Just a personal opinion, I think it is about time that the Chinese Skating Federation pair Cheng Peng up with someone else. The age gap between Cheng and Hao is becoming more and more glaring to me. There are times in the routine when they are performing that I simply cringe. I don't feel that way when I watch Yu/Jin or Wang/Wang, that is because they are close in age and they match each other really well as pairs but Peng/Zhang just cringes me. Peng would look really nice if she is paired with someone her age.
I read in an article somewhere where Hao Zhang said he wants to continue skating to the next 2 Olympics, my immediate reaction was, please..........have some dignity, just retire and coach or something, you have much to give in terms of teaching pairs skating........let the young ones do it.
Why was Tatiana and Maxim twist level 3? What was wrong?
Tatiana and Maxim will barely stay on the podium, Olympics gold medalist. ahahahah
The way the russians are treated is just... omg.
Ksenia and Fedor the GPF winner, won't be on the podium just because the event is in Boston and the skating order will not allow them to make big scores. From a fan of this couple, this is disgusting.

Sorry, they were NOT okay. Okay is when you have a minor error.
They had a full on FALL, and got a personal best SP score.
That is a problem. :disapp:
Because of biased judging. Almost as sickening as ladies...almost.
PCS should go down with a fall but almost never does, let's be honest here. V/T would've likely scored the same PCS with a fall.
But here's the thing. They didn't skate as well today as they did at the Olympics two years ago.
Someone asked how Sui/Han developed their chemistry, translator talks for a while, Sui says something short, translator: Uhh, she just told me they have no chemistry.
Maxim is super impressed with Sui/Han, complements D/R's technique. Says competition is more interesting since they came back because the field is so deep. Less concerned about medals now because they have all the ones they want. Also looking to start a family after 2018, maybe
Reporter clarifies to Sui/Han he wasn't talking about romantic chemistry , repeats question. Maxim warns Sui "careful, sometimes after press conference families happen"

The competition is not over and any thing can happen tomorrow!
Fyodor and Ksenia twist was not good. Fyodor is little injured, they can still win tomorrow if they skate like GPF.
Tatiana and Maxim had perfect twist but she doubled one of her landings. They had the best compo score! A medal for them any color is good they were away 2 years from competition.
I never look at scores I enjoy good routines. This is a subjective judging sport you should just do your best and forget about judging.
So just enjoy
Good luck to Tatiana and Maxim tomorrow
And also don't be sad tomorrow free ladies and Russia does good in this event.

And the crowd were kind to both teams too.
First of all they are the Olympic gold medalist and the skating order is always so cheated: an Olympic champion ALWAYS is the last to skate or at least behind the current world champion,…
It is? I thought the skate order for the short program always went by ISU ranking points.
I'm laughing so hard at the drama that's started again in this thread. Now the skate order is a conspiracy too?
@TatiMax, thank you for being such a great fan and member of GS. Even though your favorites are not in first, you're not upset or making ridiculous accusations about unfair judging! I' glad you're enjoying the event and the performances.
Ah so can you explain me why Gracie or Ashley skated after Elena?

In short program ,world ranking determind the group they are going to skate but the order within group is random.
For example in single the top six will skate in last group but no.1 in ranking might skate before no. 4.
