My brain is rejecting this

 

[draqq]

Almost thought Chock and Bates was on the ice for a second.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Huuuuuuge throw!

 

[OS]

Do do do... yeah bring something popularist and not soft and lyrical, love this fun program. OT. Remind me of this moment

Awesome!!! Uptown funk you up.

Enjoyed it!

 

[gravy]

Wow you are in New Zealand? Visiting or are you a Kiwi?

Here for work.

Originally from Oslo, but I now live in San Francisco.

Nighty night!

Thanks! ISU schedule says it'll only be an hour long so I should be fine until then. :agree:

 

[draqq]

Holy moly she has long legs

Those legs are certainly uptown! My goodness gracious!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Barring some sort of meltdown by a later pair I expect this to land in the bottom of the pile, but it was really fun! I like them

 

[matmuh]

what a great start to the competition, it was so much fun!!

 

[Princessroja]

Not too bad for an international debut. Hopefully they can add some more energy as they go along. It's great music though!

 

[Tastetherainbow]

Had no expectations for this Chinese pair, but wow! And 2As! Fun!

 

[nimi]

I liked them!

Their SS and speed need more work (of course) but I really appreciate that these two PERFORMED their program. Good job, previously-unknown-to-me Chinese pair!

Solid debut, still needs alot of polish and stronger skating skills

SP: 30.27+22.88 = 53.15, 1/1

 

[LittleLotte29]

Jeeez, I am doing homework and seriously thought it's the warm up music so I paid no attention to their skating... Until commentators said "well, it was a nice performance"

 

[andromache]

Wait...are there Chinese coaches other than Yao Bin and Hongbo Zhao?

Or are these coaches just part of their team?

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Ash and Tim in matching catsuits

 

[Lota]

Huuuuuuge throw!

Seriously, I thought she'd fly out of the rink :shocked: Glad she landed it though

But yeah, in figure skating terms, this song for me is probably forever associated with Chock/Bates

 

[moriel]

yayayay Ashley and Timothy gogogo

 

[MIM]

it is the first time Zhang and Song skated at the international level per ISU bio. They were so good and it is amazing how deep Chinese Pairs pool is...

 

[kevinVchicago]

She's adorable. Couldn't catch that vibe though. Oh well. Too messy.

 

[NoNameFace]

Seriously, I thought she'd fly out of the rink :shocked: Glad she landed it though

But yeah, in figure skating terms, this song for me is probably forever associated with Chock/Bates

for me, it's always Elladj Balde's song
