Midori Ito was on the entry list again, but not sure if she's still going. Would be awesome in case she is.

There are 3 or 4 skaters from my rink going. I've only seen a couple of their programmes, but they were looking good before they left.

I was just watching the stream and saw some American guy in Silver II do a lunge into a back camel. I have never seen anyone do that before, and would love to see some examples of other people doing it.
