Well, so much for seeing anybody at 4CC this year, but I'll welcome lower chances of exposing skaters two weeks before the Olympics. I also hope that having more viable Japanese ice dancers pushes Team KoKo further! The field is so dang dense that earning Japan a second Worlds slot is going to be tough, but I think just a little more refinement could get them there. They've sure got space to take advantage of any retirements that may come out of Beijing.
