    Also, it would make the GPF look a little less than a cheesefest, because till now it looks like that: no Chan, no Lambiel, no Joubert...

    According to the isu website....Igor Macypura has taken that spot at Skate America. Currently, there are no empty spots in the mens roster.

    A clean Rippon looks better to me than a clean Johnny at this point.
    Was Johnny really skating a Wilson choreo? Looked mostly like same old Johnny except for some of the steps.

    Hmm, Plushenko just said it, minutes ago at the press conference. So I don't know, maybe something changed since they last updated the page.

    ...
    Are you sure?? The roster of SA has already been updated with Igor Macypura replacing Takahito Mura and there are no free spots left according to ISU page :

    http://isu.sportcentric.net/db//files/serve.php?id=1631

    Can they retire one invitation from a skater if its already been assigned??

    Hm... that will certainly make SA a bit more exciting.

    Joubert isn't done yet? If others bomb or wd, he'll be there.

    I prefer Adam over Johnny too. My dream USA mens' team is: 1. Abbott, 2. Rippon, and 3. Weir.

    It appears that the page was just updated today as Igor Macypura was not on there yesterday.

    Not sure about that but agree adding plushy to SA would be good for both SA and as noted particularly for the GPF.

    Damn, all I have to say is that if Plushenko skates like this at the Olympics, then it might be over for the other men. I hope the other guys are watching this performance and be prepared to fight for gold.

    When I saw the withdrawal from SA, I thought for a while they may give it to Plushenko, but since it seems it has been filled, it seems that is no longer a possibility.

    It would have been nice, Evgeni has not done SA since 1998.

    It would be great for the Grand Prix of course but I don't think is fair for the rejected skater (poor Macypura). I'm actually surprised Lambiel has not been invited. More likely he's not interested because I really doubt the federations didn't think of him as their first choice for a replacement. And I think he should have another competition before Euros cause he wasn't great at Nebelhorn.

    It's what I just read.

    Lambiel said that he didn't want to do GP assignments outside of Europe now.

    I love Plushenko's camel, you see all his ballet training there. He really needs to work on the speed in the footwork, Lysacek does flailing unmusically to the music better and faster these days.
