fitting that the only positive GOE they got was for the death spiral.

 

[Aceon6]

Ouch. One lone tree seems to have survived the fire.

 

[skategal]

Only one green blob.

 

[rfisher]

I've mostly skipped pairs because I just can't with the quality of pairs competing on the GP, but that may have been the worst pair skate I've ever seen short of someone getting a serious injury.

Back to skipping pairs.

 

[Wyliefan]

I'd like to see her dress in a deeper purple.

 

[marbri]

As soon as the music started I went to confirm that Lori Nichol was the choreographer, and sure enough there she is listed

 

[skategal]

I love Peng’s dress.

 

[Wyliefan]

Nice throw!

Well thanks for stopping by to share that

 

[Colonel Green]

Good start for them.

Program is kind of a nothing, but it’s early days.

 

[miffy]

Meh. That was fine. It was good. But I miss Peng/Jin.

 

[tony]

Some choreography that matches the music quite well. I don't know how I feel about the music but those little nuances were nice!

 

[skategal]

Oh wow! I really like them.

Lots of potential here and they command your attention.

Look for good things to come from them.

 

[Frau Muller]

Peng & Wang did NOT let me down!

 

[Sally1214]

Liked that from Peng/Wang. Twist was off but everything else went well. She is wonderful.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I like the potential I see in Zhang/Yang.

Then they hit the side by side spins.

 

[Wyliefan]

Oof. Those spins just died.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Those spins were so messy

But overall I really liked this team, they move well together.

 

[skategal]

Gorgeous twist!

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

He was giving a lot of face in that ending pose. Thanks slo-mo
