I think its the Worlds and 4CC teams that got them thinking they have to announce everything at once.

 

[denise3lz]

Looks like it starts now.

True true. I guess they have to ask the eligible skaters their preference too, whether to go to Worlds or 4CC.

Do we think Kaori will want to go to Worlds? I feel like she would finish her career at the Olys....

She might be heading to Worlds to reclaim her crown

there are jokes that Hamada and Nakaniwa are having a physical altercation over the Olympic team event representatives.

It really depends on her I'm sure they're asking her all the things now: 4CC, team event preference, Worlds...

 

[lileychristie]

Looks like it starts now.

15 minutes later and we still have just the press conference room with bunch of reporters in total silence

LMAOOOO. Nakano and Graham as the referees?

But man, if Kobe is a bit slower next season with the retirements, I have some names from both Hamada and Nakaniwa I hope will consider moving there....

 

[rabidline]

I'm wondering if 4CC is the hardest to decide. Depending on how you see it that can be Olympics warmup or a chance to get injured too close to the Olympics.

 

[lileychristie]

Finally!

 

[Sabsi]

 

[lileychristie]

They're announcing the Olympic team first right?

Kao is going~

 

[rabidline]

Kao makes it to the Olympics.
