Straight forward question. Do you think Emily will represent Team USA in Vancouver?

Discovered at Newsday.com, a brand-new article about Emily:

She definitely sounds ready to compete at the Olympics! I hope she gets the chance to do so. I imagine that she'll be training 24/7 to make a great showing at Nationals.

If Emily does compete, I will definitely watch the Olympics -- and any other televised events she appear in before then. I wish her the very best success! She's the only performer today who makes me interested in figure skating.

Thanks to Emily's Twitter updates, I tuned in today to see her perform on the Today Show. She looked GORGEOUS:

She's wearing her hair longer now, which is a beautiful style for her. And the dress that she was wearing was absolutely lovely. Still on the thin side, but apart from that, this is the most attractive I've seen Emily look since Ice Chips 2008.

I heard that she did reasonably well in her first competitive event, a few days ago. I know the Olympics are a challenge, but I hope, I hope, I hope she can make it.

I'm just really, really glad that she took the year off, to give it her all. I'm hoping beyond hope for her success.

According to the following page, Emily performed this evening at a skating exhibition at Lake Placid!

The Saturday Nite Ice Show with Lake Placid Summer Camp skaters of all ages and levels and special guest skater Emily Hughes will be at 7:30 in the 1932 rink.

That's very cool. Also, according to her Twitter page, she performed a special Michael Jackson program.

I'm sure that it was a great tribute to the singer. I hope someone posts a video on YouTube.

Did everyone know that Emily has a Twitter page? I didn't, until I read the info on her official site.

Here's Emily's Twitter link:

Amazingly, Emily is now apparently in Toronto "to work on a new short," with someone named "David."

going to Toronto to work on a new short

I assume this means a new short program? How wonderful!

I wonder where Emily might be practicing all of this? Toronto is just an hour's drive away from where I am. It would be a privilege to catch a glimpse of Emily in practice, if her practice sessions are public. (I have no idea if they would be.)

I hope she might do some media (TV interview?) while in Toronto. If she does, and if I know about it before it airs, I could record it and YouTube it.

At any rate, I hope she has a great experience here in Canada. We love Emily in the Great White North!
