Thank you, Shyla cheers

So it's like:

weak men
strong ladies
a young duo with potential
a hit or miss pair

for Russians, IMHO.

My fingers are crossed that we can see Jeremy skate both of his programs
to its potential like he did at US Nationals, because beside Dai Jeremy's programs were my favorite this season.

Haha~
Yesterday Daisuke wrote some massage to his fans on his blog of Kansai university.
He said he will do his best not to drag his team mates down at WTT. Laughing

Yep, this event will show how work the team events in the Olympics.
but ironically Japan cannot compete olympic team events. Rolling Eyes

they don't have a pairs.

Takahashi-Tran cannot compete in the Olympics.

They can't. Alas.

But maybe they'll allow some kind of an 'international team' to compete in the Olympic team event?
