Curious about where bluelutz is getting the jump info because I can't find it on the page.

Bump, since the same question seems to be popping up.

Wow, congrats to Haruka Imai for doing so well. She's holding up! Maybe even a top 6 finish if she gets some help from some of the senior skaters!

Though I share your sentiments about Haruka doing well, I don't want her to get "help from some of the senior skaters", since that means that some of the Olympic contenders won't perform to their ability!

Are they doing warm-ups for the last group now?

Haha, yea I know what you mean! I really want Junior skaters to do well - since it's so exciting to see up and coming skaters, you know? At the same time, I want the seniors to blow the competition right out of the water (ice?). Well, I guess I just want everyone to do their best.

Junior ladies are indeed doing great. On the roster, I see numbers #1-6 except for #4. Who was #4 Junior lady and why isn't she here? Too young?

**bluelutz** · 12-27-2009, 04:32 AM

Junior lady #4 is Miyahara, I think.
She is actually still novice age,
and was invited to the Junior nationals,
which means too young for this senior competition.

Wow! Note to Rest of World: Lift game in Ladies Skating. Japan has a seemingly inexhaustible supply of great young skating ladies storming the barriers for at least...oh...the rest of my lifetime.
