I went to the ice dance practices. I saw all the teams minus Gilles/Poirier there. Though on Instagram via Instagram stories, they said they would get there today.

It's a very nice interior I must say of the arena.

Ashley looked good, she did her triple triples and fell once on a trtiple loop. I think she added choreo but wasn't skating to the music.

Bradie looked good on her FS but doubled a few jumps.

was most impressed with Polina T. Her jumps are to die for!

From Jackie Wong:

Gabby D. says she's recovering from illness, looked strong in practice, maybe not doing the jumps as many times as she normally does.

Hao Zhang struggling a lot with his solo 3S. D/R looked fantastic and ready, MT/M looked great too.

Zhang is the most consistent jumper in the last 15 years. I will be surprised if he will not get things together in competition.

Practice doesn't necessarily mean anything about the performance.

Here's Jackie's full description of their practice:
Yu/Zhang: FS runthru (sbs3S(Z 1S), 3Tw, thr3Lo(footdown), thr3S), sbs3S(Y hand, Z fall), sbs3S(Z fall), sbs3T2T

Zhang may just suffer jet lag for a little while. Though, I have no doubt he will be fine in competition while I'm not sure about Yu's jumps.
