No Patrick Chan?! :eek:

Ladies: Alissa, Miki, Yuna
Men: Kozuka, Takahashi, Chan
Pairs: S/S, K/S, P/T

Joesitz, why do you think Chan will miss the podium? Stratospheric improvement, highest TES of the season so far, highest PCS of the season so far.....

I'm assuming everyone skates his best.

He may be able to knock out Gachinsky if Patrick keeps his balance and doesn't Fall.
Joubert just may get a place because he's been around so long. (kind of like an award)
Dai is the former World champion.

dorispulaski · Feb 25, 2011

In no particular order

Dance: D&W, V&M, P&B, and if V&M don't attend, B&S

The other thread where we say what we'd like to see is more fun

I'm assuming that you're listing in backwards in every discipline? :biggrin:

ImaginaryPogue · Feb 25, 2011

No order, actually. Wasn't thinking

Joesitz, if everyone skates his best, Chan has the highest base value and highest PCS. Likely highest TES.

Do you really think Gachinski is at the level where he can medal at worlds?

I sure don't. He may have the tech content, but not much else that I can see.

I do not think Gachinsky us at the medal stage yet, but he will.

Joesitz, if everyone skates his best, Chan has the highest base value and highest PCS. Likely highest TES.

Chan has the most potential to place on the podium, and even win it, but he tends to be awkward on technique. I think the Worlds judges will get him on this. Base Values mean nothing to me; they vary from panel to panel, and PC scores moreso. There is more to PC than the misnomer skating skills.

Base values vary from panel to panel?

Chan's technique is awkward?

Why the confusion? You've seen his 3Axel attempts, haven't you? He has also had many unsteady jump landings in the past, though this season's GPF and Canadian Nationals show improvement in that area.
