Actually to think of it, probably Gracie will get 3rd because she has the reputation. She will get 10+ more points than Park in PCS.

Don't forget home town advange... I'd be very happy with Park getting the bronze instead of Gracie, but 4th in her first Grand Prix isn't a bad result.
I'm also worried that maybe I'm too confident about Radio, the practice reports didn't sound good. First the rink size (though I don't understand it, aren't all rinks 60m/30m?) and then popping her jumps
hwell:
EDIT: Meoima beat me.

According to the interview with Liza posted in her Fan Fest (courtesy of adelia), the North American rinks are smaller than the Russian ones they're used to. I'm worried one of the Russian girls, with their huge jumps, is going to go flying into the boards... 
However, they've both competed in NA before, so I hope it's not too much of an issue.

Yeah, rinks in Canada and USA are smaller compared to Europe and Asia.. So skaters not from North America should adjust not only to the time zone, but to the size of a rink.
Radio has already skated in SA, Liza at SC and Worlds in Canada, so they have skated before at these rinks...

Really? I find that so weird, I thought all 'olympic' sized rinks were 60x30m. Maybe the conversions are slightly off if they use a different unit?

What is likely to happen:
1. Elena
2. Gracie
3. Free for all (Liza, maybe)
Sigh.

the rink size won't be a problem for them. Don't worry.According to the interview with Liza posted in her Fan Fest (courtesy of adelia), the North American rinks are smaller than the Russian ones they're used to.

An anecdotal exception: reporting on her experiences at Lombardia Trophy, silver medalist Hannah Miller of the U.S. wrote in her blog (emphasis added):
I had my first practice on Friday and I quickly noticed the rink felt short. I had to alter some of my jump set ups but I quickly got settled in.

But I guess the big picture is that skaters from all countries have to be capable of making adjustments for rink size.

So when is the Ladies' short? I got really confused today by the comments on British Eurosport. They said they will be back tomorrow withe the ladies's FREE! Whut? Is it at a very crazy hour for Europe and they will show the short and the free tomorrow?
In my country Eurosport's schedule seems to show that. Help!

When was the last time she delivered 2 clean programs in 1 competition?
