when in doubt, blame the reeds
I thought the Japanese dancers and pairs did very well in the SP. The pair's beat 2 other pairs, and nicely for a first year pair. Japan might not have made it to the final if not for the contribution of its pair and dance teams who skated their best, which is what one hopes for in a teammate.
Gallagher 's journal , over dramatized as usual. Japan have no solid shot for medal in the first place.
ITA. What's next? Hanyu to have flu? Or Asada to lose 3Lp? :sarcasm: My honest feeling is do we really need every new thread for every single article from Japan Times to be post here??? then we may need like a hundred threads by the end of the Games for this Mr Journalist sake... Personally, would appreciate it if all these threads can be combined to something like 'Japan Times articles on Sochi Games'.
