Congrats to Satoko, her skating is so beautiful.
Ooops, totally missed it. But Satoko bears extra mention for being so cute.
I think it's just a nickname.
Yeah, I know that "Satton" is the nickname of Satoko. but I wanna know does it have a specific meaning?
Is there a video of Hubbell & Donahue's free dance?
I am hopeful that the Shibs will make their move for a significant gain this year. I don't see that Chock and Bates have the technical ability on the Shibs but the Shibs need a vehicle where they can put forward their artistry. And the US judges may be more inclined to keep C/B in first but it is in the world arena where they Shibs may have the chance to edge up. Regardless, and as much as I am a Hawayek/Baker fan, I think the order in the US will be :1. Chock/Bates 2. Shibs-second but gaining ground on C/B 3. Hawayek/Baker 4. Hubbell/Donahue

I did a recap of the event on my blog. Since I wanted to talk about a variety of things and not just one discipline, I did a highlights-and-low-points recap instead of a general one. Hope you all like it!
Yes but the Shibs have been more or less stagnant for years too, just a bit ahead of H/D, with the one obvious exception of a more-or-less fluke world medal from which they've regressed. H/B on the other hand are on a clear upward trajectory.
Congrats to Satoko, her skating is so beautiful.

Thank you for the recap. I enjoyed reading it
The thing with H&B though is that I have the feeling they are repeating themselves a bit this season. I was expecting something else for them, in terms of program (FD). Shibs on the other hand looks like they are going for a transformation and their SS are way better than H&B. Well, I think they are better than H&D also. Therefore, I would be very surprised if they lose the no.2 USA team. I think they want to challenge C&B, if anything.
