What a busy place! Reported by Tony Wheeler:

• Speculation that YuNa probably not competing this season?
• Adam Rippon "promising" and doing a quad loop consistently well in practice
• Christina Gao doing huge jumps

This season is getting more and more interesting all of the time!

Adam Rippon "promising" and doing a quad loop consistently well in practice

Well, it's quad toe loop.

Well, it's quad toe loop.

Sorry for the misquote! It might be wishful thinking

Thanks for sharing, sk9tingfan!

Speculation that YuNa probably not competing this season?

Not a surprise, but I do hope she competes. But if she feels unmotivated, the best thing to do is to take a break.

Adam Rippon "promising" and doing a quad loop consistently well in practice

Nice! I hope he doesn't get hurt, though.

Christina Gao doing huge jumps

So excited to see her next season!

Adam's jumps look gorgeous...Abbott was doing 3x/3t, no quad...Gao reeling off 3toe/3toes with ease

Lucky you to be there!

Go Adam!!
I'll be sorry if YuNa doesn't compete. Lord knows she doesn't have to prove anything if she needs a break though.
This season is going to be without so many of my faves! No B&A, no Lamby, no Plush, now maybe no YuNa and my precious Johnny!

Tomas verner is now in Toronto...wearing a shirt with his own name on the back. lol.

So is a young spanish guy, a young italian guy, and a young blonde swiss girl that i can't identify.

sorry - swiss girl is Romy Bühler - her 3 flip is coming along quite nicely.

Yu Na not competing this season doesn't surprise me at all. Poor thing had the pressure of an entire country on her shoulders this past year. Let her have a very easy year to recharge and just have fun w/her skating. Then come back refreshed and ready to take on everyone again.

I was really impressed by what I saw of Adam on CSOI this spring. Very much looking forward to watching this young man develop.

Thanks to all of our Toronto tidbit posters!!

Yay! What about the cute little Korean girl Min-Jung Kwak? I wonder if she's gained some muscle and has worked on rotating her triples more so she doesn't get downgrades.
