If Alissa does wel at Skate Canada there is always the possibility of a second event opening up later on (not wishing anyone bad luck.) When Alissa did so well a couple of years ago, with a gold at Skate Canada and a silver at Skate America, if I remember correctly both times she got the chance to compete at the last minute as an alternate when Michelle and Sasha withdrew.I'm so happy Alissa got SC. It has always been a good event for her. If she medals, which isn't a long shot, I'll be soooooooo happy.

Go Kevin Van der Perren!Skate America looks to be all about the guys this time...
I hope Melissa and Denis nab that third spot at Skate America. I can't believe that US Figue Skating didn't just give it to them already. Yes, they missed all of last season, but it they had a great season the year before and they've represented the US very well.
I hope that the Didiers are training hard.
Zhang is up against Joannie Rochette in both of her events. One will very likely knock the other out, and Rochette will have the home crowd advantage in Canada. At the moment Caroline looks like long shot, since she also faces Mao Asada in France and Carolina Kostner in Canada.Zhang's 2nd assignment is the Trophee Bompard. Perhaps we will "only" have to wait 2 weeks rather than 3 to know that she qualifies for the final.
Then again, Caroline is at the age where she might be much improved from last year. :yes:
