Prior to the actual competition starts on Friday, Akiko, Mirai and Dice (Murakami ) visited a Junior High School which was severly damaged by the Earthquake in March 2011 today!

Any practice reports yet? Rooting for Mirai to top the podium. She needs it to be considered again among the top contenders in the world. She was the bronze medalist in the last Vancouver Olympics had it not been for the passing of Joannie's mom or not in Canada.

Is that some kind of a joke. You can't be serious.

[let`s talk]

^ NHK is covering the stuff quite well, I can't follow everything, pity that's a good deal is on BS channel, that's not on KeyHole, so people outside Japan can't see it. Here's more from today:

Dice Murakami has dislocated his right shoulder upon a fall on a jump... Says 'incomplete dislocation', not 'complete' one, though...I sincerely hope he is fine.

I've got a VPN with a Japanese server setting, so I can be inside Japan, virtually speaking. Do you have the specific links to anything online that is free to Japanese IP addresses?
