Practice Schedules

PaulE · Jan 27, 2009

If anyone finds a link to the detailed practice schedule, would you please post it here. I'm planning on attending and would like to know when to be at the arena to see just as many practices as I can.

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply npa. We are arriving on Sunday but don't have our tickets yet (we have to go to will-call for our tickets since they would not mail them out of Canada). I hope we have a practice ticket that will get us into the practices on Monday and Tuesday. I'm really looking forward to watching all the many participants. It will be interesting to see the skaters from Australia and South Africa.

PaulE · Jan 30, 2009

I apologize but I'm not taking my computer and don't have a very good camera so I hope someone else shows up that can post some practice reports.

It will be interesting to read your reports from the competition. Thank you!

According to the schedule, the ladies are practicing today. I hope we will get a few reports. Then again, I'm not sure the practice sessions are open to the public.

Was anyone at the practices? How did Alissa look?

Okami · Feb 3, 2009

Some practice reports, clips and photos are posted in this thread:
http://maoasada.logu2.com/competiti...7/four-continents-championships-2009-t305.htm

In a nutshell:

Mao didn't attempt jumps in the morning practice - she concentrated on spins, footwork and programs run-through. In the afternoon practice she was shown landing 3A and 3A-2T.

YuNa landed 3-3s (3F UR), 2A, 3-2-2. She struggled with 3Lz (popping it), but eventually managed to land it.

Patrick struggled with 3A.

Nobunari was reported to skate very fast and smooth - but he collided very hard with boards after landing 3A and had some jump problems after that.

In this article the Japanese skaters admitted to feeling a bit uncomfortable with the NHL-sized rink (it's 4 meters narrower than the Olympic one).

I haven't heard anything about other skaters, I'm sorry.

npa · Feb 3, 2009

Okami thank you! :agree:
If you will know something about pairs and dance teams - please, post it :biggrin:

GiuliaPlum · Feb 3, 2009

Yu-Na looked relaxed and confident, with her fantastic "killer" glances in "Danse Macabre". She also showed her tongue to the camera, in a perfect Abbott-style :laugh:

Apparently, Tatiana Tarasova is not there with Mao.

I don't know who is coaching her there?
