About the program
Mishina and Galliamov won the Cup of China free skate with 135.15, using a Liebestraum program they first skated in 2023/24. The neutral athletes (AIN) brought it back after setting aside new programs made in May. Tamara Moskvina noted the world hadn't seen it, as they spent four years out of international events.
Mishina told Channel One the first version was tender young love. Now it's adult love between two people with a shared history. Rambler says it gained a choreographic lift and spin for new rules.
In China the only blemish was a q on the first jump of the triple Salchow-Euler-triple Salchow sequence.
Fans on r/FigureSkating are split. Some call them the most consistent pair ever, while others find the skate slow and the music a snooze.
