What Mathman said! I'm so glad they're all practicing well and I hope they all kick butt in competition! All three of these women are so special.
Shizuka's nothing short of regal when she's at her best. I want to see her prove to herself that the gold in Dortmund wasn't a fluke.
Miki has huge potential as long as she can find her own style - she's not quite there yet, but I see no reason why she can't get there, and soon.
Fumie skates with a quiet joy that's always spoken to my heart. (Corny, yes, but there you go.) It's not the kind of emotionalism you'd find in, say, Michelle - where you're crying by the footwork sequence - but it's spellbinding nonetheless. Matt Savoie has a similar effect on me.
And to think that there are several more back home with similar potential! As a skating fan, that just rocks my world.

I'm backing team Japan!
