Hmmmm... Yuma is coming back from an injury that kept him off the ice for two months this summer, Haein is prone to UR calls, and Smirnova/Siianytsia just came in 3rd at Finlandia out of the 3 teams who will also be at SkAm...

Men
1st - Ilia Malinin
2nd - Junhwan Cha
3rd - Yuma Kagiyama

Women
1st - Kaori Sakamoto
2nd - Isabeau Levito
3rd - Haein Lee

Pairs
1st - Knierim/Frazier
2nd - Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps
3rd - Plazas/Fernandez or Roscher/Schuster - their SB scores are within .75 of each other - my gut says PlaFer will get the home team PCS boost and medal over RoSchu if both go clean

Dance
1st - Chock/Bates
2nd - Hawayek/Baker
3rd - Muramoto/Takahashi

I was able to watch most of the streamed practices yesterday (picked a good week to take some time off). Isabeau Levito was not at the public practice. Her music played but no Isabeau. Does anyone know what might be happening with her?

She doesn't compete until tomorrow. It's entirely possible she and her team decided to stay at home until today - more training time, one less day of school missed, etc.
