What a strange blend from Merry Christmas to Last Emperor and back to Merry Christmas

I'm actually really sad for Yudong. Last season, when he was healthy and at his best, China didn't send him to two JGPs despite clearly having the potential to make the JGPF, and this season he isn't healthy enough to make it.

Yudong. Nice outfit and program. His first jumping pass was great, a few mistakes but still a good skate.

Love the costume!

They pointed out the back brace.

Musically I think it works, but I don't think the two movies are connected in any way and that's usually a bit weird then.

 

[icewhite]

Love the costume!

You like it?! I never like the v shape on both sides

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Fingers crossed Jacob will have a better skate this time

[moonvine]

This is my fault for putting him in my predictions, isn't it?

 

[4everchan]

i find Jacob's skating busy... moving in all directions too much. Some brilliant jumps... Some.. pops...

 

[icewhite]

I liked this better than last time, but he seemed very tired at the end this time.
I really like this skater.

Sarabande Suite is not pop young sir

 

[labgoat]

There is a wonderful energy and spark to Jacob's skating even with the mistakes
