^^^Yes I made the decision to go, even though it was probably a bit piantao on my part. I figure our favorites all have such short careers, so you gotta just do it. Plus it's highly unlikely Shoma will have Sk Amer or Sk Can next year, GPF is in Japan, no Olympics for me -- so I just don't see when the next opportunity will be for me to see him skate. I always worry that one misstep, and a career can be over. Not to be overly pessimistic :roll5: , but you never know.
Oh no, sounds like I missed the usual in the AWG thread. Dare I look. Let me guess -- underrotated, overrated, prerotated, messy landings, 3.5 jumps, judges' pet, and of course no transitions. And that's just for starters. Short program? Get it done.
