This season’s figure skating competition sounds interesting ! I haven’t been watching most of skating competitions since last Olympics ( Vancouver Olympics 2010 ), only US Nationals and a few skaters , but always checked the results for all the senior events for men and ladies. But it’s excited to know that some skaters who were taking breaks are returning to competitions this season such as Johnny Weir, Evan Lysacek ( both took breaks since last Olympics ) and also Evgeny Plushenko . For ladies, Miki Ando and Yu na Kim . Things are changing every season, I wonder how they will compete with present top skaters. I started watching men’s skating since 2006 Torino Olympics and I still love those days top skaters especially the ones who skated in the finale group in the free program.
