Figure skaters look for early success as pre-Olympic season begins

Looks to me like the competition is really limited in this round.

Good luck to everyone. I hope Asada Mao will gain more confidence on her tripple axles. Kim Yuna was over rated in the previous Toronto Olympics. Mao could have won if she didn't got any mistakes.

I agree with you titanimdioxide, I still can't believe Yuna's outrageous FS scores. outside of her jumps, the whole performance was so bland, ugh.

Toronto Olympics.

Don't let someone from Vancouver hear you saying that lol

LOL. Thanks for reminding. Unfortunately I want to forget that I've ever watched that winter olympics since judges weren't fair at delivering scores. For me the true victor in figure skating men's division was Evgeni Plushenko of Russia, and uggghhh again Kim Yuna was so over rated.

"Miki Ando has also pulled out after failing to find a new coach in time"

I'll be her coach!

Queen ( Kim ) Yu-Na will skip the series"

I'm devastated.

I'll be her coach!

I heard Miki Ando with her former Russian coach had some love affair. Well I know how it feels when you're coaching a hot chick plus world champion. I'd hit on someone like Miki too if I were her coach.

Thats what makes the ice hockey great. No judges involved with scores, just comes down who has the more skill in scoring, defending and determination (with a little bit of luck as well)

Shar: "I still can't believe Yuna's outrageous FS scores. outside of her jumps, the whole performance was so bland, ugh."

And once again we have the people who believe the scores were somehow played with. Mao did worse than Kim, bottom line. What happened to your 'bad day' argument? Does it only apply when you're not taking race into account?
