#4ContsFigure pairs SP press conference ✨

How does everyone feel about today's performance:

#RikuMiura/#RyuichiKihara - It wasn't the best performance but we got the level we were aiming for. Our goal was to be in the press conference. We are very happy and want to come to a strong performance

#DeannaStellato/#MaximeDeschamps - Not thrilled with the throw and sbs spin. They did some changes and were happy to perform it before worlds. Aiming for an upwards trajectory since Deanna's sickness from Nationals

#EmilyChan/#SpencerAkiraHowe - A small bobble but they had a lot of confidence. The audience's energy was very helpful to them!

How did the men feel about the altitude?

#RyuichiKihara - I was expecting the air to be even thinner but it wasn't too bad. I told myself I'll be fine and keep the motivation.

#MaximeDeschamps - The short program is more go go go! Ask again after the free 😂

#SpencerAkiraHowe - We're all pretty trained since we're near the end ofbrhe season. I felt some hardship by the end but we're doing our job. We're mostly hoping to do it for the free skate 😅

Does the short program have a special meaning for #RikuMiura/#RyuichiKihara? When we selected the music, we had no any significance but it worked out as this expresses our season thus far.

What did you change in your program
#DeannaStellato/#MaximeDeschamps?

Footwork and transitions! Trying to build up for worlds. We also made changes for the free. We did well and we hope to smooth it out for Worlds.

We were already off at the start with the lunge but we're glad we did it here and not Worlds!

#RikuMiura / #RyuichiKihara - About missing nationals:

It was unfortunate because it's been three years since we competed there. We took the two weeks in Japan as a break and change our minds. Every competition is the same. Almost routine like.

We gave 4CC our best shot!
