may I reiterate that the GP has often proved to be a poor "yardstick" to use for predicting the Worlds.
Yes. Although leaving a small chance to come back for the 2009-2010 Olympic season.
It is kind of a bummer to see so many pick Joubert to win, I am not saying it is a bad pick, it is probably a very smart pick, but it just drives home the fact of how likely it probably is. If Lambiel doesnt win (which looks more and more doubtful, although he has time to maybe get it together by Worlds) I really hope it is Takahashi or Weir winning. No offense to Joubert but I like to see the whole package, not just jumps and power skating.
I dunno. Considering she only slipped up once during the worlds, she really didn't do badly at all. She is (was??) just not in the league that the medalists were in.
It may be time to get someone else ready to lead the US.
