When Are Skaters Leaving For Japan?

[lutzskate]

Anyone know when skaters are slated to leave? How much time will they give themselves to train and adjust to that time zone? Has anyone heard when different skaters are scheduled to go?

Denkova & Stavinsky, Brain Joubert, Nobunari Oda, Daisuke Takahashi, Mao Asada and Miki Ando are already in Japan. I think Jeff Buttle as well, but I'm not sure.

(Sounds silly to put Japanese skaters here, but they all actually trained overseas ).

The Chinese team will depart on Saturday morning(March 17th).

Johnny is getting there tomorrow (16th). He says the time change is 24 hours so not hard to adjust to - easier than going to Europe, for him.

The Kerrs are leaving tomorrow, according to John's most recent journal entry!

Jeff and Chris Mabee were on our local news last night. They're leaving today (Friday).

According to Jeff, the quad has been training well and he'll be putting it in his program at worlds in order to be competitive for the top spot.

He landed a gorgeous triple axel, triple toe combo on camera.
