Joe, that's just the point I was trying to make on the sly (hoping that Michelle fans and Sasha fans wouldn't notice). Sasha and Michelle certainly have no intention of going to Japan.Joesitz said:And Michelle and Sasha will say 'what the heck I'll fly to Japan'. MM I know you are all worked up for this, but I think we have to see exactly what is happening.
But Irina and Evgeni are definitely going both to Japan and to St. Paul. Why would they do this, in an Olympic year when the conventional wisdom says to hunker down, guard your options, don't burn youself out, peak at the right time, don't risk injury, don't weary yourself with jet lag or with too much skating, don't expose yourself to a foreign audience or to foreign judges, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Study long, study wrong. In sports strategy you can outthink yourself. I think the best possible preparation for the Olympics is just to go out there and skate.
We'll see. But I bet at least two of the three -- Carolina, Fumie and Miki -- will be at Campbell's.
You can run, but you can't hide. Sooner or later you have to skate.
