Why bother?
Except for Pairs, there's little correlation between being a GPF competitor and winning a World medal.
I did a thread on The Edge on this. If I got my points correct, it should help to make a prediction. I think Dobrin is the only one that Preaubert has to worry about.To speak to the original question, is it too early to start making guesses about the Grand Prix Final? -- no, in fact with four down and only two to go we can make some pretty confident predictions.
In men's I don't see it coming out any other way than Lambiel, Joubert, Oda, Lysacek, Takahashi and Preaubert.
It may come down to the second tie-breaker.I did a thread on The Edge on this. If I got my points correct, it should help to make a prediction. I think Dobrin is the only one that Preaubert has to worry about.
I tried to figure this out, but there were still too many possibilities. Kimmie is probably out, but Rochette holds the first tie-breaker against anyone who gets a second and a third. Suguri, Nakano and Asada are all competing against each other in NHK -- they can't all win.In the Ladies, I see both Joannie and Kimmie out, or hanging by a thread. Sara and Alyssa are waaaaay out.
