Can't wait to see how China does with one Pairs team, and who are those Singles that will be there?
It's a joke to begin with that Italy isn't there instead of China. I think the people who thought of the qualification process must have had a bad day. What was the main goal, inspire federations to build up well-balanced skating programs? Well, Italy is doing just that, they bought two French guys, and consequently have a top contender in men and a half-decent pair team.Can't wait to see how China does with one Pairs team, and who are those Singles that will be there?
^^ Weren't Mirai and Kimmie the ones that went to the Japan open last year?
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I thought the Japan Open was the competition that featured this performance from Caroline:

Someone posted the planned schedule over on FSUniverse, and apparently it's a GPF type setup, no CDs but otherwise everything's included.I have an inkling that there will be no SPs/CDs/ODs, but I might be wrong.

This program was performed at Japan vs USA Countermatch that took place at the beginning of the 07-08 season (early October). Japan Open used to take place at the end of the season, a few weeks after Worlds. (This year it's been moved to 3rd October because of the WTC). At Campbells and Countermatch some skaters skated their SPs and some their LPs. At Japan Open all skaters skated their free programs.
I have no idea which programs are the skaters going to skate at WTC. The Japanese skaterboys and Miki were talking about including quads, though, so I assume they are doing their LPs..? I have an inkling that there will be no SPs/CDs/ODs, but I might be wrong.
There really is no team.
I feel the same way about the Olympics. The big thing in the Olympic games is which country's team wins the most medals. Well...OK.
What makes the Team in the Olys, is the #^*+% media. It's nice to have Amricans win international sports, but so is it nice for more deserving competitors. Go Bode Miller.I feel the same way about the Olympics. The big thing in the Olympic games is which country's team wins the most medals. Well...OK.
I have a feeling Rachael and Caroline won't feel like they're in a bobsled. It's true that their fortunes are linked monetarily for this event. But when the show season starts, both of them will want the designation of de facto top American lady to drive up their asking price.
Go Bode Miller.
After the last Olympics I wrote a letter to the USOC telling them that I would not be sending them any further contributions to pay for Bode Miller's booze and partying (...so I sent it to Michael Phelps' support fund instead. )
and the price of pot went up.(...so I sent it to Michael Phelps' support fund instead. )
no wonder Bode is downing those beers.in regard to michael phelps, supporting,
no only pot but also all of the products his face is on . like subway, etc.
that is another reason--food prices and other products are high due to sponsorship of atheles, movies stars and pro's. the head honchos and marketing department don't pay for the cost.
normal people do.
