Video Clip: opening + wedding (until 9'25) + the first two programs(<I believe> Jane Zhang;《天下无双》Jane Zhang skating: Shen/Zhao) sports.qq.com/a/20100905/000317.htmupdate: homevideos recorded by my friend 9.4 Artistry on Ice Lambiel Ne me quitte pas v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjAzOTg0NzY4.html9.4 Artistry on Ice Lambiel Let The Good Times Roll v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjAzOTgyMDY4.htmlShort Report: Opening: Stephane was very energetic as usual. Did side by side 3T with Johnny Weir. Wedding: very romantic, literally like a stunning fairytale. In the end all the skaters hugged the groom and the bride. Stephane was so sweet LTGTR: Stephane blew a kiss during the program JUST IN FRONT OF US. Spins were not at his best, but still fast enough to enchant the audience. Watching this program just made me NMQP: Tears in my eyes when the music started. A very small (even unnoticable, i think) mistake when he did the twizzles (je t'offrirai des perles de pluie) but everything else was PERFECT. I have thought that my dream would be fullfilled after watching Stephane's NMQP and Yagudin's Winter. However for now I just want to watch NMQP again and again...BTW a lovely little girl sitting right beside me said to her mother: "Look mom, it's so beautiful!" when he did the first spin (Je t'inventerai des mots insensés). It really melted my heart Finale: very faaaaaaaast spins, faster than what he did in the two programs. It impressed the audience very much. At the very end of the show, all the skaters ran out again, holding hands with little kids who were carrying baskets full of candies, then they threw the candies to the audience (It is a tradition in china that all the guests who attend the wedding ceremony would be given sweeties and candies). Stephane was the first one who rushed out When his basket was empty, he turned back and quickly got another one to continue his "work". One of my friends saw him helping a little girl picking up candies on the ice ^^ It was so sweet. About the show: Honestly I didn't expect that it would be THAT good. It is the first ice gala show in China, so we (well, not only me but a lot of fs fans) worried about how was everything going on. S/Z and their team, as well as all other skaters, did a very good job for the success of the show. The stadium was full and the atmosphere was always good. It's true that several skaters made some mistakes, fell on their jumps or something, but the quality was still there. Their performances were good enough to draw more attention to figure skating in China. The only thing I could complain about is that the best seats, the center ones, were not available to fans. Great thanks to S/Z and all the skaters coming to China for the wonderful show~ Sorry for no homevideos from me. I decided just to watch instead of to take photos or record, because for me it is the first time (and hopefully not the last time!) to see him skating in a LIVE show and I want to watch with my own eyes as much as possible. AND thanks to everyone again for your warm welcome and kind words. It's pity that i have to stop spamming here like I did in these days BTW I got one of the candies that Stephane threw to us. I wonder what can I do to it. Can I just eat it up?

I also went to yesterday's show and everything was just soooo perfect(except the fact that none of the skater still have candy to throw when they passed our section,lol) I sitted in the east side of the rink, very close to the skaters' entrance. I was sitting there watching very clearly how Stephane interact with Joannie Rochette. He stood so close to her, and talked happily with a great many getures. That was really cute.Also, a little girl dropped Joannie's candies and Stephane quickly skated there, trying to help, that was really sweet. Just as Lutz said, I also don't think Stephane was in the best spinning condition in his routines, nevertheless, the crowd still went crazy. In the finale, he seemed to get back his feeling and spinned really fast. They crowd went even crazier I think his skating speed was really good yesterday which allowed him to cover a lot of ice and interact with most part of the audience~ NMQP was almost a perfect clean program, I enjoyed it so much. In the end, there was a huge ladybug doll thrown to the ground(nearly one meter in length), I really hope he got that After the aftershow party ,Stephane came out with a dozen of photos with autograph and handed them to the fans. I felt so sad that I did not stay there long enough to get one

Thank you for the warm welcome, pianomayahere are some pictures taken by me, but unfortunately, I did not take any pic during Stephane's two programs as I was too focused watching them with my own eyes Athough I was sitting close to the rink,but most times I could only see their backs(so sad ) Opening, Stephane seemed enjoy it ;D All the skaters were standing in a line to congraduate and hug the couple, Stephane was the farest in the sight. Yagudin said he wanted the couple to have a lot of money and a lot of children. Waiting to get on the rink just before the finale. He actually got closer to Joannie seconds after and talked with great joy, I just missed the chance to catch that with my camera lol This one is when Stephane talk to the little girl hoding candies, he spent the most time among all the skaters tried to communicate with kids, that was just so cute. A picture when Stephane passed us(also the cameraman )

Thank you Pia for the information (btw beeeg you to check PM please ). It works for me (Mainland China IP, Firefox). The logo in the first line of the table (the red one) is Shanghai Satellite TV channel, and you can select time then click to connect the stream. Hopefully it works for all of us Now cross my fingers and toes for no cutting any program... In the end, there was a huge ladybug doll thrown to the ground(nearly one meter in length), I really hope he got that I think everyone in the stadium saw the ladybug. The big ladybug and the big bear for Yagudin were one of the highlights of the show, LOL And two photos I'm not sure whether they've been posted img1.gtimg.com/0/94/9400/940053_550x550_0.jpgimg1.gtimg.com/0/94/9400/940058_550x550_0.jpg
