這個周末,今年度的花式溜冰Grand Prix Final 將在日本舉行
看到出爐的參賽名單,真的覺得這一屆的Final,取樣不算多也不廣,
進入決賽圈感覺並非黑馬爆冷門的異軍突起,而是老面孔彼此的比漏氣大賽
(*I know, 這樣的說法有點太偏激!!!)
當然這是純粹在不夠認真之下,
勉強看完GP五站賽事過後個人的感受(每年都沒機會看日本站NHK杯)
不可否認...日本的Oda今年很穩,而去年爆氣的Kozuka這次就掉隊了
傷停一賽季的Takahashi,因為沒看日本站,觀察不夠
而美國三傑表現穩定,卻有點激情不夠,
大高個Evan因人高馬大表現方式本來就比較是激動一族,
不過Jeremy Abbott和Johnny Weir兩人明顯屬於走陰柔路線
Well, さて、當某些人通通不在,這場賽事就無法被稱為是明春將舉行的溫哥華冬運前哨戰吧
有哪些人呢
哈哈...眼中只有他 plus 其他
王者歸來...連拍張照片都很有架勢(*減肥減的真有價值 哈哈哈*)
Evgeni Plushenko, Stephane Lambiel,Brian Joubert, Patrick Chan
(以上排名是按長幼有序,出道先後,筆者心中重要性....列表,XDD
其實,Joubert跟Lambiel是處在伯仲之間,當年也難說比較愛看誰,要看舞碼的編排及臨場的表現啦)
男子個人項目中,這麼重要的選手通通沒有參加,這樣的Final怎麼會有看頭呢?
女子個人方面,主辦國日本的寵兒Asada也跌出決賽圈,
沒有淺田真央跟金妍兒爭豔,整個吸引力都大打折扣吧
所以這一屆的主辦國日本,一定很無力
因為不只是男女個人項目,連冰舞也有前六退出,所以這次的遞補名單很重要
是說, 女子遞補名單竟然排了三個, 只因為地主寵兒的順位在比較後頭吧 哈哈
不過無論如何,還是為了此屆GP Final留個參賽名單吧
捷克小子Tomas,在美國站跌得這麼慘
(老實說,不太敢看他那時的短曲,同時因為短曲爛,長曲只能第一個出賽,看他的神情也是一付驚魂未定的樣子,一直需要教練好好的安慰呢)
沒想到......這次竟然在Brain因傷退賽後,遞補到到前六,好個幸運小子,不過有他在,想看的意願會提升一點點...不然這次的男子決賽,等於是美日大戰,有點兒無聊呢,如果他好好拼.....還真希望他在美日的夾擊之下,獲得佳績呢)
還好的是冰舞項目,陣容還算整齊,雖然少了俄羅斯組合,不過美加法義這幾組人,個個都很棒
特別是第一名進入決賽圈的美國組DAVIS & WHITE,看他們在冰上跳舞非常的愉快
以下就是參賽名單,以及賽前的Review...(此review,重點完全放在這次沒來的人上頭....)

前略
But missing in action are:
Evgeni Plushenko, the defending Olympic champion who couldn't get two Grand Prix events because he's been out of action since 2006, although he got one, lucky that his home country, Russia, plays host to one;
Stephane Lambiel of Switzerland, a two-time world champion who has been away for so long he can't get any Grand Prix, and his country doesn't play host to an event;
The 2007 world champion Brian Joubert, of France, withdrawn from the final because of an injury to his foot. He's had surgery and seems to be on the mend, but not soon enough for this event;
Patrick Chan of Toronto, the world silver medallist, who missed his first Grand Prix event because of injury and then he failed to sparkle in his only other one, finishing sixth, appearing unready for competition battle;
Mao Asada, of Japan, a former world champion who won the Grand Prix Final as a child in 2005, and who was second to Kim in 2006 and 2007;
Former world and Olympic ice dancing silver medallists Tanith Belbin and Benjamin Agosto of United States, who withdrew when Belbin had oral surgery;
Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin, of Russia, the reigning world ice dancing championships (in a controversial event) who haven't resurfaced yet this year and nobody will see their aboriginal original dance or their new free dance until the Russian nationals later this month;
The 2008 world ice dancing champions Isabelle Delobel and Olivier Schoenfelder of France have missed the entire season so far because Delobel was pregnant. She has now had her baby and is training.
Instead, ice dancers who never dreamed of making the final are headed to Tokyo this year. All it takes sometimes is luck: get into a soft Grand Prix or two, chalk up some points, and voila. Only the top six point earners go. And not all Grand Prix are equally tough.
The delightful young Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte of Italy qualified for the Grand Prix Final, way sooner than they expected, although their more experienced teammates Federica Faella and Massimo Scali did not. Faella and Scali withdrew from Skate Canada because of illness, so couldn't chalk up the points.
Canadian silver medallists Vanessa Crone and Paul Poirier also benefitted from two withdrawals in the ice dancing event this week, and although they've made only one appearance at a world championship in their lives, and are only in their second year of competing at the senior Grand Prix, are in the lineup as well. It's a very lucky break for them.
Canada was meant to have three entries in the Grand Prix Final, but nobody expected two of them to be ice dancers.
Let's have a little walk down memory lane and see who won the Grand Prix Final before an Olympic Games.
Before the 1998 Nagano Games, the winners were: Ilia Kulik of Russia (Olympic gold), Tara Lipinski of United States (Olympic gold), Berezhnaia and Sikharulidze of Russia (Olympic silver) and Oksana (call me Pasha) Grishuk and Evgeny Platov of Russia (Olympic gold), with Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz of Canada second (off the podium in Nagano).
Before the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, the winners were: Alexei Yagudin of Russia (over Plushenko) (Olympic gold); Irina Slutskaia of Russia (Olympic silver), Jamie Sale and David Pelletier of Canada (Olympic gold); and Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz of Canada (off the podium, sounding familiar?).
Before the 2006 Turin Olympics, the winners were: Stephane Lambiel of Switzerland (Olympic silver medalist); Mao Asada of Japan (too young to go to Olympics); Tatiana Totmianina and Maxim Marinin of Russia (Olympic gold) and Tatiana Navka and Roman Kostomarov of Russia (Olympic gold).
This time, way too many top men and ice dancers are missing from the Grand Prix Final for it to be a forecast of an Olympic finish - although the two most important dance teams are in Tokyo - while Asada's absence may or may not be predictive of what will happen in Vancouver. We'll see.
