Highlights of the roster (for me ): Men: Evan Lysacek, Andrei Lutai, Tomas Verner Ladies: Sasha Cohen, Rachael Flatt, Yu-Na Kim, and a TBA (which I'm unrealistically but hopefully hoping will be Michelle, LOL) Dance: Delobel & Schoenfelder, Belbin & Agosto, Navarro & Bommentre Pairs: Shen & Zhao ( ), Duhamel & Buntin, Zhang & Zhang, McLaughlin & Brubaker There are still a few TBAs on there so it will be interesting to see who the USFSA finally decides to place in those spots. There are also some newbies on the roster I'm not familiar with, but look forward to seeing, too. Laurie

Which nice set for TEB, I am happy there, I go there, lol!! Gislaine

In Paris I will get to see a great ladies competition, with Cohen, Kostner and Asada, and I know I'm going to enjoy Joubert vs. Verner. However, in Moscow I could watch Plushy wipe the floor with Chan's, um... you know.... Also, I'd love to see Kawaguchi & Smirnov, the italian ice dancers, as well as some old friends Tempting, tempting.... Anna

We have the same type of maternity leave laws over here. But in Isabelle's case, it is entirely up to her and her doctors how much time she wants to take off so I think she will gauge how much time she needs before starting with competitions. I'm hoping, of course, that she feels ready for Skate America in mid November, LOL. I'd love to see all the Grand Prix events, but funds allow me only one, and the closest one is the least expensive for me. Plus, I love Lake Placid so that made my decision easy. I have to agree, Anna, I am also entirely too gleeful that Big Mouth Chan will have to face Plushenko in Russia... Laurie

I love to see Plushy mop up the ice with Chan; Patrick needs an attitude adjustment badly and the Evgeni experience just might be enough to do it for him, LOL. Mary C.
