They probably know that he has to be at the competition... Why would they delay it??? 

They always do that. Unbelievable. Poor man. 

(he is actually not the first athlete that I know of that has had this problem, sigh)

 

He should get it, not that it reduces his stress, but they usually come through.

About the ladies event, honestly, I cannot wait. One and two are pretty much a lock but what I want to know how the rest are going to be ranked because not only GPF but for Mai, I really want her to claw her way to third so that she can boost her chances of a J Oly spot! Fingers and toes crossed. I would say I hope Tukt has enriched her program somewhat but in reality, I have little hope and that is so sad. 

Wth is this for real??
