I don't have any favorites this time, I just hope the Americans do well. And I have to admit I am especially interested in Agnes Zawadzki. I didn't think too much of her at her previous outing in Skate Canada, except her jumps of course, yet I sincerely hope to see that change in the future. Who knows, she might turn out to be the new American Tonya Harding, speaking skating only of course.

[Layfan]

Me neither - no favorites. Good luck to all but especially to Ashley for a successful rebound.

[Trewyn]

Crossing my fingers for Ashley and Akiko!!!!!

[R.D.]

If Wagner can put out a strong showing, she has a great chance at a medal here. Probably not Gold though since Ando is in the field.

[ordinary person]

Sounds less exciting,i guess Akiko is the only one who could beat Miki here then.

I really hope Akiko can clean up her programs and put up 2 outstanding skates here. At Cup of China, I enjoyed her programs more than the rest and that included Miki's. If Akiko goes clean or nearly so, she might be able to beat Miki.

[ordinary person]

I really hope so too,this is really about Miki and Akiko

[Atena]

hey guys...thta russian online chanel will brodcast this?

[MrScroogeMcDuck]

Zawadzki up now.

[Trewyn]

If Zwadzki is skating now, the Russian feed seems to have a bigger delay than just 10 minutes. Anyway; big score that first Russian girl!!

New SB for Zawadzki. 56.84. Samson of Canada is about a third of the way through her program now.

Samson in 3rd (out of 3) with a so-so skate.
