Thank you for the link MikiAndoFan.

And yes mingming, seeing them in K&C is like a deja vue ! I love Mao today but I also miss Mao when she was 15.

I can't wait to see Phil Hersh's take on this; I still vividly remember his poorly-researched article a year ago on Jr. Worlds 2009 when he foolishly stated that the Japanese skating program has no successors in the junior ranks (which is such an ignorant statement and indicative of Phil's "expertise"...or lack thereof regarding the sport). Oh Phil~~~♪

I need to get me a set of Phil Hersh and Jack Gallagher voodoo dolls, yes I do!!

Congrats to Yuzuru and Kanako and Narumi/Mervin!!

I have to say, I was SOO impressed with Yuzuru's program! 2-hand tano! HUUUGE triple axel at the end there, and the Ina Bauer and the Biellman!! YAY!

Kanako is so nice to watch... I really liked her costume too--pretty and interesting. Mao, can't you just take a hint from her and use "Swan Lake"?? Or borrow her costume designer??
