Japan Open 2018 - Oct. 6

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Japan Open 2018 - Oct. 6

Post by Elizabeth »

This annual event involves skaters representing Team Europe, Team Japan and Team North America - it is an "open" event which means that skaters not currently eligible for ISU competition may be involved. It involves a free-skate-only format

There are also exhibition performances by "guests".

The original schedule as published by the ISU showed the skaters originally planned (and shown in the photo below): https://www.isu.org/docman-documents-li ... -0803/file

There have been changes since that time, including the recent withdrawals of Carolina Kostner and Gabby Daleman. The guests remain the same as shown on the schedule above.

The current teams are:
  • Team Europe: Javier Fernández, Alina Zagitova, Maria Sotskova & Deniss Vasiljevs
  • Team Japan: Shoma Uno, Satoko Miyahara, Kaori Sakamoto & Nobunari Oda
  • Team North America: Nathan Chen, Bradie Tennell, Jeremy Abbott & Mariah Bell
This is generally not streamed but the associated "Carnival on Ice" (which includes additional skaters) is shown on Japanese TV.
