New CPom interview waiting for #CupOfChina!!

Take a moment to know more about the journey of Christina Carreira & Anthony Ponomarenko because they not only strive for excellence in their skating but also cherish the journey they are on together, making their partnership both a professional and personal joy.

They have an amazing bond and in their eleventh season together they feel super lucky to have started their journey together early on, which has helped them really connect and understand each other. Their training is filled with laughter and support, making every day so special. They truly understand and support each other, also during tough times, which strengthens their partnership even more. 💖

Full transcription:

Christina: I think we're really fortunate to have found each other really early on. Especially in Ice Dance I think it helps a lot to know the person you are skating with. The last 11 years have gone by very quickly. I think we are really fortunate that we actually enjoy working together, we get along very well, so we really enjoy what we do and have fun working together.

Anthony Mentioning things that happened in our first season together feels like yesterday. It's crazy how fast time has flown by, and I enjoy skating with Cristina every day and knowing what mood she's in and how I can help; that really helps with training and working together. It's been awesome so far.

Christina: We feel very prepared for this time of the season. We had a good off-season where we got to brainstorm and prepare our programs. For this year's Free Dance, we wanted to skate to this music for years. We have been saving it for when we were ready. This year we came back from Worlds and we were like "there was nothing else that we wanted to do more than Carmen!". So our coaches needed a bit of convincing. We had to show them our skating to the music butut yes, we had a lot of blast creating these programs and working with the coaches and together.

Anthony: This summer has been uneventful, which is something as athletes that we almost strive for is that we can just come in, keep our heads down, and train. And that's been pretty amazing to put two programs together especially our FD Carmen that we wanted to do for years. We're really looking forward to the season and I feel like we're really ready. Still a few weeks of training and preparing, stylizing but I think we're definitely moving in the right direction

Whenever a team kisses on ice mid routine it always makes me think of Glee when Finchel kisses at nationals in New York I cannot escape this

Cup of China Review

Men:

Shun Sato (Japan) Total Score 278.48 - 1st in the short, 2nd in the free. So happy he finally won his first Grand Prix! I am in love with his short program. Shame about the level 2 stsq. Popped his 4F in the free, but that was his only major mistake. Would like to see a bit more speed from him.

Mikhail Shaidorov (Kazakhstan) Total Score 276.17 - 2nd in the short, 1st in the free. 3A4T Let’s Go! Both of his programs grew on me the second time around. Cannot believe he fell during the choreo sq. Up until this morning we thought that he was out of the Grand Prix Final, but now he’s replacing Adam, so I’m happy for him.

Adam Siao Him Fa (France) Total Score 252.53 - 3rd in the short, 3rd in the free. I know withdrawing from the Grand Prix Final was a tough decision but it was the right one. He is clearly injured and he needs time to recover if he wants to do well in the second half of the season. I’m still very sad for him.

Nika Egadze (Georgia) Total Score 246.54 - 4th in the short, 4th in the free. Another 4th place finish for Nika. He usually puts up a decent short, but struggles a bit in the free. His gala program is amazing, and I wish he could show as much personality in his programs as he does in the gala.

Matteo Rizzo (Italy) Total Score 243.82 - 5th in the short, 6th in the free. The 4Lo went a lot better than it did at NHK! I know some people are tired of it but I really enjoy his Fix You program. It was a shame he couldn’t get the last two jumps down.

Daiwei Dai (China) Total Score 237.35 - 7th in the short, 7th in the free. He totally surprised me! It looks like he’s pretty solid on his 4T even though he went down on it during the free. I’m officially rooting for him.

Deniss Vasiljevs (Latvia) Total Score 234.67 - 9th in the free, 5th in the short. Why does he keep trying to put the 4S in the short?? I’m glad he got in the free even though he popped it the first time. He has great speed and beautiful skating skills so even if he does frustrate me with the 4S I will always enjoy watching him.

Boyang Jin (China) Total Score 231.89 - 6th in the short, 9th in the free. I do not like the free at all. I swear, you could play any song over his performance and it wouldn’t matter. Just withdrew from Chinese nationals due to injury which is a shame. He got absolutely showered with plushies which is amazing.

Hyungyeom Kim (South Korea) Total Score 216.64 - 11th in the short, 8th in the free. He was a bit slow but he managed to stay up in both of his programs! I really liked his free, especially the ending.

Nikolaj Memola (Italy) Total Score 214.77 - 10th in the short, 10th in the free. Every time I see him I shocked by how tall he is. Short was okay, but had a hard time in the free. I like him a lot, so hopefully he’ll do better in the second half of the season after he gets some rest.

Yudong Chen (China) Total Score 182.6- 8th in the short, 11th in the free. It didn’t look like he had a costume on during his short. His free was Kung Fu Panda which I loved but he was struggle bussing a bit.

Wesley Chiu (Canada) - WD. He got injured in practice so it’s a shame we didn’t get to see him compete at all. Hopefully he’ll be healed in time for Canadian Nationals.

Women:

Amber Glen (USA) Total Score 215.54 - 2nd in the short, 1st in the free. I’m so proud of her. Watching her brings me so much joy. The 3A is so solid, she has so much speed and her spins are great. However, I’m not really in love with either one of her programs.

Mone Chiba (Japan) Total Score 211.91 - 1st in the short, 2nd in the free. Fell during the stsq in the free which was SO sad. She’s a great performer and I love both of her programs.

Chaeyeon Kim (South Korea) Total Score 209.47- 4th in the short, 3rd in the free. Her Tron program might be my favorite program of the season. I am obsessed with it. Free is also very pretty, and she is a lil cutie and I love her so much.

Rion Sumiyoshi (Japan) Total Score 202.45 - 3rd in the short, 4th in the free. I still can’t get over how her free program is about plants getting water. But you know, if I were a plant and I were thirsty I would be very happy to get some water. Both of her costumes are gorgeous.

Rinka Watanable (Japan) Total Score 196.95 - 5th in the short, 6th in the free. My FAV. LOVE the entry into her last spin. She landed the 3A and had a great first half of her free program but struggled in the second half. An absolute shame. She’ll have her comeback at JNats tho.

Kimmy Repond (Switzerland) Total Score 195.91 - 6th in the short, 5th in the free. I like her short, don’t love the free, especially the costume. Even though she went clean in the free, the GOE for her jumps were pretty low, so that’s why I think Rinka went ahead of he.

Madeline Schizas (Canada) Total Score 180.77 - 8th in the short, 8th in the free. She’s so smiley during the short, and it makes me so smiley. However, I really really like her free. She had a couple of pops in the second half which is a shame.

Anastasiia Gubanova (Georgia) Total Score 177.34 - 11th in the short, 7th in the free. Had a rough short and wasn’t able to get her combo. I like the space program a lot better than the angst ABBA. Her GOEs for her jumps were also quite low despite staying on her feet.

Yi Zhu (China) Total Score 166.04 - 10th in the short, 9th in the free. She got a cat plushie with a dress that matched her dress after the short which was absolutely precious!!!! I LOVED the A Star Is Born program. I thought it was lovely.

Xiangyi AN (China) Total Score 163.74 - 9th in the short, 10th in the free. Miss girl gave herself a good slap before starting the free lol. She managed to stay on her feet and her spins were very nice.

Minchae Kim (South Korea) Total Score 154.29 - 7th in the short, 12th in the free. Had a pretty decent short program but fell apart in the second half of her free.

Hongyi Chen (China) Total Score 139.57 - 12th in the short, 11th in the free. Short was rough but she did better in the free! She was a bit slow.

Pairs:

Sara Conti / Niccolo Macii (Italy) Total Score 211.05 - 1st in the short, 2nd in the free. Love the short, and the free is very touching. I’m glad they were able to improve their scores from Grand Prix de France.

Minerva Fabienne Hase / Nikita Volodin (Germany) Total Score 209.36 - 2nd in the short, 1st in the free. I guess Minerva had food poisoning so all the props to her for going out and getting the job done. He fell out of nowhere during the stsq in the short, but I’m glad that they were able to stay on the podium.

Lia Pereira / Trent Michaud (Canada) Total Score 188.74 - 3rd in the short, 3rd in the free. I really liked Sing, Sing, Sing. The only nit pick that I have is that I wish her dress was red to match his pocket square, and Sing,Sing,Sing just screams red to me, IDK.

Ice Dance:

Charlene Guignard / Marco Fabbri (Italy) Total Score 209.13 -1st in the short, 1st in the free.

Marjorie Lajoie / Zachary Lagha (Canada) Total Score 205.16 - 2nd int he short, 2nd in the free.

Christina Carreira / Anthony Ponomarenko (USA) Total Score 198.18 - 3rd in the short, 4th in the free.

I haven’t been able to watch the ice dance yet because I wasn’t able to watch anything live, and I’ve also been getting over the flu, but I wanted to get this up before it got too late! No skating this weekend, but I’m ready for the Grand Prix Final next weekend!
