Mao Asada officially announced to participate Japanese nationals yesterday (IMG press release). Reportedly she started training on 13th.

Oda is listed but he can withdraw anytime. I suspect he is sitting on the fence, observing his rivals' performances at GPF.

Kanako Murakami is changing the SP jumps to last season's (3T-3T & 3F).

Miyahara tested her first senior FP at a local Kyoto competition, scoring 110.26 points (TES 63.14). Missed the 3Lz-3T but landed 7 triples.

I just hope Mao can handle the emotional response she is sure to get from other skaters and the media. The sympathy of others can be overwhelming when one is in a fragile state. If she wants to compete so soon, it would actually be kindest if everyone refrained from expressing sympathy until after the competition (and she understood that their silence came from love and respect). I don't know how likely that is.

Is it that P-chan has a round trip including some meeting with his supporters in China?

Does anybody know anything about live streaming?
If not, I will watch it on keyhole tv, the quality of which is so awful:bang:.

Pchiddy will participate in the Gala.

How nice of the Japanese federation to invite great skaters from other countries to take part in the gala. They really want to treat the fans. Interesting Patrick is the only eligible skater invited. There are also genuine friendships among these and the Japanese top skaters too so they will all have a good time together.

So many Men and Ladies competitors and hardly any Pairs and Dancers. They really need to address this issue. Diverting some skaters to the paired disciplines should ease up the competition in Singles too.

Poor Fumie. Poor Nobu. Does he have a bye to Worlds?

I see Mao, Akiko and Kanako going to the Worlds! For the men's, it'll be Kozuka, Takahashi and Hanyu hopefully!

bummed for Nobu. :no: I would then like the men's team to be Kozuka, Takahashi and Mura, but Hanyu is more realistic considering he made the GP final and Mura didn't even get any GP slots.

Will this competition be broadcast in the States? What about online coverage? I don't think either Universal Sports or the IceNetwork will be covering this competition. Same question goes for the Russian Nationals.

I can not find any live streaming, but you can download "keyhole TV".
The quality is not that great, but better than nothing.

Hey I just downloaded Keyhole TV because I doubt I'll find a mac compatible stream (streams from Asian countries and Macs don't seem to compute). I'm just wondering what channel name one should click on when the time comes (2 AM EST on the 23rd right?). Thanks! Can't wait for this, even delayed coverage on YouTube will be fine with me. It'll be epic.

Rooting for Daisuke, Yuzuru, Akiko, and especially Mao, what a champ!
