Brian Orser's student, Evgenia Medvedeva is competing at this event - some comments from him about her:

She has amazing programs, she skates like never before, glides fast ... the goal is to show two great programs ... she will be very happy, regardless of the result. And I'm absolutely sure that she can do it.

Danielle Earl's time conversion for this week's GP event

[Elizabeth]

Note that there is a difference between the start times for the ladies SP on Friday on the CBC Sports schedule and Danielle's time conversion. Danielle's looks to be right, based on the two hours between the final two Friday events on the full schedule at the link in the first post of this thread..

Evgenia was very focused in her "Memoirs of a Geisha" programme today.
