Hello, everyone! This is probably a dumb question, but when does the next season officially start? Has it already started? I want to be able to follow what's going on instead of hearing about competitions and stuff after they've already happened. I know Yuzuru participated in Fantasy on Ice, but I'm confused as to what the event means.
Thanks!
Right now, lots of ice shows are going on in Japan, they are just exhibitions and not a competition but the competitive season will start for all the skaters at different times depending on which competition they choose to begin their season with.
...for Yuzu, it is the Autumn Classic in September.
Here is a list of the early competitions and who from team Japan will be going to which ones:
Asian Open Trophy (Hong Kong, China, Aug. 2-5): Keiji Tanaka, Kaori Sakamoto
CS Lombardia Trophy (Bergamo, Italy, Sept. 13-17): Shoma Uno, Wakaba Higuchi
CS US International Skating Classic (Salt Lake City, UT, USA, Sept. 14-17): Marin Honda, Kaori Sakamoto, Takahito Mura
CS Autumn Classic International (Montreal, QC, Canada, Sept. 20-23): Yuzuru Hanyu, Mai Mihara

(Yuzuru said Oda was so quiet before the camera was on but suddenly he became cheerful when the interview started.)
He was cute :luv17:
