Meanwhile, in between pairs practice and the pairs competition, there’s gala practice (!!) - Nathan Chen, Boyang Jin, and Vincent Zhou #Beijing2022

Boyang Jin skating to Westlife’s cover of Sarah McLachlan’s Angel for the exhibition. I thought I was in an ASPCA commercial with sad dogs. #Beijing2022

No music runthrus here but I’m pretty sure I just saw Caravan choreography #Beijing2022

And now for ice dance gala practice, which has turned into an ad-hoc short track speed skating practice. I think they are all training for the next Olympics. #Beijing2022

I can attest to the fact that there is no practicing actually happening in this ice dance gala practice. They are just all having a fun time enjoying the Olympic ice #Beijing2022

Maybe this is the new location of the Van Gogh Immersive exhibit #Beijing2022

And appropriately - Piper Gilles/Paul Poirier returns to their Starry Night free dance for the gala #Beijing2022

Alysa Liu is too cool for me #Beijing2022

Cha: I'm very happy about the medal today, and about how I skated and what I did today. I really trained hard and I really want to enjoy today - and I gave everything, so I'm very happy about it #WorldFigure

Guignard/Fabbri: This medal for us means so much. It's an incredible reward for many years of hard work, difficult moments, ups and downs. We still have to process it, we can't believe we got silver here - it feels really great #WorldFigure

This thread: Women’s free skate press conference at #WorldFigure

Sakamoto: Ideally, I would skate clean and end with a smile. But I made the same mistake as 4yrs ago, so I'm disappointed. But I was able to recover and add the 3T - so I think I've grown from 4 years ago #WorldFigure

Lee: This season, the first half was very rough. But I tried to not give up and come back. This was my first time at Worlds, so I wanted to come - I achieved everything I wanted to. I brought everything to the audience #WorldFigure

This thread: rhythm dance press conference at #WorldFigure - small medals are delayed because Piper Gilles has not arrived yet

Chock/Bates: It was an incredible energy in the arena today - looking around the arena and seeing the thousands of fans, it was really magical. They propelled us in our program and gave us so much energy - it was incredibly fun #WorldFigure

Guignard/Fabbri: It was the same feeling for us - it was a great crowd, great atmosphere. Skating was really easy for us tonight. We worked a lot on both programs, and we were very happy we performed the way we wanted to #WorldFigure

Malinin: I came here to deliver, and I came here to perform and grind it out. I was so happy to be able to put out this performance in front of the Japanese crowd - I'm very happy about it #WorldFigure
