Well the prizes are very high at Shanghai Trophy compared to other events, that's one thing. And only top skaters are invited so even if many refuse it's elite event.

Good news  I missed Ksenia. We'll probably see them at the test skates.

- Zhenya hasn't landed 4S yet but she's been practicing it

- Brian thinks Memoirs of a Geisha is her best program so far

- Her new role as an ambassador of the Russian Olympic Team in Tokyo won't interfere with her training

- She's learning Japanese with a teacher

There’s a new interview with Evgenia Medvedeva. To sum it up: she’s been working on her conditioning and her body, so she had to change most of her wardrobe because it got too tight around her legs and too loose around her upper body, she feels she’s more springy and powerful in her moves now, her short was choreographed by Averbukh, but the StSq is in fact by Jeff Buttle. She never had any other candidate for choreographing her long program but Bourne, because she’s in awe of her work. 

She’s going back to lutz in the short and two lutzes in the long. 

Tracy is going to be with her for the short program practice at open practices, then Brian is flying in from Riga for the long - as he has to be there with Phan and Kurakova.
