Czisny & Hughes delayed by bad weather.

Not necessarily - Johnny said it was an easy one because the change is exactly 24 hours, or more or less.

I think Johnny might be wrong about the time change or he's coming from a different area. From the East Coast, Tokyo is 13 hours ahead.

 

[Mathman]

Um, think about it. A 24 hour time difference? Maybe Johnny started with one foot on each side of the International date line.

hwell: Anything related to space-time makes my brain freeze, but here's what he actually said, based on previous experience. Maybe he has special clocks?

Johnny, you’re arriving at Tokyo on March 16th. Is it enough time for you to get acclimated?
Yes, it’s enough time. I’ve been to Japan a lot before and it isn’t very difficult to get acclimated because basically when you go there from the US, you travel for one day. So, when you arrive at Tokyo, it’s like as if you woke up in the morning, it’s not like in the middle of the day. It’s hard for me to get acclimated in Europe actually, because it’s half of the day that you’re missing. And when you go to Asia it’s the whole day that you miss.

I think the basic point is that when you travel to Toyko, it's basically about the same time of day as when you left...except one day ahead in time.

That's right! Oh, to be 22 again. You get on a plane at noon, when you get there it's still noon and away you go! Never mind that your body thinks it's midnight.

Thanks Mathman. I thought it was just me being stupid because that just makes no sense because if the time change is half a day, then morning would be evening, not the same time of day.

does anybody know if the girls are there yet? i hope that this dosen't hurt them. I heard about the airbus landing in JFK, and the runways looked clear... i hope that it is okay where they are leaving from.

Maybe (hopefully?) Alyssa will be in too much of a daze to overthink and will skate a blinder both times.

Did Alissa skate at this rink at the 2005 Grand Prix Final?

There is a picture of Emily & her coach on the USFSA photo page. She looks like she was coming from practice. Have not seen Alissa.

 

[Tinymavy15]

[R.D.]

Kim's been there, don't know about Alyssa.

There were some pictures of Kimmie at the opening ceremonies on USFSA photo gallery.
