They did themselves proud today. New experience, and they held it on their own

And got a season's best if I'm not mistaken!

They really held it together so well. You could tell they were a bit nervous, but they pushed through and I think this skate will do wonders for their confidence going into the IE.

Also did anyone manage to catch what their quote/skater’s message on the big screen was this time?

As suspected re music changes

Figure skaters face music-rights clearance issues at Olympics

Music-rights issues have become more common since 2014, when the International Skating Union loosened its rules to allow songs with lyrics, which unlike classical music doesn’t often fall in the public domain.

Meanwhile, fellow ice dancers Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha removed “Thunderstruck” and “Are You Ready” by AC/DC from their rhythm dance to avoid a copyright violation.

“It doesn’t matter like how I feel, I just have to adapt,” the blunt and dry-humoured Lagha said. “We have no choice. So, it sucks, that’s it.

“But that’s OK, we’ll manage. There is plenty of music to skate to.”

Lajoie said the change may have been a blessing in disguise.

“It was really repetitive, the ‘Thunderstruck’ song,” she said of the classic rock track. “We really liked it, it was really fun. But when we changed it, we were like, oh OK, there’s other layers that we can use.”
