On a positive note, I think it's CRAZY that (1) the reigning world champ, (2) the only lady to win both of her GP assignments this season, (3) the ISU's #2 skater, and (4) the highest-placing lady from Japan at GPF are all different skaters. A ridiculously deep field.
Yes, definitely.
I'm sorry Akiko got the boot. At least we get to see her one more time at 4CC. I missed out on the Tokyo Worlds reservation registration raffle (wanted to see Yu-na's Arirang live), so I might just try 4CC (don't think I'll have too much competition in Taipei)
