I have to say I was blown away by Yuka and Juho at Espoo last week. Pretty much top level package and their strong performer's skills won me over.
Yuka's RD served Anna Cappellini realness and FD dress was just spectacular.
That FD is certainly one of my all-time faves already.
Plus they were crowned, a funny story is that Juho started to ask where is crown for him :laugh: (I gave it to them after FD practice on Saturday), but - they actually had some kind of media interview on the concourse when I was leaving fir something to eat (lol) and Yuka sat with the crown on her head :dbana: , so I waited the interview to be over and approached them to apologise to Juho for lack of his own crown. And to widh them all the best in FD :)

They are really funny, and it's also very interesting to hear how they made the programs, what they were thinking while skating and how they analyze their own performances.
