2023 World Figure Skating Championships Pairs Free Skate

Damn, I missed the skate. Did they do well? I see only two red boxes and they’re in the beginning so I’m thinking a mistake was made on the twist and…a throw jump? Sbs jump?
 
1) Goldberg says : surprising there are not many emerging Chinese pairs considering the amount of skaters and talent and people they have... BUT he added that one of the issue is the lack of facilities, most pairs train in Harbin in the North
Another issue I have heard is that the more promising girls get funnelled into pairs early on since it has a more prestigious reputation than singles. Ergo their great throws/lifts but generally bad SBS

And yes, just general per capita rinks etc. are much lower in China than say Russia, sp smaller pool of skaters
 
The Chinese pair really has a lot of potential. Yongchau, in particular, has an fun, outgoing personality as well. It will be interesting to see how they develop.

Goldberg said exactly this : In Canada, usually the pairs skaters do a lot of single skating as well... .meaning that they are usually stronger with SBS,
 
Much better skate from Philippine pair than we've seen so far this season.
They are quite pretty to look at too!

My type of pairs skating :p Most of my favourites have strong singles skills (Aussies, Lia/Trent)
