Are you sure that is the start order or just the entry list???? It looks a bit odd for a start order.

wordsworthgirl: Nope, it starts on Friday. A long wait still. :-(

I agree, very odd for a start order, mainly because Polina is in the first group even though she is ranked in the top 10 in the world. Why is Christina Gao in group 2 and Polina in Group 1?

... Ice Network has this schedule posted:

Tomorrow at 3:00am Short Dance
Tomorrow at 4:30am Ladies Short Program
Tomorrow at 6:30am Men's Short Program
Tomorrow at 8:30am Pairs Short Program ...

Because in the ISU World Standings, Gao is #21 and Edmunds is #32.

"The starting order in the Short Program/Short Dance segment will be the reverse order of the ISU World Standing placements," per the announcement for the GP series.

So Edmunds' placement at Worlds is irrelevant to the starting order.



Yikes, what a dumb move on the part of IceNetwork. Using "Tomorrow" instead of a date is bound to cause confusion.
(Glad you already got your answer.)

Thanks so much, Golden411, both for explaining the start order and sympathizing re the Ice Network confusion! I love the head into wall emoticon. It is so expressive and captures perfectly how I felt as I was frantically searching US to China time conversions etc and trying to figure out when this competition would be aired!

That was the Japanese TV who was trying to take an interview.
This is the report: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x29elrx_1106-グモニ_sport?start=22

The narrator says that Julia looked unhappy because her plane's arrival was late by two hours.
But she did took pictures and signed autographs for the fans though.

Thanks for the explanation, I was wondering what made her so unhappy.

I'm confused- is it starting in four hours or 28 hours? Ice Network has this schedule posted:

Tomorrow at 3:00am Short Dance
Tomorrow at 4:30am Ladies Short Program
Tomorrow at 6:30am Men's Short Program
Tomorrow at 8:30am Pairs Short Program

Since it's 11:30 pm EST on Nov 5th, does that mean it happens in just a few hours, on the 6th, tomorrow?

Any help welcome!

The competition is in my time zone. But I am afraid I will be too anxious and too scared to watch live.
