This was 2006

Dan Zhang forever! ?

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

This was 2006
You arw safe!

not enough sleep. thanks!

 

[Jeschke]

The exit of the lift, so good!

 

[her grace]

Great arm positions from Shen in that lift.

 

[Hanna]

10 years later and that was still so good!

Loved the lift and how she came out of it on an LBI edge.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Just now remembering that this was when death spirals had to be weird to get levels.

 

[her grace]

Questionable death spiral. Glad we don't see that position anymore!

 

[alchemy void]

I like this version of Who Wants to Live Forever.

Awesome elements. That lift.

 

[ChelleC]

I will fight anyone who says Shen/Zhao are not one of the all time greats.

 

[Jeschke]

I always felt for Zhang/Zhang back then.
They had such good momentum going into thes season.
Then the comeback, shitty programs by Zoueva and disater season!

 

[RoseRed]

I really like her dress, but his shirt is a choice

Questionable death spiral. Glad we don't see that position anymore!

The foot grab on the death spiral was one of the worst COP inventions, and yes, thankfully has gone away.

 

[Kateri]

I wish they had used a more powerful version than this anodyne-yet-screechy violin, but S/Z are my all-time faves. I was so scared for them, I was sure they'd be disappointed yet again.

 

[Colonel Green]

This is another storied comeback that is in some ways on the level of Aljona's 2018 gold.

 

[Jeschke]

Slay Sergejeva/Glebov!
I rooted so hard for them back then.
I guess mainly due to his looks

 

[skatingguy]

Shen/Zhao are so wonderful, and I have watched this program so many times. I love the moment in the footwork where she stops and holds, and he comes by and grabs her arm - this is Lori Nichols genius.

 

[skatingguy]

Frosted tips - how very 2010's

 

[alchemy void]

I will fight anyone who says Shen/Zhao are not one of the all time greats.

Would anyone event attempt that argument?

 

[Jeschke]

Why did they vanish so soon back then?
Someone knows?

 

[Hanna]

Sergejeva/Glebov I wonder what happened to them! This is actually really nice, so many lovely pairs just disappeared over time.

Morricone

 

[Jeschke]

I loved the Vancouver boards.
Nice design and colours!

I think they're back in style, no?

Really? She seems like your type of skater.

 

[Kateri]

I think they're back in style, no?

No.

 

[skatingguy]

I think they're back in style, no?

I don't think they were ever in style, but they have returned.

 

[her grace]

Sergejeva/Glebov

Nice attempt to match the footwork steps to the music
not so great at jumps and throw

 

[Jeschke]

Really? She seems like your type of skater.

OES guys >>> blonde OES chick unable to land jumps!
Tough call, I admit.

 

[Colonel Green]

The throws where she lands it at first and then falls afterward are the worst.

 

[alchemy void]

I loved the Vancouver boards.
Nice design and colours!

I really like the design too. But sometimes it distracts me during...errr...less engaging programs.

 

[Jeschke]

Was She-Glebova too at the Games?
