[LRK]

Unfortunately, my gut also told me Kozuka would medal at Skate Canada. Granted, my ultimate "brain" prediction, with Rippon in the top 5, panned out just as badly.

Are you sure that wasn't your brain masquerading as your gut? The brain can be very devious that way, you know...

[Sandpiper]

Are you sure that wasn't your brain masquerading as your gut? The brain can be very devious that way, you know...

Nah, if anything it could've been my heart masquerading as my gut. No way my brain would've put Kozuka on the podium after his skate at Japan Open.
