I'm gonna have to say I was as pissed as everyone else, when Chinese fed made the switch, but I really enjoy Yu/Zhang.

Some lovely moments from Y/Z. They seemed a bit tentative. Not my favorite program for him. I think the free works better.

Yu / Zhang

Tech: Wild step-out for Yu on sbs 3T. Good 3Twist and death spiral, both with Level 4. Circular step could be faster and more secure, but wonderful throw 3Lo. Fast rotation in the lift. A bit cautious and slow in the combo spin to finish.

Pres: Nice technical elements for the most part. I think their bodies portrayed Swan Lake better than their expression; that is, the composition is better than their interpretation. Zhang isn't as balletic or as strong in his positions as Yu is. A moderate performance.

Thank god the circle of death on IN has disappeared in time for the Seniors. I am so excited (and on a sugar high from stress eating white chocolate party mix) that I think I may stay awake for the pairs.

Not sure why the Olympic Channel is determined to start at the half hour mark . . .

Yeah... I saw the height on it and it looked like a failed quad more than a great triple...

i just wish Yu would hold her landing on throw a bit longer so it would look more convincing, shame about the fall but performance wise they get better everytime!

Listen, I adore the Japanese audience--they are consummate pros. But could they maybe consider all flying over with the rest of the competition, K&C area, etc, to NYC? Getting up this early is hell on my sleep schedule. Plus NYC is a fun city. Really. :)

Just a suggestion!

:bed:

Thanks. Was going insane checking the lifestream thread to no avail, almost gave up and went back to bed angry. Geoblock can go to hell.
