Things we learned from CUP OF CHINA
Darth Sunny has not seen Star Wars. :scowl:
Gaby is apparently a good singer.
Mai is cute and has good presentation skills, but under-rotated a toeloop.
Despite the fall, Yulia thought Alina needn't worry as all this is good experience for her, noting that Alina's SP is very difficult, filled with crazy steps & transitions without a moment of rest, but there are still things to improve on (like her arms/hands). She is also glad that their changed her entry into her axel.
Yulia revealed that she muted their mics during Misha's performances, because of their yelling and clapping.
Yulia says that some skaters act rudely during official practices, are inconsiderate and do not care about others who are on the ice.
Papadakis & Cizeron's Moonlight Sonata is a work of art.
Liza looked extra beautiful during her FS. Duh.
Yulia mentioned that she missed medal ceremony at COC 2014 because she didn't know, as it was not written on the schedule that she was given, and that the Chinese reps/organizers apologized to her afterwards about the incident/controversy.
Girl with plunger makes all laugh.
After 2 consecutive La La Land programs, Denis & Yulia have a discussion on who should've won Best Picture at OSCARS2017. Denis notes that Moonlight is stronger and deserved the win.
Yulia mentioned that Maxim (not Trankov) who commentated Pairs with her was yelling so much during Sui & Han's FS that he asked for permission to yell on-air, whilst watching standing up. Denis asked if Maxim tried to lift and do a triple twist with Yulia out of excitement? Yulia replied "I hid in the corner until the program was over, so no."

Skater's nickname for Hao Zhang is 'Papa Chan (Zhang?)' as he is so tall and very friendly and nice to everyone.
Madison is hot (looks a bit like Alina's older sister) and is clearly a good/not-picky partner as she "can skate with even chair"
Yulia thinks Alina can rock the tigerprint leotard, but thinks that was one of the weirdest exhibition programs she's ever seen. Denis hopes Alina didn't summon the rain god to Beijing.
Denis doesn't know how to feel about Misha's Baba Yaga EX, and the music fan in him is kind of glad the composer Musorgsky didn't have to live to see this. Meanwhile Yulia is like "Omg, what even is this?"
Yulia: "Our skaters have very weird EX programs today..."
Feel free to add more.
