IceNetwork said the Mixed Zone coverage is free to non-subscribers, I thought. So it must just be my college internet that hates me and won't load the video player.

Go, Kristine! Is this her first competition since being injured?

[Tinymavy15]

Did Rachael get a new SP? news to me. what's the music. I am very surprised as i thought she would change her FP by now.

[R.D.]

I feel like putting most of the contenders in the early groups sorta took the suspense out of the event. Oh well...only Wagner and Flatt left and they're among the last ones.

[Nadine]

OMGosh, I just realized I don't know ANYBODY in this group, completely new, never heard of any of them, will be interesting.

[Spun Silver]

Is Morgan Bell wearing one of Sasha's costumes?

[essiejane]

big big thanks to those of you who have visual access to the competition and are sharing with the rest of us! In addition to the big names yet to skate (wagner, flatt), i'm also interested in seeing how lam and bulanhagui do. Bulanhagui seems to have fallen off peoples' radar, but i think she placed as high as 8th a couple of years ago, no?

ita!!

She's now skating to East of Eden, I believe. Caused a bit of a fuss since it's one of Kwan's well-loved pieces.

[R.D.]

I wouldn't crown Agnes just yet. Let's see how she does in the Free. She has had strong shorts before, only to crumble in the free. Shades of Cohen, at least for the moment. But of course, this is her first year so I don't expect that much.

Nadine, watch Vanessa Lam - did fab on junior circuit this year, or was it last? A very beautiful skater already.

[Nadine]

Upon reflection I've been thinking how Alissa is greatly loved, she honestly got the hugest applause imho BOTH b-e-f-o-r-e and *after* her skate! I honestly don't think any other competitor came close, not even the Great Mirai Nagasu. Hmmm....

[Layfan]

So is the man commentating for ice network? He ignored the existence of Mirai in his opening comments saying "we'll see several returning champions and one Olympian, Rachael Flatt." A bit later Tonia said "Er and we can't count out Mirai who is also an Olympian and did so well there."

Works fine for me! Keep on trying.

Technically last year, since it was 2010, haha. But yeah, she had a single JGP assigment this season. Came into it pretty much an unknown, and easily won gold.

[FlattFan]

Vanessa Lam is one of the new girls to watch. Her spins are really nice, and she's so expressive compare to everyone else. Jumps need a lot of work, though. But she beat Japan's #1 junior and Russia's #3 junior on her first outing.
