ZHANG / HUANG (CHN) | Pairs Free Skating | 2025 – Beijing

There they are. Well, the final team in to compete. They were utterly brilliant in this short program. Jiaxuan Zhang and Yihang Huang. Tell thousands of people here that they are going to become the champions if they get ready to skate to O by Coldplay. From juniors most as this team has stepped up to senior energy behind it. An emotion increased undoubtedly under the magnifying glass of an audience in this venue. That all were so desperate for this team to deliver. Well, this was a brilliant program because it brought this team to a new level of performance. A new level of sensitivity. When you move from junior to senior, what's the difference? Well, generally speaking, the top juniors do pretty much the same elements as the seniors do. So what is the difference? It's the maturity and then one year that has grown immensely. And for me, I don't think skating skills are the strongest of those that we have seen. But it's that packaging and the delivery. It's been so long. They have fought. They delivered the make and some of the elements. But watch right here, just the sensitivity at the beginning of the program. The patience, the look, and the arm movements. Here is the twist. This is incredible. Look at the height, the hands down to the side. This is a level three. So missing one of the features out of that. Yellow loops. Good landing. Now they have to open a single axle here. Then they gain momentum. Push themselves up a bit. A good plan. Give yourself a bit more time. I think that's going to be downgraded. Or I know it's an under rotation. Only big mistake in the program of fall. And then for Jiaxuan on these throws. She knew her partner had gone down. She had so much pressure then on those two throws. And you know what? She just tried releasing the emotion that she had to contain to get those two throws done. She was so strong in the back. And you'll see in the throws, that strong back. Just stay there. Be patient for that landing. Don't reach for it. Here it is. Watch the strength in the back. She keeps straight here. She takes the leg. Open now. Keep the back strong. Push the leg behind. Not change of hand. Into the move of rest. But the face was everything. In the world. So I think you're probably right. But I look forward to that meeting. Come up. I love it. She looks so good. It's awesome. I want to hear the reaction from the audience. You can see in the screen as we look around. Looking up at the screens. Eagerly anticipating what we know is likely to happen. Yeah. I don't play any music when I don't have that. Yeah.
