Congratulations!!!

I have to admit, I was expecting the Ice Dance to have the lowest scores, due to the unexpected withdrawal of my kids after their unfortunate accident during practice. After all, most of the players included them in their predictions. However, as it turned out, the Ice Dance medallists had the highest scores!

It just goes to show, anything can happen with the predictions!

Thank you to @gsk8 for running the round, and to all the players for playing. It would not be possible without you all.

Hope to see you all again next week!

Omg I got bronze for ladies!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Overall bronze despite bombing men with 20 points! And I was this close to putting Adam Hagara in my predictions too... if I had, I would've gotten silver or gold!

 

[Ivana]

Overall silver, yay! I couldn't be happier that I bombed men, because Adam won gold!

A bronze medal in the Men's event, Yippee! Congratulations to all.

 

[gsk8]

Congratulations to all the medalists!

We now have two new debutants to the Hall of Fame! @Zamin and @skim1001 Welcome!

Also a shout out to @Green Carrots who just leveled up to the Intermediate HOF!

Thank you @CaroLiza_fan for posting the tables!

Next stops are JGP Istandbul and CS Lombardia!!

 

[invisiblespiral]

I won men???

 

[SubRosa]

I won men???

Ditto!

Yay us!

 

[el henry]

Junior men: where 30 earns a bronze

(well I did have Adam, Hyungjeom and Beck in the right order: just not the right places )

Congrats to all the medalists!

 

[AlyonasAxel]

omgg Thank you for your post. Great job everyone!

 

[silvia]

A gold for ladies and a bronze for men! Congratulations to all the medallists and thanks to the scorers

 

[BlissfulSynergy]

I'm very surprised to win overall silver! Amazing! After the pairs event, I thought I had flubbed my chances. I initially had Ariano Kent/ Laliberte- Laurent in first over Flores/ Wang, and then I changed my prediction. I would have scored more points had I stayed with my first inclination in pairs. Apparently, I was closer in predicting the other disciplines at Linz! Honestly, these contests are fun, but winning can be random. Albeit, paying attention to checking past results (as best you can when they are nonexistent), along with trusting initial intuition, probably makes a difference.

Congratulations to fellow silver medalists, @Ivana & @tutkladidze, and to all the medalists! I also unexpectedly won bronze in ice dance at JGP Bangkok. It was nice to just get on the board there. Junior predictions can be touch-and-go, with so many debuting skaters on the JGP this season.

Thanks to everyone who puts these contests together, and tallies the numbers afterward!

 

[ladyjane]

No medals for me in Austria, but a big congrats to the medallists nonetheless!

Apart from being fun, I like that prepping for the prediction game gives me an overview of who to watch for. Also, I'm more likely to tune in to watch a competition I feel some investment in. The randomness just keeps me coming back for more; intermittent reinforcement in action!

Congratulations everyone! Starting the year off with a bronze in pairs and the motivation to wade through the list of juniors for the next GP!
Thanks to the hosts and scorekeepers and good luck in Istanbul to all!

 

[elektra blue]

i wasn't totally expecting two medals here! congrats to all the other medalists! thank you host and scorers

 

[gsk8]

We have updated the tables

@Zamin earned a silver instead of bronze

@BlissfulSynergy and @tutkladidze slipped to bronze. This was due to the fact that we now have 155 points for silver instead of 150.
