Asada had struggled with jumps during the afternoon practice session. But in evening , she succeeded the 3A and 3-3 (probably 3Lo-3Lo) in the run-through practice. "Since I'm skating at home, I can perform better."

In today's official practice session, three Japanese men attempted the 4T. Hanyu landed (twice, from a different source) and Mura landed clean 4-3 (he will go for it in the SP). Although Takahashi had no success, he is optimistic. "At the time of Japan Open, I couldn't land the quad in the practice, but succeeded in the competition."

As an Ashley fan I just loved that USA Today article. Only one less mention of Rachael and of Caroline.

Funny how they consider Caroline, who finished 11th at nationals and had a dissapointing 09-10 season, and not Rachael or Ashley, who finished 1st and 3rd at US nationals and had very successful 09-10 seasons
