Is anyone else getting excited about how this series is shaping up?
With a changing of the guard in senior ladies' singles, I am finding myself looking more and more to the future. Especially if you are a USA figure skating fan, there is a lot to cheer about as the halfway event commenses in Romania this weekend.
Although there are many skaters yet to come, so far US men, ladies and pairs (!) are leading the way. In men's, Kanallakan and Carriere are #1 an #2 so far, with Oi and Mroz also (perhaps temporarily) in the top six.
USA has four ladies who are off to a good start and could make the finals, Zhang, Wagner, Cannarozzo and Hyatt (and this doesn't even count Rachael Flatt, who had to withdraw from the Mexico City event and probably will not get two more assignments).
In pairs, McLaughlin/Brubaker and Pflumm/Pottenger are in first and second places so far.
Kimmie, Mao, Yu-na and Elena G. may dominate the scene for the next couple of years, but they will have to keep one eye looking over their shoulders in 2010.
