The competition for Campbells was before Skate America. Who knows except Cohen how she will do if she shows? Look at poor Johnny Wier, he didn't have a chance to give my elite fav Jeff and Emmanuel a run for their money because of his foot. Not everyone is an Elvis Stojko ready to compete no matter if their body parts are falling off or not. Some are more human. Elvis is still my fav male pro skater.chuckm said:Cohen is DEFINITELY going to TEB, and so far she has never finished worse than 2nd at a GP event. Her injury was minor and she's already had a prep at Campbell's where she scored 122 points in the FS.
I think Rochette is up against it here. Elena Sokolova is no pushover---she scored 163 points winning gold at Skate America, more than 5 points higher than Rochette scored at Skate Canada. Elena is in great competitive shape this season, the best she's been since 2002-2003, with two wins on her resume (SA and Nebelhorn). And Mao and Shizuka are both formidable skaters.
With Cohen in, I think Joannie making the podium is a bit of a long shot.
