[Bluebonnet]

No Patrick Chan?!

[ImaginaryPogue]

Ladies: Alissa, Miki, Yuna
Men: Kozuka, Takahashi, Chan
Pairs: S/S, K/S, P/T
Dance: P/B, V/M, D/W

Joesitz, why do you think Chan will miss the podium? Stratospheric improvement, highest TES of the season so far, highest PCS of the season so far.....

[Joesitz]

No Patrick Chan?!

I'm assuming everyone skates his best.

He may be able to knock out Gachinsky if Patrick keeps his balance and doesn't Fall.
Joubert just may get a place because he's been around so long. (kind of like an award)
Dai is the former World champion.

[dorispulaski]

In no particular order

Dance: D&W, V&M, P&B, and if V&M don't attend, B&S
Men's: Patrick, Dai, Brian
Ladies: YuNa, Mao, Miki
Pairs: K&S, S&S, V&T

The other thread where we say what we'd like to see is more fun

[Bluebonnet]

Ladies: Alissa, Miki, Yuna
Men: Kozuka, Takahashi, Chan
Pairs: S/S, K/S, P/T
Dance: P/B, V/M, D/W

Joesitz, why do you think Chan will miss the podium? Stratospheric improvement, highest TES of the season so far, highest PCS of the season so far.....

I'm assuming that you're listing in backwards in every discipline?

[ImaginaryPogue]

No order, actually. Wasn't thinking

Joesitz, if everyone skates his best, Chan has the highest base value and highest PCS. Likely highest TES.

Do you really think Gachinski is at the level where he can medal at worlds?

Do you really think Gachinski is at the level where he can medal at worlds?

I sure don't. He may have the tech content, but not much else that I can see.
