There is definitely a lot of illness in the south Bay Area right now. I rarely get sick and I’m getting over a nasty cold. I’m surprised more skaters aren’t sick. A lot of my friends and family have also been sick.

Oh no! Sending Karen ALL the positive thoughts. I'd planned for San Jose since 8/2016 but I am not there because I got sick. I can't imagine training your whole life for the Olympics and potentially not making the team because of illness.

You can hear people coughing on the videos of the event. If you are sick stay home people. Why is that such a hard concept to grasp?

I don't know. I think it'll come down to Karen and Ashley for that 3rd spot (I think Bradie & Mirai are locks), and that Karen can pull it out. We'll see though. I hope she feels better! Such terrible luck :(

Too bad. Having skated with just a bad head cold, I know how it can ruin you. If it's worse, it's unimaginable that she could do anything including her spins. Shoot. I guess Ashley just has to be 3.5 points better than Karen to make the team. Tough luck. :(

I’m sure unless she’s uncontrollably vomiting or something she’ll skate tomorrow. Highly doubt she’ll want to look back one day and remember she missed her chance because she was sick. She’s a tough cookie.

Jeremy Abbott is here sitting in my section.

Also saw Mirai and her boyfriend cheering on Alex Johnson in a hospitality box.

Mirai has a BF? Who's the lucky guy?

Maybe Karen should take some Chinese medicine like Alysa Liu before her FS. I hear it works wonders. ;)

Mirai has been with Darian Weiss, an ice dancer, for a couple of years now. He's usually all over her IG account, along with her dogs!

I ended up seeing Mirai in the concourse and taking photos for other people lol!

Hope you feel better soon, Lissy :ghug:. Family members in San Jose area have mentioned lingering adverse health impact of smoke from recent Southern CA fires.

I think you're right about the fires having an effect. Lots of sick students here in Clovis, Ca. and we had fires as well.

Ashley "last woman standing" Wagner again proving herself to be THE luckiest skater out there.

I miss him so much. Just watched his 2010 LP from US Nats. Good times.

I just had to rewatch that now! One of the best programs of all time. Love that Saint-Saens symphony! I think there’s also Jupiter from Holst and Pines of Rome there too. Such a terrific program! I think if he repeated those Nationals performances in Vancouver, he would have been Olympic champion.

I am sick, my friends Andy, Evylen, Clarence, and Karyn are sick. I am not going to the breakfast so I won't be the one to give this crud to our skaters. Giving ticket to deserving forum member today.
