Men
Han Yan for the gold, Jason Brown for silver. I can see Brown beating Yan in the SP, but not in the FS unless he lands the triple axel (or quad). Artur Dmitriev for bronze.

Ladies
Julia Lipnitskaia for gold. Courtney Hicks for silver, but perhaps Satoko Miyahara can beat her.

Ice Dance
Alexandra Stepanova/Ivan Bukin should take gold. Lauri Bonacorsi/Tracis Mager and Valeria Zenkova/Valerie Sinitsin will battle for silver.

[SkateFiguring]

In the showdown between Han Yan and Jason Brown, it's really about if Yan would beat himself.

Yan has the jump arsenals, which Brown is lacking. So far their records show, though each has 15 points for a gold, Yan has higher TES, equal PCS, and wins every tie breakers. The uncertainty only comes from the high risk factor in Yan's program. Should be interesting.

Under the circumstances, I hope Jason goes for the 3A in the LP. However, the temptation may be to be safe, and assure the JGPF slot. I hope he skates well, and is happy with his results, whatever his choice.

[smia]

Miyahara has a good chance of beating Hicks for the silver. Her score in Poland was 10 points higher than Hicks' in Australia.
I also think Koch/Nuchtern will challenge Bonacorsi/Mager and Zenkova/Sinitsin for the podium. Their scores are all quite close.
