Something tells me an American girl will get into the final somehow, but I'd say it's more likely Flatt than Nagasu, and I don't think Nakano will implode like that.

When I think of Yukari's jumps, I have never had an impression that she is consistent. When I think of top ladies, she seems to have among the weakest jumps. Yet, she somehow consistently does well overall, which is quite interesting. I wonder if it is more to do with the willpower. I heard before that Fumie was a bit like that. She was not even consistent in practices but somehow did consistently well at comps.

I was actually complaining the other day that he only got to participate in one GP event. I'm complaining more about Daisuke withdrawing, sure, but at least there is something good coming out of this.

Does anyone know if Langlois/Hay are going? I haven't heard anything at all.

In the Men's Division, I think the most interesting contest is between Nobunari and Johnny. Both skaters have a very nice lyrical style which I do not consider feminine. Regardless of which one can get higher scores, I can make my own decision as to which one is the most lyrical and dynamic as well.

I have no idea, lol. With V/M out, there is no clar cut favourite. My gress is that Faiella/Scali, Pechalat/Bourzat and Navarro/Bommentre will be on the podium, but I can't guess the order. Samuelson/Bated could challenge, as could Weaver/Poje (but I doubth that, since they were a little underscored at CoC)

Wow, you missed the big news of the week (other than Joubert's SP at CoR), which has been mentioned on this thread already: Dai is out for the season
. He's getting knee surgery so that (hopefully) he can rehab in time for the Olympic season. Good luck to everyone else!

i predict the American Ladies will all get URs and wrong edge take-offs. That may be true, and they deserve the penalties, but it just seems no one else gets such drastic mark downs. Am I delusional?

I predict that this event is going to be like all the others with at least one WTH moment in each disipline.

I know nothing about this... So it's even more pure fun than the other predictions
Women
1. Akiko Suzuki
2. Yukari Nakano
3. Mao Asada
I do know a bit about this... Yes, it's a tiny bit daring - but what I have seen from Suzuki so far this season was that good. If she keeps it together, doesn't get the 2A-3T downgraded she should be able to lay down 6 clean Triples and her musicality is simply superior. Nakano - well, when was the last time that Lady had a really bad skate in an international competition? She routinely lands at least 5 Triples, has good presentation. In my version of the coming events Asada got hit by the World Champion curse.

That's like a really really weak field.

2. Dube / Davison
3. Inoue / Baldwin

Well. This is so difficult. I say that the "good" skaters will win this over the "solid" skaters. But it's not really objective here, I just want the "good" ones win over the "solid" ones.
