Alexei question

Re: the Winter International Challenge (which should be renamed "Ice Wars: US vs. Russia", International my Aunt Fanny! )

Didn't he anounce his retirement from eligable skating at SC? Well, everyone else in this comp is an eligable skater doing a ISU LP. Will he be the only Pro skater there, or will they replace him with Abt or someone?

I just checked out the contestants and you are absolutely correct it looks more like an Ice War between USA and Russia. And Yags is listed among all thos ISU skaters. You figure.

One thing I will get another look at MK's Tosca. I hope she is doing it. I've been very critical of her using this dark music. Hopefully, Irina shows up so we can get a glimpse of her too. And Timmy with the proper boots (I hope) meeting Plushy head to head. Should be fun. I'd like to see them both skate their best.
