2026 Four Continents Championships Free Dance

[CaroLiza_fan]

REN Junfei / XING Jianing (CHN) doing an Olè programme. "Adios Nonino" by Astor Piazzolla, to be specific.

Junfei is wearing a gorgeous black dress. Jianing is wearing a back shirt and black trousers.

Ah, I forgot about the costume change. Normally you can tell if there is going to be a costume change. But I didn't see it coming the last time I saw them, and I didn't see it coming this time either.

Everything about that programme was beautiful. Especially the skating.

I absolutely loved that!

They go into the lead of both the FD and overall.

They are happy! And so cute about it!

You won't share Everest with me? Pretty please?

Did Japan only have one team with 4cc minimums ?

Yep, they sent out another team to Golden Spin, and they missed the minimums by like a 1.5, if I remember right.

I'm always ready for any tango!!! Good job!

Jianing has a great head of hair - all floofy when he skates fast

Love Lily & Nathan - this team has chemistry

Gosh, I haven't heard Blues for Klook since Usova and Zhulin skated to it in 1993 when they won the world title.

I really like their free dance, so nice to see them go clean here.

Love the cool soulfulness and combo lift of Lily and Nathan's dance.

Lily HENSEN / Nathan LICKERS (CAN) are skating to "Blues For Klook" by Eddy Louis.

Like the previous partnership, they are both wearing all black as well. But somehow I don't think Lily's dress is hiding anything!

That was a real contrast to the programme before them. So intense.

But so good!

As they were coming off, they showed a group in the audience holding up Canadian flags. And both flags were being held back-to-front. (Is it that hard for people to understand that the edge where the holes are is the edge that gets held in your right hand?!)

They go into the lead of both the FD and overall.

Moir et al have done wonderful technical work with Lily & Nathan and it shows

 

[aussie_SKATES]

Goodness, Xinyu Liu is one tall glass of water. He makes Nikolaj Memola look like Kevin Aymoz.
