If it's on the 20th, that's my birthday and the best gift ever would be for Kostornaia to be at Skate America. :hearts:

 

[Ban Boy]

I'm hoping for this...

... it would still be better than today's final at Roland Garros.

Hope we get many triple axels this season from the ladies!
(I'm assuming that's the monkey's jump )

The monkey only did a double.


Also, breaking news 4CC 2021 in Sydney, Australia. First major Figure Skating event at this level in southern hemisphere!!! I'd love to see Nathan Chen and Rika Kihara there.

Wondering if the quad jump is really gonna be introduced more seriously in competition by others than only Trusova, Shcherbakova or Tursynbaeva.

Pretty sure Kihira plans on putting it in her LP this season.

 

[Vaidisova]

Yeah, there were clips of Rika's FS that came out last month

Will the ladies GPF qualifiers be 5 Russians + Kihira?

Seeing how the 3A's do in their senior debut will be one of the big stories. In terms of individual events I'm looking forward to SC with Rika vs Zhenya vs Trusova and NHK Trophy with Alina vs Rika vs Kostornaia.

 

[Tripolis]

Interesting that neither Kaori (reigning JNats champ) or Satoko are going to be at NHK :surprise:

SC is going to be interesting with Kihira vs Medvedeva vs Trusova and of course NHK with Kihira vs Zagitova

NHK for men's is also shocking without Tanaka or Uno, guess JFed is banking on their two stars atm in Kihira & Hanyu

How in the HELL did Anastasiia Gubanova not get a GP assignment but Sotskova did? Disgusting.

Anyway, excited for every GP as all of them promise to be amazing in the ladies' field! Even the weakest ones have six ladies who I can see being potential GP medalists.

Also, I see Chartrand did not get a GP invite despite Cotop and Mallet getting one...presumably she'll get the Skate Canada host spot as I can't recall anyone else being superbly competitive with her...maybe Alicia Pineault or Alison Schumacher? But I can't see them being better than her.

Will the ladies GPF qualifiers be 5 Russians + Kihira?

Most likely, but not definitely. I can see Sakamoto, Tursynbaeva, and (a little more of a long shot) Tennell and Miyahara playing spoiler.
