The cheerleader in me is coming out and saying, "WHY ARE YOU WEARING THOSE EARRINGS?! THEY'RE A SAFETY HAZARD!!!"

Worst skate I have seen from Brasseur/Ostiguy. Must be first time nerves.

NOOOOOO

MY PRECIOUSES

FIRST AMBER, NOW THEM?!?!?

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Same! I was so sad when he broke up with Zhang Mingyang. They had so much potential!

That's the annoying part of it. When a couple that you think has potential only lasts one season.

One season is rarely enough to know if a partnership is going to go places or not. For me, you need at least two.

So, I wonder if Xie Zhong is impatient and expects success straight away. Or if he is just hard to work with, and the girls can't put up with him!

P&C's music...smooth

 

[TMC]

My junior pairs preciouses! :cheer.

Really hope they can stay in the medals...

Imagine if those two pairs develop well and go head to head as favourites in 2022 or something!? I'd still have to pull for S/B, because Wes Anderson

Papadakis Cizeron goosebumps...

If the girl stole Anna's dress, the guy stole Josh Farris' shirt and died the ends blue

4Li
BoDs
PCoSp3p
StSq

Solid debut, but some little mistakes

SP: 23.88+18.65 = 42.53, 3/6

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Have to say, I was underwhelmed with Zhao / Xie.

She's happy with the score, but he isn't.

Perhaps he IS the type that expects instant success!

Rediculous that we are already having a resurfacing after only 6 competitors. And with only 3 to go!

With the Chinese pairs, it would be hard to imagine that the federation/powers that be don't have a lot to do with forming and breaking up pairs...

Probably should have stuck with Zhang Mingyang.

Needless to say, I have a feeling Zhao's height is probably going to become a major problem in the future. And she's only 15!
