Junior Worlds: Predictions Game Round 2

[CaroLiza_fan]

This was actually quite a difficult event to make predictions on. Because I didn’t get the chance to watch much of the Junior GP Series this season. And there were so many familiar names that I knew were good last season.

FORTY FIVE MEN???!!!

That is far too many to look up on both ISU Results and Stats On Ice!

Against my better wisdom, I did look up ALL of them on Stats On Ice (well, you never know who might have high scores from competitions that are not in their ISU Bios. Look at Zagitova at the start of this season).

However, after putting them in order of their highest PB’s on Stats On Ice, I noticed that nearly all the scores for the top guys were from last season or before. And when I scrolled down, I found the tables hadn’t been updated since last season.

So, I went over to Rink Results and repeated the process.

I was really impressed that as many as 16 of the entrants have absolute PB’s of over 200 points.

Before doing that whole process, I had been thinking of putting Dmitri Aliev at the top. But, after seeing the absolute PB’s, there are realistically only going to be 2 guys gunning for the gold medal – Vincent Zhou and Alexander Samarin.

Both of those guys scored their absolute PB’s at Nationals this season, with Zhou 3 points ahead. But, I am going to go for Samarin as he has generally been scoring better during the whole season. (Although, that said, Vincent’s second highest score, which was from last month’s Bavarian Open, was a good 10 points higher than Sasha’s second highest score, which was from December’s GP Final).

Alexander Petrov should be a safe bronze medallist. But, Aliev, Cha, Samohin and Aymoz should have a good fight over the next four places. Since I was planning on having Aliev win, I kept him as the highest.

Cha’s absolute PB was only one point behind Aliev’s absolute PB. But, I had always intended putting Samohin in my Top 5. So, although he was 3 points further back, I promoted him ahead of Cha, who became my alternate. I then kept Aymoz in 7th.

The next 5 guys (Torgashev, Nadeau, Krasnozhon, Paniot and Sadovsky) were too close to separate, with only 4 points covering them. So, rather than try to justify changing them around, I kept them in absolute PB order. For the next 2 guys, Rizzo was only 0.2 ahead of Tomono. And I kept them in that order for the simple reason that I am more familiar with Rizzo through watching the Italian Championships every year.

For Pairs and Dance, I was not able to do my usual looking up the absolute PB’s because Stats On Ice took down the Pairs and Dance team profiles last week, and only have the individual profiles left up. And Rink Results have never done Pairs or Dance team profiles.

So, I ended up working from ISU PB’s. Which was not ideal, bearing in mind that there are partnerships that have never competed in competitions that count towards ISU Bios before.

In Pairs, there were not many groups of partnerships. There were gaps between most of the couples, particularly in the Top 6. In fact, the only change to the ISU PB order that I made was for 3rd and 4th. Rather than putting 6 Russians on the podium, I put 5 Russians and a Native Australian on the podium!

I have been so impressed with Alexandrovskaya / Windsor this season, and I have a feeling they will get on the podium and prevent the domination of Team Russia. A shock win like Dušková / Bidař did last season might be asking a bit much of them. But, I do think a podium is achievable.

Since I had to sort the Men out twice, I didn’t have time to do the Dance today as I intended. But, I’ll do them (and hopefully the Ladies too) tomorrow.

Thank you so much for pointing that out, cathlen. I'll fix it now.

Thank goodness the competition hasn't started yet and I can change it. It would be a bit embarassing if the Pairs scorer messed up his own Pairs predictions!

At least somebody is on the ball!

Thankfully the team profiles are now back on Stats On Ice.

The absolute PB order it came up with for Ice Dance was interesting. According to it, we are going to have an all-American podium!

Now, you all know me by now. I can’t have a podium without any Russians on it (OK, so Ponomarenko is from Russian stock, but you know what I mean! Representing Russia). And, I really like Loboda / Drodz anyway, so want them to be on the podium.

The problem is that I actually like all three American partnerships as well! And then there is the complicating factor of Abachkina / Thauron, who I also really like!

So, can we have five steps on the podium, please?

OK, so I’ve made a decision. I am putting the Parsons on top, with Carpenter / McNamara in second, and Lobodo / Drodz completing the podium. Then Carreira / Ponomorenko in 4th and Abachkina / Thauron in 5th.

The 2 remaining Russian partnerships were next on the absolute PB list. However, I was actually thinking of moving the Czech partnership that came along after them ahead. But, when I looked at the scores, Shpilevaya / Smirnov were 3 points ahead of Skoptcova / Aleshin, who were 6 points ahead of Kuzmich / Sinicyn. And both Russian couples finished on the podium in both their GP's, whereas the Czechs finished 2nd and 4th. Everything was pointing towards that order, so I kept them in that order.

Closer to the Czech partnership in terms of absolute PB were the French partnership behind them Lajoie / Lagha. But, I am not as familiar with them as I am with the Czechs. So, I wasn’t tempted to move them ahead.

In fact, I wasn’t familiar enough with any of the rest of the field. There were a couple of individual skaters that I was not only familiar with, but actually like. The problem is that they have changed partners this season. If they had been with their old partners, I would have put them into the Top 10. But, I am not used to them with their new partners yet. So, I kept them down in their absolute PB position outside the Top 10.

Ladies will follow tomorrow.

Decided to do the Ladies predictions earlier in the day than I was planning, largely due to the Men’s FS Stream being unwatchable.

Got a few surprises. Firstly that, just like the Men, we have 45 entries. Secondly, that Tsurskaya is back.

Not that that is going to make any difference to my predictions. I was always going to put Zagitova on top no matter who was there.

Reardless of whether it was Tsurskaya that was sent here or whether it was Fedichkina, my Top 6 was always going to be made up of all the Russian and Japanese skaters, plus Squirtle. So, it’s just a matter of choosing an order.

But, now I have a dilemma. Where do I put Polina T? She has the second highest absolute PB from last season’s Junior Nationals, but did not set the world alight in this season’s Junior GP Series. And I really don’t know what to expect of her.

Plus, there is the small matter of the fact that I don’t like her style of skating.

In the end, I did move her down. I moved Stanislava and Marin up into 2nd and 3rd, and put Polina T into 4th.

Eun Soo’s absolute PB from winning Senior Nationals in January was only 2 points behind Kaori’s absolute PB from winning Junior Sectionals in October. But, on balance, I felt it would be safer to go with the older girl.

After Squirtle, there was a 5 point gap to Shiwaira and then another 5 point gap to Tennel. So, I just kept them in those positions.

After this, there was a 9 point gap to Dastich. So, I decided to do something different. Instead of just continuing going by scores, I decided to move up 2 girls that I have a real soft spot for, and would love to see finish in the Top 10.

Enter Elisabetta Leccardi and Aiza Mambekova.

Leccardi was actually 16th on the absolute PB list. The first time I saw her 2 or 3 seasons ago, I was so impressed with her. But, the second time I saw her, she had the scariest fall I have ever seen. She actually needed medical attention on the ice. But, she has come back from that stronger than ever, setting new PB’s in all segments at her very next competition just 2 months later. And she has continued to progress at pace ever since.

Mambekova was 33rd on the absolute PB list. As I said in my first predictions post, I didn’t see much of the Junior GP Series this year. So, Aiza only really came up on my radar a few weeks ago at the Universiade. And I absolutely loved her! And, I am really gunning for her to get a slot in the Kazakh team for the Senior Majors next season, should Tursynbaeva earn another.

It will be interesting to see if this gamble will pay off.

It's fine with me, anyway. I've made the exact same mistake as TT_Fin many a time, albeit not with my predictions. So, I could relate to the situation, and felt really sorry about the consequences.

matmuh - you are a star for thinking of saving everybody's predictions. I wouldn't have thought of doing that.

Polina's meltdown has made the ladies' prediction results quite lamentable. So we have:

Gold Medal :
tinnychan
sequinsgalore
Antyv
matmuh
tutorann15
Tastetherainbow
blackey

with 50 points

I would not list silver and bronze. First, there were not particularly good predictions. Second, when 14 out 34 participants get 45 points one would hardly name them silver medalists.
