Twitter might be a good place to look. Skate Canada CEO William Thompson is on twitter and he's a blabber mouth (if I were a skater I'd never let him lay eyes on me because he'd tell the world everything he saw me doing). So far he says that Shen & Zhao look good, not like they've been away 3 years.

A friend of mine came to see the official practice, and he told me Shen/Zhao was in very good shape, their throws and twist were as huge as past, and their jumps were solid. And even their speed was very fast, too.

Zhang/Zhang had a very good practice, too.

Oda was struggling with some jumps, so as Kostner. Denis Ten and Akiko Suzuki was very good .

All the ice dance team in second group had great practice.

It's a disaster!

S/Z, Z/z looks very good in the practice video. Even their SBS jumps looked solid. K/N dress is very much expected from them, i believe they are increasing their acrobatics in their routine compared to previous years.

Evan: go change your hair!!

It's the mop top hair-do or the Chace Crawford look. I think he has to go with this look because of the Ralph Lauren sponsorship.

 

[life684]

Ivan looks less tan and more make up to me. I am sure he will atleast add three coats of paint to his face tommorow.

Nagasu and Armin looks cute in their pictures.

Good luck to all of them.

And I thought that Aliona&Robin would win the most horrible costume award, but they have competition now...

 

[Charlotte Elizabeth]

I personally like how Evan looks, but I hope it won't be too much for performance.
But on this picture he looks very stylish, very Ralph Lauren. I like his hair.
