Yes and congrats to her Japan Open debut last season, and Zagitova is now the reigning OGM! However, the announcement that she was invited this year, along with numerous other deserving competitors, was posted here one month ago. The post immediately following that announcement was very positive towards the skaters, unlike the post following this announcement. Congrats to both of them for being invited to Japan Open

Ah, so
Since this is a new week, as I didn't do so when you first posted this (thanks btw), I will start things off positive by congratulating Carolina on getting invited to her first Japan Open! It must be an honour for her to skate in front of the appreciative Japanese audience. An event that has featured in past years Lambiel, Plushenko, Asada, Takahashi, Suzuki, Rochette, and Buttle, all of whom are great skaters with their unique skill sets, role models, and have made/are still making vast contributions to their sport in both their countries and the World.
Was made to rectify mistakes. I thought I detected just a subtle hint of something there. Fun.

Hopefully nothing indicative of trouble for Carolina this season but great news for Masha no doubt.

Great news for Maria indeed, wish it was a SP competition because I love her new SP.

Caro has shown two prospective short programs: 'Back to Black' and 'The Storm.' I don't recall seeing her free program music being announced; probably still needs time to work on it.

It's funny because right now both Alina and Evgenia might not even podium. The Japanese ladies and Bradie Tennell grab the early poll position it would seem. I am very curious how Carolina is doing; it is great Maria gets a chance.

... Have you seen Alina’s recents carmen runthrough. Not only was it 100% clean, but she even put the 3Lz + 3Lo in the second half. Her two combos were 3Lz + 3T and 3Lz + 3Lo. That’s some ambition right there.
So far, Alina hold the SP WR and is doing better than Bradie, Rika and Satoko. I cannot see where the "might not even podium" comes from.

Well, let me update, Alina holds all the WRs now and its funny how someone predicts her not even to podium at JO, which actually does not have that many top ladies.

As I said earlier in this thread Caro's doing FP in Japan would be to good to be true, hence, I am not surprised at all. But I would rather see Loena.
I haven't heard anything from Gabby or Bradie. I hope everything is ok.
