This is 1st round, what will happen in the final round? no miracles ofcourse but these two names will disappear.

Some14some: Hard to say. I hope the Japanese can hang in there, and while I think Ando will qualify for the Olympics I think she'll flop in tonight's final and lose it to Kim. This is based on historical performances, not on preference. No surprise that Asada lost it -- that one either wins or finishes close to 10th, with hardly ever an in-between. I hope all make it to the Olympics, though -- it'll be more fun, and guarantee more events are covered in Japan.

"No surprise that Asada lost it -- that one either wins or finishes close to 10th, with hardly ever an in-between."

that is simply not true. as a senior figure skater, her lowest rank is 5th during the recent cup of russia.
