Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover to musical selections by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The program earned level 4 for all five elements – a first – and a personal best 70.70 score. They placed fifth. The Toronto-based team explained recent changes made to their program. “We wanted a waltz that was a little bit softer, so we could really show off the work on the key points – make them less spikey, which is why we were losing points earlier in the season,” Poirier said. “We took out some turn to make it more obvious where we were trying to get the levels. I think it paid off.” --- #figureskating #フィギュアスケート #eiskunstlauf #фигурноекатание #피겨스케이팅 #pattinaggioartistico #patinageartistique #icedance thanks to Kim!
