For the past few years, I have been going on about the way that Chinese Pairs skater Xie Zhong has been going through partners like nobody's business. And about how he had a good one a few years ago, but ditched her. And about how it was a big mistake, and that he should have stuck with her.

Well, last week we saw that former partner, Zhang Mingyang, make her Senior GP debut at the Cup of China with her new partner, Song Bowen. And they did not disgrace themselves.

But what I found extra fascinating was that one of their coaches is another good Pairs skater who had disappeared without trace a few years back: Zhang Tianci, who was Peng Cheng's partner before she was paired up with Zhang Hao.

When I saw Mingyang and Tianci sitting together waiting for the results, it struck me how alike they are. And it started me wondering - are they by any chance siblings?
So, does anybody know if they are indeed related?

Never heard that they are sibling.
Zhang Tianci is the choreographer of team Luan Bo.
I think that is the reason he was in K&C.
By the way,last year some Chinese fans were very angry about Zhang Hao.
He was considered whom destroyed two promising pairs,Yu Xiaoyu/Jin Yang ang Peng Cheng/Zhang Tianci.
