No disrespect to anyone at NHK but I'd do just about anything to see Zijun win gold. That would be something
Disagree about Anna. She is like Gracie Gold with worse spins. Her potential is HUGE! If she hits her jumps, beware everybodyMy fav here are Ashley and Anna. Of course I would like to see both of them on the podium winning gold and silver so that Anna could go to GPF but that is pretty much impossible so I pray for at least Ashley to take the silver. And the most beautiful 2 programs of this season belong to Kaetlyn. If she could skate thme clean that would be a gold medal. Ok, maybe somewhere outside Japan and out side Canada also)) Mao is a darling, is just that is very hard for me to root for the favourite and I don't particulary like her programs this season. But I would like to see some 3A from her

Any practice reports?
She's done it in the past. I like the underdogs, always rooting for them, so... but she has to show us to clean programs. and i always wondered since I first saw her as a junior why is everybody complaining about her spins. When her spins are centered they look amazing, with big rotation speed. Well, at least this is how I see them. I know she can botched them the way she can fall in any moment of the program, but that is something else.
I am a fan of Ashley also because she used to be an underdog, or the almost girls as she called herself, since she was 16. I liked her and felt her ambition. Now she is not an underdog anymore but not the usual favourite either so she still needs me)). At first i didn't like at all her SP but felt different when I saw it in competition at her first GP. I wonder if Ashley gets the bronze (but I can't wish her that because I am still dreaming of 2 perfect programs without UR) and Anna silver that means that Anna qualifies?
Mao is doing well...landing her 3As. In the morning SP runthrough, she doubled the end of her combo and fell on the last jump.
Haven't read news on the other ladies yet.
when does the competition beginn?
:agree: Wow, I couldn't have said it better myself. Leonova can definitely do well in the SP and I love everything about her Chaplin program. Unfortunately, even when skated cleanly her LP IMO, is a mile behind Ashley's . I still haven't seen Mao's programs so, I can't comment on her at this point.

I'm anxious to see if anyone will be able to post any practice videos!
