It's a shame that Rochette is not competing this year because she already looks really good. However, I can understand taking some time off after all that went through during the Olympic. I hope we haven't seen the last of her in competition. I'm sure there are a lot of ladies breathing a sigh of relief that she's not competing this year!
I thought Joannie had not decided yet, I just assumed she was not taking part in the Grand Prix? There is a TBA for her for Skate Canada?? I am sure she would re-think after Japan Open.
