I’m a little backlogged at the moment with writing assignments, so my apologies for not coming up with a full-blown post… but, indeed, this Team Trophy thing has gotten underway, so here’s just a few things you might be interested in knowing…
+ “On demand” video will be available at IceNetwork.com soon… but not as I write this.
+ After Day One, the US team is in the lead, followed by Japan and Canada.
+ Lysacek (in 2nd) and Belbin/Agosto (in 1st) led the US pack; Zhang and Flatt are 4th and 5th respectively. Denney/Barrett have yet to start for the Pairs’ division.
+ Any notable surprises in the standings came in the Mens’ SP: Kozuka popped his axel, crashed on another jump and finished 10th in the field of 12, while Chan fell on TWO jumps and had to settle for 9th. (And Abbott, with another blown triple axel and an additional fall on footwork, found himself in 5th.)
+ Asada and Joubert are the SP leaders; Asada by a huge margin (the triple axel combo put in an appearance); Joubert by only a couple of points.
You can check out all the results here…
And for the USA Today article about the event, look here.
More as the weekend progresses…
