Cherish....

 

[casken]

She is absolutely magnificent and I hope after this is all over she can go back to Jin and carry on.

Mistakes be damned, Yu is such a gorgeous goddess on ice.

And she really knows a thing about being one graceful Swan

Costly mistake from her on sbs jump, the rest was good

SP: 37.20+32.97-1.00 = 69.17, 2/5

Yu / Zhang

Only a 2T from Yu on the sbs jumps. Wonderfully high 3Twist, nice transition right into the death spiral. Smooth ride-out on the throw 3Lo. Alright sync in the steps but a nice spin for the most part.

I actually see a lot of improvement in their body lines overall and I think Daddy Zhang was actually into the music more than Yu was in this performance.

I have mixed feeling for this Chinese pair. Yu popped and fell sbs jump... again.. she skated somewhat mechanical, but her lines and extensions are BEATIFUL!!

Confession: I love Swan Lake!

There's just something about its grandeur makes it perfect for the Olympics, kind of like Turandot. You can't go wrong.

Lazy but totally works.

Speaking of grandeur, I will miss Wakaba Bond very much... that is an Olympic program!! ARGHHH..... depressing!

 

[MaiKatze]

Will there be ice resurfacing?

 

[Bumdid]

Ha. I'm somewhat happy the Knierims are still first

 

[100yen]

Yu looks like she's about to fly into my dreams and hand me ice-level tickets for the Olys and tell me Ice Network will now be fully HD.

 

[SarahSynchro]

More crown royal costumes for the crown royal rink.

Confession: I love Swan Lake!

I do too. But there are just so many skaters doing it every year.

Here's your reminder not to google search Matteo Guarise because most likely NSFW lol

 

[synteis]

Ahahaha at the eagle tattoo peaking out through his quite sheer top

 

[Bumdid]

Matteo Guarise's posterior is magnificat :agree:

 

[LittleLotte29]

Ha. I'm somewhat happy the Knierims are still first

Me, too /blushing/

 

[GGFan]

My connection went out: Knierims landed the jumps!!!! :hap93:

No Wakabond is second only to Tara Lipinski beating Michelle Kwan in Olympic dissapointments for me.
