Grand Prix Early Predictions Game

[tulosai]

I 100% do not mean to step on anyone's toes but is someone needed to calculate the dance scores from this past weekend at CoC? I have A LOT of time today and tomorrow and could easily do it.

Again, hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes. Just thought I'd offer if help is needed.

[Cherryy]

Now that's difficult to predict! And I know that only first 6 counts, I just want to know how good am I at predicting in hard situations

[SubRosa]

Well their Romanian score would have beaten Virtue and Moir's Canadian score.

Having seen the youtube of I/K's free dance, I take it back. Virtue and Moir have nothing to worry about! Now I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Shibs win silver and I/K the bronze. Although I hear I/K have a great short dance. Is there a youtube link for their short dance, anybody know?

I wonder if Bobrova & Soloviev are Russia's number one team again. I guess we'll see after Cup of Russia where things stand.

[Mrs. P]

Interesting that some of you have the Shibs so far down in the standings (i.e. off the podium). I Know they had a terrible Worlds this year, but getting beat by Z/G? I love Z/G and their creative routines, but they do not have the technical skill of the Shibs.

On the other hand we haven't seen a thing from the Shibs and it's definitely a possibility they might suffer in levels as D/W and V/M did earlier in the season.

I guess we'll see tomorrow.

[colleen o'neill]

I'm so distracted , I don't even know why I've made some of the picks I've made
