Anybody knows what happened to Cheng Peng and her last partner? Are they injured or have they split?

I asked this question on a few different threads literally yesterday, no response yet.

magenta girl!

I am heeere. Last event of the GP series! Go Ioulia and Michal!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Is Ioulia wearing the same dress as yesterday?

She was trying to trick us into thinking that!!!

Yesterday's dress was all magenta.

With today's dress, the part that hangs below the team body warmer is magenta. But the rest of it is black. (Just like the team body warmers, actually).

she always looks so happy, bless her

 

[readernick]

She's so cute. Hard not to love them. They will definitely go into first based on the SP score. Very nice lifts. Their other elements are still works in progress.

 

[Karoltyna]

Well, decent, some work to do before Euros and it will be just fine

 

[cocteautwin]

Iulia and Michał have such a bright good energy

Smart attitude, keeps them going.

Ah. That never twigged with me.

I'm glad I did stay, now.

Ioulia and Michael - such a charming pair! Glad to see them do well here. I'm hoping they can have a good showing at Euros. Last season they were 10th so it would be great if they could climb up a bit.

Another SB

I don't know a lot about Wang/ Zhu. How long have they been together? Are they injured?

They've been together since the 2022/23 season. They haven't competed at all this season before CoC due to injury indeed. Not that they skated much better at last season's CoC, their lifts are just so scary.

Anybody knows what happened to Cheng Peng and her last partner? Are they injured or have they split?

No official confirmation (I think) but likely split, he's now apparently coaching.

Not sure that's going to get them the CTES for 4CC, let alone Worlds. If they don't make it to Worlds, we could end up with no Chinese pair at the Olympics.

Zhang/Huang will be Sr eligible next season and will try to get one of the few spots available at the Olympic Qualifying competition. Depends on who else will be there, but there's a chance at least.

Hopefully Sui can fix that but not much time for her new pairing to ramp up to that level.

If Wenjing could throw and lift herself maybe, but she's not the weak link in this new partnership to say the least.

Lia and Trent do it for @4everchan olè

 

[elektra blue]

not too bad, love the program but i like a tango for pairs

 

[GGFan]

Despite the mistakes that's probably the best program choreography I've ever seen from Lia and Trennt. When they go clean they will have a moment.

 

[lileychristie]

Well done Lia & Trennt!!! That should be enough for a medal for sure

Love that head tilt in the final pose

 

[readernick]

The second and third Canadian pairs have some of the best programs this year. I like them. Definitely a bit messy...

 

[elbkup]

Enjoyed that tango.. some beautiful elements!

Every time I hear "Por Una Cabeza", I think of Anna Pogo and go all dreamy!
