2024 Cup of China Pairs Free Skate

Alexander always looks "ticked off." I wonder if different music would somehow help.

Doubt it. It looks like he takes it as a job he does not like.

I always love that starting pose.

Lovely to Triple Twist start with.

Camille was a bit close to the boards for the Triple Salchow, and just about had enough room to do it.

She then fell on the Triple Toe.

Next couple of elements were good, though,

Mark says he loves the entry into the spin. I agree. And the spin went well for them.

Double hands down from Camille on landing the Throw Triple Flip.

But no problems after that! Throw Triple Salchow in particular was beautiful.

Well, they both look a LOT happier when they met their coach at the boards than they did that time during the Warm-Up.

Pavel sending a long message in Russian when waiting for their scores.

They go into 2nd in both the FS and overall.

WELL DONE CAMILLE AND PAVEL!!

rough skate and scary lifts...good think cacti made my heart strong

 

[readernick]

Rough group aside from Mcbeath/ Parkman. I don't know a lot about Wang/ Zhu. How long have they been together? Are they injured?

Yikes, this is becoming the Cup of Disaster in this pairs FS so far. Bless!

I guess China really needs Sui back. Where are those amazing Chinese pairs? Although juniors seem promising.

Y/L's attempt on interpreting the TES box as the Chinese flag, replacing yellow with green.

do I manage to watch both Ioulia nad Michał and Vova ? help...

 

[FlossieH]

Not sure that's going to get them the CTES for 4CC, let alone Worlds. If they don't make it to Worlds, we could end up with no Chinese pair at the Olympics.

Doubt it. It looks like he takes it as a job he does not like.

Yeah, I was trying to be optimistic. And Isabella is so invested in general - you can even see it in the KnC with both of them. I keep hoping this dynamic will improve, but...I kind of felt that in his previous partnership with Efimova as well.

Hopefully Sui can fix that but not much time for her new pairing to ramp up to that level.

i think you do, Ioulia is going to skate in about 8 minutes

 

[Weathergal]

Wang / Zu's lifts were making me a bit nervous.

 

[Karoltyna]

Ok, I'll manage, Vova is next, after the scores

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Ah, this is the other piece (after "Could It Be Magic") that is based on Chopin's "Prelude in C minor". If I remember correctly, the Piano Guys filmed the video for it on the Great Wall Of China. Because I remember thinking "How did they get a piano up there?!"

I was picturing Laurel & Hardy in "The Music Box".

This programme from WANG Yuchen / ZHU Lei (CHN) has the potential to be a beautiful programme. But, unfortunately, it didn't go their way today.

They go into 4th and last postition in both the FS and overall.

i hope he doesn't bomb at home, i have him in my predictions against my better judgement

Is Ioulia wearing the same dress as yesterday?

 

[cocteautwin]

Anybody knows what happened to Cheng Peng and her last partner? Are they injured or have they split?

 

[elektra blue]

Is Ioulia wearing the same dress as yesterday?

i think we can guess her favourite color

 

[Karoltyna]

Hehe, Vova just finished, no
