This is sort of an intermediate view rather than a preview, since several skaters have already competed in the Short program.

However, since the bios are done, I'm posting them. I was particularly interested myself to find out about the very young ISU program in Argentina. Getting a country started in skating is not easy.

Maria Andrea An ARG
Maria does not have an ISU biography at this time.
A video of her skating at the 2010 Argentine championships
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=719lMABTV54
A group of skaters from Argentina made a trek to Skate Milwaukee in 2011, mostly in order to see what an ISU sized rink and training facilities looked like. All them were training on ice about one quarter the size of an Olympic rink. A newspaper report
