Update on Mirai Nagasu

PrintWhile I have been under a rock, Mirai Nagasu has been nursing a stress fracture.
Nagasu will not be competing in the Japan Open team competition in October due to the stress fracture, per Kyodo News.
Icenetwork has a nice little story on Nagasu about what she is up to and how she is following Frank Carroll to Lake Arrowhead to train and she will be back on the ice stroking and getting down to business in September.
Nagasu has also shockingly broken the "cardinal rule;)" of skating and announced that her programs will be to "Witches of Eastwick" for the short and "Memoirs of a Geisha" for the free skate. Even though she is not competing for a little while, she announced the music awhile back. So.
I hope Nagasu has a quick recovery, but most important is that she's ready for Nationals and Worlds. I am excited about her short program; I could do without yet another Memoirs of a Geisha program, though.

Cardinal rules
Hey Laura :-)
I think the deal with the “cardinal rule” is that it’s usually the skater that makes the decision whether or not to announce their program music in advance. (I posted several of the music choices for the new season on my blog back in July.) The beef with Orser seems to be that he talked about Kim’s programs with the press while knowing that Kim wanted to keep the choices secret.
At least I think that’s the story today… I can’t keep up with all this!

I totally get that
And I think Orser was way out of line talking about Kim’s music (as I said in my earlier post). It should be her decision alone when that sort of thing gets revealed.
Completely separately, I am poking fun at the “rule,” because I can’t remember the last skater who kept their music a secret until they skated out on the ice.

Whatever Could Be Wrong With Her?
OMG?!?! Mirai Nagasu revealed WHAT? She keeps this up and Kim Yu-na’s mother just might try to fire Nagasu’s coach.
I too wish Mirai Nagasu a speedy recovery. Her progress will be one of the more interesting things to watch in the upcoming season.
Rules, Schmules :-)
Yeah, especially in this day and age it seems impossible such a thing would stay secret, even if the skater did everything in their power… beware the evil MUSIC SPIES!!
I think I read the last one to fervently keep a music choice under wraps… and apparently did so until practices for Skate America began… was Kwan in ’98 (?).
