女单训练消息(关于玲木和罗大姐):
The sight of Akiko Suzuki was enough. A year ago, her name wasn't on anybody's lips. But this young Japanese woman has upset the cart everywhere, including her own country with her consistent performances.
Suzuki is very real on the ice. She has a joyful aspect when she skates. She's floats around the ice with speed and a little grin. She's quietly exquisite, and like all Japanese figure skaters, very fast.
And also, Joannie Rochette looked powerful, solid, confident, queenly in her practice this morning. Her Cup of China blip (finishing only seventh in the short program in an event she should have won), was a wakeup call. Judging from this morning, Rochette is very much awake and looks totally capable of messing up Kim Yu-Na's plans in February in Vancouver. |
