I am looking forward to (read: "dreading") hearing how Ted pronounces Chiara MINIGHINI's surname!

Although I have a rough idea of how "gh" is pronounced in Italian, I am finding this name a real tongue-twister. So what will Ted be like?!

@elektra blue - it might be a good idea to put the mute on, if you don't want to hear your language being murdered.

Beautiful version of Aranzuez, and really lovely red/purple dress to compliment her detailed, yet delicate choreography for Ikura.

 

[elektra blue]

forza Chiara!

 

[bartlebooth]

You can always rely on Ted for creative Italian pronunciation

That 3lz was so big I love the color of her dress and the dress as a whole simple but pretty.
Shame about the combo

Chira sort of reminds me of Emily Hughes with her lovely smile and strong jumps. Giselle is such a nice choice of music. I really enjoyed her.

Fight Mao!

And now...

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

My goodness! Ted's attempt was even worse than I could have imagined!

But, what a beautiful skater!

That is interesting. That was the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra playing her music. I wonder if Chiara is friends with Hana Bath, the skater from Tasmania we saw the other week. And if that is how she came to skate to music played by that particular orchestra.

She goes into 8th position (I forgot to look at the livescoring until now! )

Wow the speed of that layback

 

[lileychristie]

in Ted defense i have to admit that the sound of italian gn must not be easy to everyone else in the world except for the spanish speakers. gn=ñ

But he was also mispronouncing the "cchi" part, he said it with a soft c as in "charlie" instead of the hard k sound

And fun fact, that Italian "gn" sound is easy for Indonesian speakers as we have exactly the same sound we just write it with "ny" instead

 

[Coivië]

Wow what a great program for Mao!

[Mariiiiskate]

Mao good as always!
