2016 Cup of China Free Dance

[Violet Bliss]

Weapo is on another level in term of quality of skating.

Beautiful program and performance.

 

[Kirei]

I love their lifts. The first stationary lift is so different from the Montreal ones.

 

[cathlen]

Shibs can beat that for sure. That minus 1 will get to them...

 

[ruffledgrouse]

WePo, beautiful program beautifully skated. Amazing first stationary lift.

But.

And it's a pretty big but.

Almost none of that was done in hold.

That seems to be a problem for a lot of teams. Do you think it's getting more common?

 

[SarahSynchro]

Hmmm, a 1 point deduction for WeaPo?

It's always fun to watch Morozov on the rink-side

 

[Arriba627]

Thank you very much for sharing. Cute smile from Bukin, as usual.

They were so cute and so friendly. They skated around the rink after the medal ceremony with Chock & Bates and the Shibs. Don't know how much English they spoke, but they smiled, signed autographs, posed for pictures, etc. A very fun memory.

Wow Andrew lifting Kaitlin so effortlessly, then seeing him run his hand through his hair. Swoon:luv17:

Shib twizzles are always Devine.

I think these are the costumes they used for their Fly On EX. I don't like the Shib's or WeaPo's straigh line lifts where she stands on his leg and sticks her leg straight out, it looks so awkward to me. I much prefer when the ladies bend the knee in (the Shibs did that variation before...I don't know why they went back)

Not as tentative as yesterday. I like this program more than Aranjuez.

 

[cathlen]

Shibs have won But I like WeaPo programs more.

 

[nolangoh]

Absolutely nailed it

 

[ancientpeas]

Well.. I think they definitely got their levels. Maybe I'm not refined enough but this program is just okay for me.

 

[Mirunna]

I loved S/S FD. Every minute of it.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Ugh,
looks like 2 time defending champs are out of the GPF

 

[Mrs. P]

That was calming. We'll see if the TES sticks.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Shibs have won But I like WeaPo programs more.

And I'm the exact opposite. I think that's one of the most exquisite FDs I've seen in years.

 

[Kirei]

I guess this means W/P are out of GPF?

 

[gravy]

Pretty program. I think that should win it for them, but I said that yesterday as well.

 

[nolangoh]

The feeling of this program starts to grow in me. The GPF gold is in sight
