Yes! I have been saying the same thing.

Indie music?! The concert I just came home from was bonafide indie -- Beach House!
How does Karen Chen get beat by Angela Wang and not make the podium?
Too bad about Kanako...
IN tweeted that the Ladies SP is available, not that is was necessarily 'full' -- though I would assume that it would be.
I haven't watched all 2 hours of it, but I'm curious where the remaining time went as the event lasted about 2 hours and 45 minutes. Maybe just one ice resurface and 4 warm-ups were edited out?

Like everyone else is saying, after this competition I view Hubbell and Donohue as being in a really tough position. They really HAVE to make a push this year if they want to be viewed as a top US team, and while I wouldn't say it is definitely doom yet, this was not a good way to start the push. Based on last year, I expect Hawayek and Baker to slip comfortably into the number 2 spot this year for US teams, leading the Shibs and H/D to battle it out yet again for third, and H/D don't have a good track record in that battle. As others have already said, next year the battle for third is just going to get bigger as promising junior teams come up to seniors. Thomas and Eton also don't suck for a brand new team, especially considering the fact that she has NO prior senior experience. By the Oly year they could be challenging for third too. At the moment C/B is probably the only truly safe team, and H/D are not making a convincing case for themselves.
Based in last year? Shibs were better than H/B.

Satoko speaks in English...considering her extreme shyness, I think she's doing a great job! You go, Satton!
:agree: It was so cool to see/hear Satoko speaking English that I had made note of this vid in this thread last night .
Happy for it to get another mention, esp. b/c she spoke Japanese in her post-SP vid.
Congratulations to Satoko, Elizabet, and Angela :yay:. And to Madi/Zach and the other dance medalists .
Wow Satoko's english is really impressive, Elizabet's english is also super cute too. Cuteness overload:
What does "Satton" mean?
Yes but the Shibs have been more or less stagnant for years too, just a bit ahead of H/D, with the one obvious exception of a more-or-less fluke world medal from which they've regressed. H/B on the other hand are on a clear upward trajectory.
This is just my prediction/how I see it. I could be wrong and don't really care if I'm wrong- I like all 3 teams fine, and in fact have been a big fan of H/D and their programs for years, but at the end of this season I'm predicting the rankings are going to be:
1. C/B -rather large gap-
2. H/B -smaller but still clear gap-
3. Shibs -tiny gap-
4. H/D
well, it is definitely easier go from 9 to 5 than 5 to 1st. I think at their best H/B will be fighting for the second spot with Shibs. Not Shibs and H/D for the 3rd.
I think it's just a nickname.
