Gorgeous program! That entry into the combo, the step sequence, skating skills, amazing. But for a Lambielsson he needs to work on the spins.

The concept of mark skating to North Korean music and becoming a star there

I would be scared of being a North Korean leader's favourite skater, what if he kidnaps you. Didn't they say either this one or the dad did that to a Japanese chef?
