Of all four skating disciplines, the ladies might be the most clear cut at the top of the polls. Japan's Mao Asada, the defending world champion, and Korea's Yu-Na Kim are 1-2 in icenetwork.com's season-opening World Figure Skater Rankings.

Here we go again :laugh:

Julia Sebestyen of Hungary is No. 13. The 27-year-old veteran will have to improve on her performances in the Grand Prix Series last year if she wants to maintain her position in the world. Since winning the world title in 2004, she has not placed in the top 10 in that event, so it seems that her best years are behind her.

Uhh. Julia Sebestyen didn't win the 2004 World Title, she placed in the top 5 I believe which is still her best finish at a world championships.

The 2004 World Title belong to our own Japanese Empress of Skating and Cherry Blossom, Shizuka Arakawa

Yep, whoever typed that up meant to say "European", not "World." She was 6th at that World Championship, her highest finish at Worlds.

Not even top 5, she was 6th.

Oops, someone beat me to it.
