EDIT: since yu/jin withdrew, my top three will be S/H, S/K, and D/F. not sure about sixth...

Xiaoyu Yu/Yang Jin are no longer listed, and China will only send two pairs.

Anybody know why? Focus on Junior Worlds or injury? They really should send Xuehan Wang/Lei Wang who placed 6th at Cup of China.

Really weak field this year...hard to predict

I know people say that this is not a strong field, but I was finding it very hard to choose an order for all categories.

Admittedly, you know fine well who should be in the Top 6 in Pairs and Dance. It is just a matter of the order.

In the singles categories, I decided to do a Top 15, as I knew who I wanted to be in the Top 15. But, I was having difficulty choosing an order.

Let’s face it, although they mightn’t all be able to get on the podium, there are at least 10 Men and 10 Ladies that are capable of getting into the Top 6.

I should add, under normal circumstances, I would have had Li Zijun for the Ladies Gold. But, I am not sure just how fit she is. I really hope she is getting over all the problems she has had with her health.
