This is the deepest and most exciting ladies field ever. It should be a great one, even though I feel pretty certain Kim is taking it, but beyond that I have no idea.

Yes. It could be the most interesting Olympic ladies event ever, in terms of talent pool. Almost evenly matched among the groups--the veterans, the up-and-comers, and the in-betweens. With a bunch of them on each side.

Happy that Nathalie Weinzierl gets to compete; also realized that CHN has 2 spots. I had thought prior to the Olympics that they only had one …

Who's performances you look most forward to?

I for (in this order)

Polina Edmunds as she is so new and good and I watched her only once before.
Mao Asada, will she succeed or not. She could be very great or then not so.
Yuna Kim and Yulia Lipnitskaya, will they be consistent again?
Ahsley Wagner, I like her skating
Adelina Sotnikova, how she manages to handle the pressure
I like Kostner a lot, but I am afraid if she can handle the pressure. I hope so.
I like many others, too. Very interesting event coming.

Why was Ukolova chosen instead of Brezinova?

And from the Helgesson sisters, one would have expected to chose Joshi (she did much better at Europeans).

4 SOTNIKOVA
5 KOSTNER
6 MURAKAMI
7 SUZUKI

Anyone else with top 24 (or top 30 prediction)?

China has two spots because Li Zijun made top 10 at Worlds last year, therefore qualifying two entries.

Ukolova was likely chosen over Brezinova because (1) she was the one that actually earned the spot at Nebelhorn and (2) she has better international scores than Brezinova.

Viktoria was chosen after Swedish nationals which she won. My guess is it's a thank you for old times sake, Viktoria being a nice role model for Swedish figure skating for many years. Often seen in media. Last olympics Sweden(Viktoria) lost the spot at worlds 2009 and also when Joshi didn't succeed at Nebelhorn 2009. Both sisters have had health/injury problems during this season and had to catch up during autumn. For me Joshi is the best and should be at the olympics even if she is younger and will be 2018.

Anyway, Flaya, you forgot(?) Viktoria. She will definately be among the 15 best... 10 if she can at last nail both programs, which I hope she'll do.

You have Glebova x 2 :)

Sorry, I was thinking about Europeans' results while compiling my list and was changing places quite a few times.

I wanted to put Glebova at 16 and Helgesson at 18.

Julia got a 72+ for the SP in the team event. There are only two skaters who can potentially outscore her if they are perfect at this point. I don't see her being lower than third at this point in the SP.

Hello all, my first post here.

I think we also have to take into consideration that Julia took part in the Team Event, which could factor into her stamina. Just take a look at the men's event and you'll see what happened... I could be utterly wrong though, and she could blow us out of the water.

Kim will likely beat her in the short. Asada could if she makes her triple axel (although I already predicted that wont happen). As I said I have a feeling Julia might have a small mistake in the short, and even if she doesnt Sotnikova, Kostner, and Gold all have potential to be close if they are clean too, and 1 of them might get in front.

Kostner skated her best short in a long time and couldn't beat Julia. Gold is not getting the PCS to compete with her, as seen in the team event. Adelina might, although doubtful, since she is being overshadowed by her teammate. Julia has become undoubtedly the new star of these games.
