Hi thanks for posting the finalists.
I caught the ladies and mens finals on tv and it was great. Much better than the past couple of years. I think Mao Asada had a super season with her consistency in the 3A. Yuna Kim has really grown in her expression and fluidity. They are both great to watch.

Can't wait for the run of Nationals to start again!
