reckoned with at worlds

If everyone skated clean at Worlds (I can dream can't I?) it would be
verrrry interesting to see where the judges place the Japanese ladies.
i.e., will their level of difficulty and their athleticism counteract
their lack of presentation skills?

While I'd agree with you that Nakano is lacking in the presentation department,
IMO Seguri and Arakawa are just fine. (Is Nakano going to Worlds? Or Onda - if
she's recovered from injury?)
