I'm so happy that Hanyu and Dai brought up Kevin, that's the kind of respect overdue from Skate Canada.
I hope Kaetlyn and Zijun Li both deliver two flawless programs! and Gold and Mao.
And for all the teams/skaters, Go for a great competition!

Kevin gets lots of love and respect from skating fans in Japan, too! Hope he has two nice skates and gets onto the podium. Go Kevin!

This one says that Asada is going for a 3-3. I guess it would be the 3F-3Lo in the FS. In today's practice session, she landed the 3-3 three times along with the 3A.
Jump layout on paper?
3A
2A-3T
3F-3Lo
3Lz
3S
3Lo-2Lo-2Lo
3F
I'm excited. Would be awesome if she can land those planned jumps.

Check out Mao's 3F-3L! I think that second loop is looking mighty good:

So it could be something like:
SP: 3A 3F-2L 3L
LP: 3L 3A 3F-3Lo 3Lz 3S 2A-3T 3F-2lo-2lo
8 triples? Is that allowed in the women's event? I thought 7 was the limit. I could swear Sandra said that during Sarah Hughe's Olympic FS in 2002. Or perhaps I heard her wrong?

I thought repeating a jump (in this case the 3F) in combo was not allowed? Or does a sequence not count as a combo?
