Hello everyone

, watching from 3AM, it will be a rough second part of week to jiggle night wake-ups & work, but after watching Wenjing & Cong I know it is worth the effort, for such experiences.
I will probably write more complex impression post later, after SP, but let me say this - it seemed impossible for me to tear up before even music started yet Wenjing/Cong shattered that myth for me. Seeing the magnitude, spectrum of emotional engagement in their faces in starting pose made me experience watching them just so much stronger, seeing them after all these teams skating before made me realize how happy we are to witness such complexity in nuancing not only strong pair elements, but emotions, musicality, chemistry between two of them. It is never how obvious they are with things they show, but how strongly they engage within them, the power of something unspoken they give people watching them: a little gesture, Wenjing's expression, the sublime contrast between pause & movement in their presentation... Also, the level of maturity now they represent is enriching their skating & emoting so much. And they don't even need to make themselves 'cool', 'classical' or any particular label for a purpose - they are their own brand regardless of repetoire, goin better each season.
