I think today they performed a bit less comparing to AWG last week. Maybe it's home crowd magic difference. But they are so promising considering their young age.

Milla speaks in Norwegian and Nikolaj speaks in Swedish. I´m pretty sure Goldenskate asked them about it the first interview in Oberstdorf last spring. In one of their YouTube videoes from last year you could also hear Nikolaj say something in Swedish and Milla responding in Norwegian. They understand each other perfectly, but I wouldn´t be surprised if they sometimes mix in Norwegian/Swedish words with each other. Milla doesn´t have a difficult Norwegian dialect so I think it´s pretty easy for Nikolaj to understand her and Norwegians have usually no problems with understanding Swedish.
Edit: I think Milla has more a issue that Nikolaj and coach Rostislav sometimes communicate in Russian and Rostislav thinks Milla needs to learn Russian
(Also from an interview). I´m assuming they are pretty good in German as well, particular Milla who had a German ice partner before.

Slightly rough in places but overall nice, they could rise to be the Chinese #1 for good if they keep on developing. She's a star

As I said a previous time I saw it, I love everything about this programme from XIAO Zixi / HE Linghao (CHN)... apart from one thing: the vocals in the second song, "Verone".
I remember somebody else saying they were creepy. And I couldn't put it better myself.
Ach, for goodness sake! They use that part of the music for the replays!
Still hard to get your head around the fact that they are only 17. They are so good.
They go into 4th position in the FD, and 2nd overall.
They are happy!

UtaMasa's R&J version is more sophisticated imo but also more difficult to perform. They lost some levels and goes here and there. But their speed is amazing. Masaya's commitment to performance is absolutely maxed

Yes, but to be fair the two languages are sometimes pretty similar. I think they are probably having strong bilingual advantages as well, particular Nikolaj - since he grew up speaking Russian at home, so my guess he is better then the average Swede. They must be switching a lot between languages in Oberstdorf - English for coaches and skating friends, possible German is required for communicating with local people - and then Nikolaj and Rostislav communicating in Russian as well and Milla and Nikolaj speaking Swedish and NorwegianThis is so cool, to use your own language and your partner understands you without issue!
