[icewhite]

I love the combination of their costumes

 

[skim1001]

cancel this event

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Yeah they dont look to be in shape yet that twist was scary

 

[icewhite]

all the good karma was used up by the single girls

 

[Jumping_Bean]

H/K got the death spiral at a level 3 after the review so at least that was cleared up... Still doesn't explain the lower levels otherwise, but oh well

 

[Tyranid]

Nastia Golubeva is such a cutie. Alena Kostornaia 2.0

I hope this competition won't phase them any they'll show much beter results in the furure, really like this pair. Plus age 17 and 21 is very young for pairs so I hope they have a great career ahead of them.

Also, for anyone interested, this is the prize money (in USD) the skaters are getting for competing here and taking part in the exhibition:

Placement	Women & Men	Ice Dance	Pairs	Synchronized Skating
1st	25,000	25,000	25,000	11,500
2nd	18,000	18,000	18,000	10,000
3rd	12,000	12,000	12,000	8,500
4th	6,000	6,000	6,000	-
5th	4,000	4,000	-	-
6th	3,000	-	-	-

Explains why skaters are very, very willing to compete here even with tight schedules. Also explains why skaters might react quite sensitively towards losing a placement if they do not get a lot of monetary support from their federations like H/K.

Yeah, the Shanghai trophy has the highest prize pool of non-major competitions in FS. When I first found out about this tournament back in 2017, I noticed that top level skaters like Bobrova/Soloviev and Elena Radionova (she won in 2017 ) took part in it. Only later did I realize that here one can earn more money than at Europeans and the same amount as at the GP Final.

Here's the Youtube link! (The channel we used yesterday is pulling a Lombardia and so I'd recommend using this one)

Japan Open is another good example - 20,000 USD each for the members of the first placed team; 15,000 each for the 2nd placed and 10,000 for the 3rd placed team.

All of the skaters invited to Shanghai Trophy have a chance of being invited again for future editions if they keep competing (like Matteo, Hongyi and Guignard/Fabbri), and apart from the lucrative prize money, they also have a chance of gaining recognition and popularity among Chinese skating fans, which could allow for more money-making opportunities in the future. Particularly for those also competing in the Chinese GP.

Lopareva/Brissaud were clearly better, but well, ice dance will ice dance.

In your opinion (or more to your taste?).

I still think their RD doesn't quite look ready. I think the Italians were better.

Teplays have been pulled!

(Really wished I'd watched the Pairs and womens frees while i had the chance)

Already? Maybe someone saved them?

 

[yuumagical]

Any streams for today yet?

Edit: Never mind, I found it!

Major POTO alert

Edit: Not your typical POTO music, actually!

 

[icewhite]

Nope, this is the ice dance competition, Harris/Chan just went.
