I didn't read it last year, but I did like this one. Not skating informative, but always interesting. "Fly'n Ryan is a big Basketball fan eh?

And very much looking forward to seeing the Brunette Tanith.

i think i liked Tanith better as a blonde. Maybe evan likes it darker lol.

I loved reading Laura's tidbits! Sounds like johnny is gonna kick evan's butt here, instead of vicea versa. I have this feeling that johnny is gonna land that quad. Evan... well i can't say. i don't know how his pratcices were going before nationls. i think that if all these other guys hit quads in the SP, evan will be too far behind to catch up. If he does the quad in the LP it might not be clean or if it is, he might fall on the axel. Two perfect performnaces is asking a lot.

I <333 Tanith in brunette! And come on, give Evan some faith, it's just couple of falls in practice, not a big deal, he hits both of them later. Plus, he didn't arrive in Tokyo till like mid-night on Sunday, and went on ice right after that long fight, the boy must be exhausted. Once he recovers from the jetlag, he'll kick some serious butts for sure. I'm rooting for him, and believe that he'll do very well on Wed and Thur. Go Evan!!!

Where's Kimmie??

Is there something wrong with this pic? Jeff looks ... well, fat. It can't be!

Johnny looks great. Costume is simple but sharp. I have a good feeling about him here. ETA: Just realized this is a practice outfit. Well, maybe he should perform in it. Nice - athletic looking.

Where's Kimmie??

If you search Getty Images for "Kimmie Meissner", she's already there...there's quite a nice picture of her at the opening ceremony in Tokyo

I think it was Alissa and Emily who got stuck.

 

[R.D.]
