why not ?
If Osmond skates clean she will be in Top 5 for sure or might get bronze medal skating in home ground
Kiira was a top 5-7 material, even with her meltdowns in her LP's she gets high beauty PCS
Oh and my two bits, Korpi's withdrawl just makes Osmond's chances of being in the top ten a little easier. But top 5 - good grief I think Gold has a better chance. My way of seeing it is in the top ten you have Mao, Carolina, Yuna, Suzuki, Kanako, Wagner, Liza, Adeline and a battle with Gold, Osmond, Russia no. 3 (does anyone know what happpened to Leonova???), Elene G, the Chinese lady and maybe Marchesi?
I hope she heals completely so that she'll be back 100% for the Olympic season.
Well I am happy Lepisto won a world bronze but it was a lucky bronze and barely. It was close enough that she could have been sixth even behind Phaneuf from Canada. The Finns are good skaters but have always been a bit short technically - beautiful though.
That's not entirely true. Elina Kettunen and Susanna Pöykiö had solid flips and lutzes. Alisa Drei skated occasional 7 triple LP's. Even Mila Kajas could do a triple lutz in the second half of the program. They had other things holding them back.
