I wouldn't be surprised if this is Abbott's last competition. I'm actually preparing myself for it. He keeps saying he couldn't have prepared better for it and with the outcome, he has to feel lost and bewildered. "What more could I have done?" and sheer frustration are the vibes I am getting from him.
Chan 1st
Hanyu 2nd
Daisuke 3rd (or Brezina to break the Japanese hold and put a European on the medal stand).
