Should be interesting to see who wins this. Rochette or Kostner should be on top for ladies. The men is a tossup - wonder if we'll see any quads from Oda?

I forgot about this one! I guess Plushenko is doing an exhibition?

I think so. They also have an accompanying gala, New Year's on Ice on Saturday and Sunday. All the competitors except Ando will appear. They added Akiko Suzuki and Yuzuru Hanyu instead.

This is happening tomorrow! It's going to broadcast on CS channels so I won't be able to watch it.
Hopefully we'll get the videos quickly online.

Gambatte everyone!

Some Fluff about Nobu's training, and you can see Jeff in there too.
Go everyone!

It's TBS 2.

 

[irinas]

So we can't watch it after all?

 

[Perdita]

It's CS TBS 2, which is a rather uncommon pay channel. I highly doubt there's any stream.
The recorded version will be broadcasted by BS TBS tomorrow at 17:00 (Japan time). This is also a pay channel but I think I have seen few streams for BS channels in the past so there may be.

I don't have CS but BS at home so gotta wait till tomorrow... :disapp:

Love it, she's amazing again.
Her first spin was a bit wild, but she looks the most confident of all the skaters I think.

71.27 in first! Yay!
