Too many things happened to me between now and #ChineseNebelhorn so my memory is hazy... Was the tech box always that way this season??? 🙈 #GPFRA #GPFigure ⛸️
Remember China had the option to send Sui/Han to win the spot themselves outright at #ChineseNebelhorn but opted not to.
Was wondering where I remember Genrikh Gartung from, then it dawned on me that he finished 9th at #ChineseNebelhorn! Dang, these juniors are a force to be reckoned with. ⛸️
The ice dance event at #ChineseNebelhorn certainly didn't lack for drama. It was a gripping competition to watch (if not without controversy). Our photo gallery from the event is up on our website!

Jackie @rockerskating.com posted this on the other site (but not here) about Reitan/Majorov’s ChSt. I’d say it’s the EXACT LENGTH the isu judges went to get the results to fit their agenda 😒 #ChineseNebelhorn ⛸️

Russia's sanitized best is pretty decent. In any other circumstances I could see myself becoming partial to him. On tech content alone he's obviously earning a spot. We'll see what he produces in Milano, but I don't think that was a challenger for the Olympic podium skate. #ChineseNebelhorn
Yu-Hsiang Li and Kyrylo Marsak are going to the Olympics OMG!!! #ChineseNebelhorn
Is that SP lead going to be enough???? *hyperventilates*
Deep breathes with Donovan.
YES!!!!! And now I'm screaming in joy with Donovan! #ChineseNebelhorn
Donovan, your 4S! I don't think the opening voiceover was there the first time I saw this program, but I like it. These flubbed landings are stressing me out. Made the points up a bit with level 4 step sequence and spins. I love him so much, I just want to see him at the Olympics! #ChineseNebelhorn
Donovan time. I'm fine. I'm fine. Really, I'm fine. #ChineseNebelhorn
*cries for Francois* #ChineseNebelhorn
Not the popped 4S for Francois off the top! After the flubbed 3Lo I knew this wasn't going to be enough. Just small error after small error is tough to see from such a beautiful skater. Unfortunate to use the same version of Eleanor Rigby that Yu-Hsiang Li just skated to so well. #ChineseNebelhorn
*of the event. Of my day. #ChineseNebelhorn
First happy tears of the day!!! #ChineseNebelhorn
Nice dramatic 4T landing from Hyungyeom. He's not the most emotional skater yet, but he did a decent job keeping up with the drama of Lawrence of Arabia. Love to see a skater go out under pressure and deliver the skate of their life. #ChineseNebelhorn
Ooof. To miss the Olympics due to a messed up spin when you're that good a skater is heartbreaking. #ChineseNebelhorn
These next four skates are going to stress me out. Davidé Lewton-Brain going for quality over technical supremacy, but I'm not sure it's enough. That level 2V on the last spin may make a difference. #ChineseNebelhorn
Beautiful opening jumping passes for Kyrylo. At the halfway point I thought he had this, the popped 2Lo gave me pause but it didn't even slow him down. Great step sequence. Beautiful spins. #ChineseNebelhorn
Georgii Reshtenko came out strong with two clean quads, but after the janky 3A he lost momentum. Really slow step sequence. I'm very confused by the weird strappy things on the back of his vest. He's not bad, but that's not a going to the Olympics program. #ChineseNebelhorn
THAT'S AN IN-CONTENTION SCORE OMG. #ChineseNebelhorn
Yu-Hsiang Li is such a delight. His smile afte rhe landed the 3A! No quads, but he's probably going to go into the lead with lovely, emotional, clean skating beginning to end. #ChineseNebelhorn
Genrikh Gartung quad count: Only two but they were lovely. Needs to work on his spins. Level 1 and negative GEO on his camel spin and his combo spin. The camel was particularly poor. #ChineseNebelhorn
i hope the virtanens took kyrylo out for one hell of a celebratory dinner 💙 #SkateToMilano #ChineseNebelhorn
I really like Edward Appleby, if he hadn't been injured in the off-season I think he had a serious chance here, but today just so many double jumps. Some beautiful movement, strong spins. Stop showing us the step sequences on the overhead camera challenge. Love the choreo slide. #ChineseNebelhorn
Nice 3As from Vlasenko! And good job keeping the performance up even when the jumps started to betray him. Great step sequence. #ChineseNebelhorn
ted was so right that for most of these athletes, this competition was way more stressful than the olympics will be. the pressure and stakes in this comp were so intense #SkateToMilano #ChineseNebelhorn
just caught up and SO HAPPY FOR DONOVAN AND KYRYLO!!! and yu-hsiang!!! i really wanted davide lewton brain to make it (what a STUNNING skate) but otherwise i'm extremely happy with that top five #SkateToMilano #ChineseNebelhorn
Jari Kessler performance masterclass time. The only figure skater I'll allow To Build a Home. #ChineseNebelhorn
A very 90s costume on Yauhenii Pusanau with the high collar and puffy sleeves. I didn't want him to make the Olympics, but I definitely wanted him to have a better skate than that. His step sequence was really solid. #ChineseNebelhorn
