I quite liked their last year performance at Worlds but this team has never been my favorite and their program always seemed kind of same. But I feel this is different program and diffirent choreography. Very well skated.
I can't remember last season's FS :scratch2: Guess gonna ask Mr Youtube ;)

I still cant believe the Chinese skating fed did that, and forced the skaters to split up, poor Xiaoyu... :( she looks miserable..

What happened last year?

I think it was last year. She fell in a program and he seemed totally oblivious and uncaring, just continued to skate until she caught up with him. It seemed like he didn't even care. I'd never seen a partner act like that. The usual reaction is different. That for me personally made me dislike him. And I think he looked like the ladies strict father instead of a partner. It's not something I like to see, but that's my personal preference.

Loved D/R, she should always wear unitards.. she just radiated confidence and joy throughout that program.
The Chinese, wow creepy vibes from them. If he skates long enough he will be skating with his own daughter before long.

So does China have an abundance of ladies whose hearts desire is to be a pair skater to Zhang? This guy is just scary to me, since last year. Not a fan. And for that Klimov comment, well...sure...if you say so. :slink:

The Chinese fed forcibly broke up Yu/Jin in order to give Yu to Zhang since his last partner was eaten by the puberty monster. She protested, but was overruled. :(

D/R achieved the highest BV ever. You cannot skate more difficult! 3Lz and 3ATH!

But to be honest. The score is quite low. They made small mistakes but the PCS was only 34,5!

I think that was somthing S/M are able to beat with their unreal SP this year.

I won't say Zhang and Yu are underscored, but rather Meagan and Eric are kind of overscored...

I don't think D/R were particularly overscored on PCS... it's below their personal best, and I assume there will be some deductions on the 3Z and 3ATh in the protocols (except from the Canadian judge lol).

Oh I knew about that I thought there was something else. :slink:

With his previous partner Peng, during one of the GPs, Peng fell pretty badly (on a throw?) and Zhang sort of just didn't look her way... (But that's during the program, not sure about afterwards.)
