(2) And Cannuscio/McManus are blogging for IN from Skate America.

Their first post from Thursday is very nicely written.
My favorite part is when he affectionately teases that she has been known to get lost in a grocery store. Ironic b/c as a foodie with her own cooking blog, she prob. has had to navigate many a grocery aisle.

Well for American dance fans, Skate America is almost here:

There are only seven couples competing in dance, and 3 of them are Americans:

Meryl DAVIS / Charlie WHITE USA
Lynn KRIENGKRAIRUT / Logan GIULIETTI-SCHMITT USA

Okay time to revive this thread so we can talk about how things are looking now that the GP is done....I'll add my thoughts in a bit! Until then, discuss.

ETA: Yes, I'm copying whoever did it on the Canadian side.

Aldridge & Eaton will be competing at the JGPF, which runs at the same time & location as the GPF, Sochi. They qualified second, with 2 wins, in a field of 6 teams.

So Meryl & Charlie won't be the only US dancers at the GPF/JGPF

What do you Aldridge/Eaton's chances are to podium or even win?

[dorispulaski]

There chances to win are small, I think. Stepanova & Bukin should win by a mile. A&E won both their events, but their scores aren't that close to S&B; I do think they have a chance at a medal. After all, they are the returning bronze medallists at Jr Worlds. They are competing against 4 Russian teams & Papadakis/Cizeron.
