12:40 PM tomorrow, icenetwork, TEB Ladies Short!! :ah:
Thank you for reminding me. Yes, I plan to register right now. I won't be able to watch the show live, (work calls,) but I'll catch it on-demand a little later in the day.

By the way, there's a great article about the event here:

- Link

It includes the following fascinating observation from Emily:

Quote:
 
I love to be here," Emily Hughes said. "When I told my friends at the University [Hughes is a sophomore at Harvard] that I was going to Paris, they were so jealous!"

With such a short competition period, however, time will be scarce for shopping and visiting. Hughes has even more to worry about: "I am missing a mid-term exam today at Harvard. It is for my Comparative Government class, so I have brought several books because that class requires many readings, and I have to catch back on that mid-term next Thursday."

My lord. I can't even imagine how difficult, how impossible it must be to juggle Harvard and university.

The article continues with more about Emily:

Quote:
 
The Trophée Bompard will be Hughes' only Grand Prix assignment this year, after her hip injury forced her to miss most of last season, including the 2008 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.

"In fact, this is the first time I have really competed internationally this year," she said. "I am getting back into competing, and I really hope to skate a clean program and do better than I did last year. I really love my new long program."

Hughes feels her first year at Harvard has matured her. "I am living on my own now. I have to drive myself to the rink every day, so there is a lot more responsibility on my part."
