Which 3 Ladies you hope Japan sends to the Olympics?

Just for fun!



Enjoy!

this is just sooooooooooo difficult to chose!!

Mao and Miki are already my obvious picks for the first 2 slots. The last slot is hard to pick... Fumie has already experienced two olympics. Yukari (although I read somewhere she was an alternate?) and Akiko haven't competed there yet... I think I'd go with Yukari for the third slot (for now).

Japanese Nationals must be one heck of a competition for the ladies... I actually hope there are 5 slots for them.

Mao & Miki are my definite faves among the Japanese ladies. Decided to pick Akiko since I fell in love with her skating last season!

Mao and Miki for the first two slots, no doubt!

Third slot...ack...Yukari and Akiko are both wonderful skaters and it will be awful seeing either (or in a bad scenario, neither one) not make it to their dream competition. Fumie is a long shot to be honest - there needs to be some serious mess-ups from the other Japanese ladies or a flurry of DGs - like last year's Nats - for her to be given higher priority in making the team.

In any case, expect this year's Japanese Nats to be a nail biter.

Yeah...it's going to be pretty painful to watch. The field is just too deep with too many deserving competitors.
Of course I think they will send Mao and Miki unless something absolutely ridiculous happens.

As much as I like Fumie, I hope she doesn't set her expectations extremely high this season--most don't make it to 3 Olympics :/
The Akiko/Yukari showdown which I am sure is going to happen is going to be a heartbreaker...

Well first spot goes to Mao of course

Second, I would have to choose Miki, although I actually Yukari's skating better. Miki is probably a little more consistant, and strong.

Third, I would have to choose Yukari. I like Akiko too, but I'm haven't seen her skate very much, and am not very familiar with her.

This is nigh impossible to choose from. I think a fair idea might be to not send the same three ladies to both Olympics and Worlds but let someone else get a chance. If both Miki and Mao get a ticket to Worlds and OG, let one of Yukari, Fumie or Akiko go to the Olympics and another one to Worlds.

I really, really wish that all four of Mao, Miki, Yukari and Akiko could attend the Olympics!

Fumie is my least favorite. I just really like her style that much
