Great draw for Yu-Na. Right in the middle of that second to last flight. Not so great for Joannie though.

The last 2 groups are going to be exciting. I wish Alissa was earlier. Can't be good for her to have to wait that long.

 

[Mafke]

I'm so glad the ISU is finally seeding skaters to some extent rather than randomizing the SP starting order.

Where IS Alissa???

 

[reaal1]

2nd to last

 

[R.D.]

interesting that she's in the group with the top skaters. She's unproven in major comps like this.

 

[Spun Silver]

No, I meant physically. Moot q now, I guess.

 

[Spun Silver]

Has there been any sign of her at practice or even in Tokyo?

 

[flying camel]

The suspense is killing me. Has anyone seen Alissa in Tokyo? Are there any more practice reports anywhere for the ladies.

 

[R.D.]

calm down everyone

 

[Mathman]

Well, Alissa is next-to-last to skate, so she can come flying in at the last moment, running onto the ice pulling her costume on just as her name is called.

 

[Spun Silver]

Hey, we have strict rules on this forum. No images of half-naked lady skaters!

 

[attyfan]

IIRC, she said that she skated better during some GP events, when she didn't know she would be competing until the last minute. Maybe, she is doing this to insure she is "psyched up" for Worlds.

 

[iloveaxel]

where is

Where is my little Mao??

Best luck to Mao, Yu-Na, Kimmie, Joannie and Mira Leung. Oh, yes, Alissa.

 

[R.D.]

Hey, we have strict rules on this forum. No images of half-naked lady skaters!

shouldn't the same thing apply to the men?

 

[Spun Silver]

Oh man, you definitely got me there. *Points to REAL culprit* It was Kwanford who made me do it.
ETA: J/k - I take full responsibility for my hypocrisy! Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
