Ok, actually, I am a bit surprised that she only leads by about four points. Korea's Yu-Na Kim, reigning Grand Prix and Skate America champ, leads the ladies event after the short program with a 63.64. Japan's Miki Ando, who came in third at Skate America, is in second with a 59.30. Finland's Laura Lepisto is in third with 58.60, while American Ashley Wagner is fourth with 55.40. I haven't been able to watch any of the performances today but if I can I will write a better recap. Don't forget to wake up in the middle of the night to catch tomorrow's events!
