NHK Trophy
Alternate title, "La, la, la, the men don't exist..." Like I'm not getting anxious despite my attempts to ignore...
Ladies: Miki, Ashley, Yukari. I really hope, because that'll get Ashley to the Finale and make her a major frontrunner for Vancouver. I must have some singles skater there I can cheer enthusiastically for. Though first, since I'll be napping after the pairs, I hope I don't accidentally sleep through it! Also looking forward to: Sarah Meier. I wouldn't mind if she made the podium either(just not at Ashley's expense, please!)
Pairs: Pang-Tong, Kavaguti-Smirnov, Denney-Barrett. Again I suppose gold could go either way, but that Pang and Tong beat K&S on the latter's home ice says a lot. Also looking forward to: Will Rena and John land that axel again? It looked so easy at TEB it's hard to call that a fluke, and if they get it here, it officially won't be.
Ice Dance: Davis-White, Kerr-Kerr, Crone-Poirier. Hopefully with the second getting a high enough score to give them a chance at the Finale going into the score tiebreaker. Also looking forward to: Will Allie Hann-McCurdy and Micheal Coreno be able to save their careers with the magic of Shilband? Even if they don't, I hope to enjoy their tarantella.
