The Schedule/Entries/Results page is now up: http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1718/gpchn2017/

The first events begin overnight tonight and will provide the first look at some of the GP competitors. Four of the men are planning two quads in their short programs - Fernandez, Jin, Kolyada & Zhou. All four of them multiple quads planned in their FS - anywhere from three to five. Who will actually achieve their planned content?

Since this event conflicts with a few things for me, including an annual volunteer commitment tomorrow and Saturday, I'll have to catch up "after the fact".

Don't forget to turn your clocks back overnight Saturday into Sunday!

I can't get over Danielle's beautiful penmanship and how much effort and love she puts into creating these time tables. She should join our board.

Danielle is a very busy photographer - for example, this weekend she and her team are covering both Quebec and Ontario sectionals. Last weekend she was at Skate Canada International - she took photos on behalf of Skate Canada (the organization).

She also photographs dance and, I believe, gymnastics.

One of PJ Kwong's upcoming audio interviews will be with Danielle - it was done at SCI.

You can see some of Danielle's photography on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielleearlphotography/

There you go all this hidden talent, the pictures are great.

According to posts on Twitter, both Javier Fernandez and Ashley Cain of the US pairs were suffering from stomach troubles in Beijing.
