Adam Going to Korea as Well

Adam will be joining Johnny Weir and Jeremy Abbott as well as YuNa's Festa in April. Seems like he has more than survived his rites of passage!

Nice opportunity for him. With Champions Tour done, seems relatively fewer opportunities for 'eligibles' to get 'big show' experience which helps their overall performance abilities. (Adam's are already right up there)

I agree, as long as it isn't too much. The training should not be set aside. I guess with Rippon's world traveling experience he should adjust quickly to different rinks and time zones. Some people, like me, are really affected by long distance travel changes. I think the shows really help a skater. I think Patrick Chan moved to a new level this year. He is more expressive and is connecting better to the audience. Some shows are good, too many can have a strain, like Mirai or Tanith and Ben. It seemed like they did a lot of appearances and it hurt their training last season.
