It looks like it's the same Shakalov that competed for UZB.

LADIES:
BLR Viktoria Liakhava

FIN Kiira Korpi
FIN Laura Lepistö
FIN Alisa Mikonsaaari
FIN Cecilia Törn
JPN Akiko Suzuki
RUS Sofia Biryukova
RUS Alena Leonova
RUS Ksenia Makarova
SWE Linnea Mellgren
USA Amanda Dobbs

Again a battle of the russian senior ladies, not as interesting as the juniors but still Akiko can easily win this.

I doubt that,Ksenia isn't the least in there either,akiko better be careful she doesn't make any mistakes,she's not the youngest either.

I cant believe Berntsson and AriPekka still want to compete.

Kristoffer answers:

"It's still fun to skate and practicing makes me happy ."

"My goal is to do better than my ninth place in worlds 2007. It is
extra great for me, because worlds is taking place in Japan, where I have many fans."


So why not? Go Kristoffer

John Kerr's Facebook:

Not going to Finland after all this week ;-(

[Shaba22]

Sinead Kerr suffered a subluxation of the shoulder in practice and there was no way that she was going to be able to recover in time. They have also withdrawn from 'Riverdance on Ice' which they were supposed to be performing in next week. They are hopeful that if Sinead's recovery goes well they will be able to participate in Skate Canada next month.

Thanks Doris and Hannaxxxxxxs

[joeperryfan]

I guess videos are killing interest in photos... though i still think each has its own uses, I hope others feel the same way

Photos on my site by photographer Tomas Whitehouse, feel free to share the links, but if you want to use the photos ask the photographer first (including to upload to social networks).

Kiira! 3T-3T! Over 60 this early already!
Now Akiko has an "e" on her flip? In 2008-09 it was her flip that got an edge call, last year it was her lutz, this year it's back to her flip? Still a decent score though, only negative GOEs on the first combo (with the flip) Her PCS is higher now though

Ksenia..
