From the ISU bios:

Since Chinese Ice Dance teams aren't going to contend for high placements anyway, the federation has gone with the cut-price option this season and instead of Krylova and Camerlengo, they have hired Natalia 'Past-It' Linichuk to do their top two teams' programs.

 

[dorispulaski]

Well, the Chinese fed has done that before. Huang & Zheng used to be with Linichuk.

Yes, last season Krylova and Camerlengo did their programs but before that they used to work with Linichuk.

Gooo Nathalie & Fabian!!! :yay:arty:

 

[3T3T]

This is going to be a very interesting battle between B/S and P/B for gold and the winner should have their chances of olympic bronze strenghtened. From the first two GPs I think that C/L and W/P have been marked very generously, interesting to see how the judges score both couples here.

 

[Mathman]

Go Chock and Bates!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Go Aldredige and Eaton (one always hope a new team have a successful first outing--if only to get them off on the right uhm skate!).

 

[Matt K]

Huang/Zheng have withdrawn.

 

[Ilvskating]

Huang/Zheng have withdrawn.

sorry for them. Is it too late for a replacement? pod opportunity for young teams.

 

[sneakypie]

Was it just me or did the first Chinese pair start late and finish way after the music?

[dorispulaski]

Yes, it's too late.

And now the first 3 teams to skate are having their warmup.

Yiyi Zhang & Nan Wu CHN
Coach: Chongbo Gao
Choreographer: Chongbo Gao (from bio)
Quickstep: Swing With Me by Jessica Simpson (Started with the finnstep)
Foxtrot: He's A Tramp (not Trump )
Quickstep
He spun in place for part of his second twizzle, may be a downlevel
41.79

maybe it is a problem with stream, like in previous week, at SC, try one which I mentioned in my earlier post, this one is well synchronized for me

 

[dorispulaski]

Xiaoyang Yu & Chen Wang
Coach: Hongyan Xi
Choreographer: Natalia Linichuk
Foxtrot: This Business of Love by Domino
Quickstep: Dancing Fool by Barry Manilow (Finnstep)
Disaster: she fell in the Finnstep with a significant disruption of the pattern (They seemed to be pushing for a little more speed than they were capable of)
The non touching footwork was quite smooth with decent timing
Tiwzzles ok
A real shame.
41.24

I'm watching on Universal Sports stream and it did seem ever so slightly out of sync ... or maybe its just me:think:

Thank you, changing streams fixed it.

Coach:Krylova
Choreographer: P. Camerlengo, M. Scali, C. Thacker, M. Lemanski

Quickstep: Man with the Hex Finnstep (first part seemed to have the beat wrong as recorded.)
Foxtrot: The Business of Love (from "The Mask" soundtrack)

Twizzles good
Some awkwardness in the circular not touching step; level 2 at best I think.
Unsteady in the final pose.
Hi to grandma, mom & dad.

Krylova says It's OK
