Scroll down - they're going to be at the Hallmark Skaters Championship in Columbus, OH - Dec 14th.

Well, we shall see. I know they both plan to be there, and they have always planned to be there. But I betcha it is too soon to really tell if either of them will be in the kind of shape they need to be in to really be there.

OTHO - it is a fluff comp, so there are large appearance fees, and less jumps, so.........

Wow, both Hughes and Yagudin are spreading themselves a bit thin. The day before this competition, they are scheduled to compete at the ABC International Figure skating challenge in Auburn Hills, Mich.

Maybe the press got their events mixed up?

Is this the competition that, until last year, was always known as World Pros?

If so, did the ISU decide to sanction it again, like they did in 1998? So is this a pro-am?

[CMc]

Well, if they can do two pro-ams in two days, more power to 'em, and more skating on TV for us! In the same DAY even!:D

Yags is scheduled to be in the Sears Open in Red Deer the weekend before this...sounds like something's wonky somewhere...
