Artistry On Ice 2010

For Chinese pair skaters Xue Shen and Hongbo Zhao, the year 2010 marks a glorious page in their career, for they have two long-awaited dreams to fulfill: an Olympic title and holding the very first world-class commercial Figure Skating show in China.

On September 4th, "Artistry On Ice" brought bright figure skating stars to Beijing and it turned out to be an 'autumn festival' for the fans.

The show

Capital Indoor Stadium, Beijing, China | September 4th, 2010

The moment the two young pairs Dong Huibo/Wu Yiming and Zhang Yue/Wang Lei stepped onto the ice for the opening, they were welcomed by waves of screams. The rink was almost full, occupied by 17000 enthusiastic fans. All skaters, except Shen and Zhao, showed up for a joyful group dance to some percussion music.

Red roses appeared on the big stage screens. The skaters gathered next to the stage, standing in a row. Then came the most romantic scene of the night: while their coach Bin Yao (head coach of Chinese National Figure Skating team) was playing 'Wedding March' on piano, Hongbo Zhao skated to the center and kneeled down to his bride Xue Shen who was skating to him surrounded by kids before carrying her to the stage.
....

Although his eligibility to participate in next season remains unclear, Evgeni Plushenko's 'Sex Bomb' did the trick to turn the whole rink upside down. All in all, a serious Olympic champion is nice. A funny one? Precious. Besides, he likes to give surprises - in the second half, the speaker announced his much more intensive Olympic program 'Tango' instead of 'Je suis malade' written on the list. Evgeni showed us his gift: the speed of his skating was fast as a falcon gliding and we were not even aware of the time he needed to accelerate from standing still. When he landed his third triple Axel that night, the crowd literally gasped before screaming. He was also the only one who hit a triple-triple combination. Moreover, the sense of humor never left the 28 year old Russian. He twisted and swung, exaggerating the dance moves in a corner where a banner read 'Alexei you're our champion'.

........

The skaters gathered again on ice for the finale number before throwing sweets from baskets (it is a tradition of a Chinese wedding), concluding the show in a very sweet atomosphere.

Behind the scenes

The organisers of this show were clearly well-informed how poor the Chinese market for figure skating could be. Hence, they did their best effort to catch the attention of the public. They had two TV channels for official videos, and invited a TV-broadcasting team from Canada, who also worked at some events at the Vancover Olympic Games. On September 3rd, they attended the pre-show press conference. There weren't 30 journalists (as seen at the COC or GPF), but more than a hundred of them. Such media coverage was a hint of the ambition of the organizers to advertise....

Practice was intense to some extent. It was arranged on a daily basis. According to the schedule pasted on the lobby wall, on Sep. 3rd it started at around 10 AM and all the skaters stayed in the rink till the rehearsal session finished at around 8 PM.

Still, the skaters managed to have some fun. Joannie tried to show her most angry look when Stéphane hit her again accidentally after the trio throw (Johnny, Stéphane and Joannie) which they were assigned to do for the opening. Mao made everybody laugh when she answered 'Yes, a electric cooker' to the question of 'Do you plan to give a present for Shen and Zhao's wedding?' at the press conference. When the cliche of rivalry was brought up again, Alexei and Evgeni looked at each other and then Alexei answered: 'We have competitions now... we play Ping Pong.' (wrong! ::yaz-yk:

this said Plushy)

Before leaving, we were glad to be informed by various sources that Shen and Zhao were considering shows for next year and, if possible, in other cities. This would be a great help to advertise figure skating. We are more than thankful to all the skaters who devote themselves to this sport, and wish them the best of luck each step they take.

Перевод:
"Несмотря на то, что допуск Евгения Плющенко к соревнованиям в следующем сезоне остаётся неясным, его "Секс-бомба" перевернула каток вверх дном. В общем серьёзный олимпийский чемпион был милым. Смешным? Очень! Кроме того, он любит делать сюрпризы - во втором отделении ведущий объявил намного более сложную (intensive) Олимпийскую программу "Танго" вместо указанной в списке "Je suis malade". Евгений продемонстрировал нам свой дар: его скорость была такой высокой, словно парение сокола, и мы даже не замечали время, нужное ему, чтобы разогнаться. Когда он выполнил свой третий за вечер тройной аксель, зрители просто ахнули перед тем, как разразиться криками.Также он был единственным, кто сделал каскад из тройных прыжков. Более того, чувство юмора никогда не покидало 28-летнего россиянина. Он покачивал бёдрами ( twisted and swung), утрируя танцевальные движения, в углу, где висел баннер "Алексей, ты наш чемпион"."
