Podium Predictions

[Macassar88]

Sinitsina and Ziganshin need to switch ASAP. She's already developing Bobrova posture... I with that B/S would change as well. I don't think it's too late. Maybe for sochi, but not for Pyongchang.

don't forget Yanovskaia and Mozgov :sheesh:
Yanovskaia looks like a Bobrova clone with her ugly postures,
I dont get how Kustarova gets so many new ice dance teams

It's because Bobrova and Soloviev are the Russian #1's, so more teams want to go to her.

Ladies:

1.Adelina Sotnikova
2.Julia Lipnitskaya
3.Gracie Gold
4.Christina Gao
5.Li Zijun
6.Risa Shoji
7.Polina Shelepen(could be 4th if she pulls off two good programs but i dont see that happening)
so
I can easily see Sotnikova either winning or coming third depends on injury,confidence and whether she's grown much since Y.O. but she's my favourite so good luck to her

Im surprised you put Katelyn Osmund past Li Zijun,Polina Shelepen,Risa Shoji,Christina Gao or Vanessa Lam(hate her skating but she still does well) considering they're all better established with international competitions and all of them have been jgpf medal winners except Risa or Vanessa(rightfully so).
