4CC Entries

Speaking of male skater "Min-seok", "Seok" sounds very similar to English word "suck".

Continuing on my university saga, I went to teacher training on my final year (I was at teacher's college) and was assigned to a class to shadow one of the senior teachers. One of the boys' name in my class was "Bum-seok (first name) You(Last name)". Koreans put their family name first and given name last, so basically this kid was called You Bum-Suck.

Sorry for the distractions, now back to business.

When do the skaters have to decide if they want to go to 4CC? How much notice do they have to give.?

Does anyone in the assigned group not care to go? Those Alternates must be practicing and hoping.

A prediction with a high (100%?) probability of coming true (regardless of the outcome).

Thank you for the distractions. A few big smiles and laughs make my evenings much happier.

To differentiate three of us in the same class, the faculty labeled me Mary Kim A, the second girl Mary Kim B and the third one Mary Kim C. This tops any residential school in Northern Ontario.

Funny we had Kim A. & Kim B in my 1st and 2nd grade class - I was Kim B. My last name actually begins with a B and the other Kim's last name actually began with an A. so it worked out well for us - even our middle names were the same!

Does anyone know why Ando is only an alternate?

They did the same last year, they sent 1 and 2 from Nationals and 4.

Disclaimer: another non-serious post

On the funny name subject:
Let's do some translating into portuguese

mao = mal = badly
asada = assada = baked

fedor = stench

So, in portuguese, Mao Asada is someone that didn't stay in the oven long enough and Fedor Andreev is just a boy with a smelly name

I now have an image of a legion of angry Fedor fans marching on Portugal.

It's going to be a three-way showdown between Abbott, Chan and Kozuka, all with exceptional skills and fantastic skaters' skaters. I think I haven't felt as excited about a rivalry in YEARS! And 4CC is almost like the new Euros!

Don't forget about Oda who overtook Kozuka for the Japanese National title and he also overtook Weir and Ponsero for the NHK Trophy this season. He's certainly in the medal mix too! I'm very excited about 4CC too!!
