Oh dear, why did they have to play this version of this song?!!

Although it's somewhat interesting that you can hear this singer's accent...usually when people sing it's hard to hear an accent.

Excellent patience shown by Yi Zhu on getting the entry just right for the3L

Your Song by Ellie Goulding, Elton John, choreo by Benoit Richaud

SP: 58.36 (1st)

I'm so happy to see Yi have a redemptive skate after the nightmare of the 2022 Olympics, this is definitely the best I've ever seen her skate. The choreography in this program is very nice - I love the 2A entry and the step sequence has some nice moments, but I do wish she would facially engage a bit more to really draw us into the performance - it doesn't help that this music is so brilliantly associated with Wakaba Higuchi.

Lovely girl, pretty dress, soppiness exemplified in the song. I mean I watch cdrama, I know they like soppiness but still....

Speaking of questionable covers...

Sorry, I'm being unfair. I was never a fan of Ellie Goulding.

But, this vesion of "Your Song" does actually work for figure skating.

That was beautiful.

So happy to see her skating so well.

What about the cat's dress?

That is so cute, the way the cat's dress matches her dress.
