They're just so good. And still very baby (only their second Junior season and he's also only 17) - The future of Chinese pairs skating for sure.

Zhang/Feng have a good twist and a throw jump, a specialty of the Chinese pair skaters! They're deservedly head and shoulders above other teams on the scoreboard now

Zhang and Feng. Nice outfits and program. Great skate.

Personally speaking, I think some of their success is also down to the fact that they are NOT a new team - This is their fourth season together despite their young ages.

I couldn't take my eyes off Zhang/Feng performance! I will definitely be cheering for them from now on!

 

[Ares]

William/Lewer have a lot of polish for a junior team I must say!

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Zhang/Feng were pretty good, as were Williams/Lewer

 

[yuumagical]

They got here last night?!?! I can't believe they did so well! (In a good way!)

Great job from Naomi and Lachlan! Wait, am I reading their bio correctly? They were in senior GP last year and have bumped back down to JGP? That's unusual. I didn't think they were young enough to be affected by the new age rules.

Kid quotes: "That gold is my favorite! (pronounced feh-wit) Those costumes are ah-maaaa-zing! Let's do another one when this one is done!"

William/Lewer. Nice outfits. Good program.
. so sad about the long journey to get to Latvia.

I am seeing nice improvement from Naomi & Lachlan. Last year they were charming, but a bit sloppy. They look more polished and mature in this tango. Nice job

Great levels and really nice lift at the very end. They have a triple throw (Salchow, I think?), but not the Flip/Lutz yet.

They aren't a new team? They have done three seasons together already and were on the JGP last season. They won the Czech JGP last season but didn't make the JGP final because they had only skated in one event.

 

[elektra blue]

oh they have the Knierims and Tim Le Duc as coaches, i wonder if we're going to see one of them in the K&C

Welp, Ted got his fact wrong then - he said they are a new team

I am liking Natalia's hair

 

[FlossieH]

McDanold looks pleased with that.

I am getting Eric Radford vibes from Aaron
Maybe the eyebrows?
