Saw him early this afternoon crossing the street over to the hotel. He looks bigger than I thought he would in person. I have to admit; he really is very good looking.

Practices are not open to the public. The overall report was that everyone looked good and then not so good. In other words, everyone had their ups and downs.

I saw Brian last year at Worlds in LA. and got the same impression. He was very good looking and was friendly and polite to everyone. We were surprised because he is suposedly quite arrogant but he was actaully sort of shy and seemed happy that people knew who he was.

I think he gets loads of bad publicity because of his macho and arrogant style on the ice and his candidness with the press..
I really hope he has a better showing in NHK to boost his confidence.

Miki's 3/3s 'look sharp', Dai's quads don't look good, Kozuka's quads look good.

Can you honestly say you're suprised, given many female contenders reducing the jump content due to significant UR penalty fears?
Unless she's planning to take on Yuna, I doubt she'll ever do 3+3 from now on.

Can someone pls tell me when the compulsaries start with GWT or central european? I keep getting confused with eastern time, japanese time etc.. I thought eastern time was GWT - 5 as NYC is 5 hrs behind of London but last week I found out I was wrong..
