no really

 

[Sai Bon]

Just the first four

G2 has a former World Championships Silver Medalist, a former Grand Prix Finalist, and another former Grand Prix Medalist. That's some impressive star power that will be skating before the main broadcast even begins.

Yikes, just realised Wakaba is in Group 2...

There's no gala this year?

 

[YuBluByMe]

I was going to give Yoshida props for doing a 3Lz+3T as the second to last element, but then she immediately traveled from New York City to Vancouver in her final spin.
