Adding Courtney now! Thanks I haven't added Polina because atm I don't think her scores really put her in contention for a spot!

What about the third Canadian spot. I think the first 2 are a lock but who gets the third?

 

[kenboy123]

No need to name her, Canadian women are the usual three, no one else will come close even though Canadian girl #1 is far ahead of Canadian girl #2...and Canadian girl #2 is even more far ahead of Canadian girl #3...but no one else is even going to come close to Canadian girl #3....

Yeah, I thought at the beginning of the year, Canadian girl #4 and #5 can give a push to Canadian girl #3, but it turns out i'm wrong. Canadian girl #4 and #5 are struggling even more...

What I Want:
Japan: Marin & Satoko
USA: Karen & Bradie & Mariah
Russia: Evgenia & Alina & Anna

What will happen:
Japan: Satoko & Wakaba
USA: Bradie & Ashley & Mirai
Russia: Evgenia & Alina & Maria

 

[Anni234]

USA
Ashley Wagner
Mirai Nagasu
Karen Chen (she has the tendency to only get it together, when it REALLY counts)

Japan
Satoko Miyahara (although I personally would like to see Mai Mihara instead of Satoko, I think this seems unlikely. )
Wakaba Higuchi

Russia
Evgenia Medvedeva
Alina Zagitova
Maria Sotskova (again would like to see Elena Radionova here, but there is no denying Maria's results and consistency this season)

 

[Seren]

USA
Ashley W.
Bradie T.
Karen C. or Mirai N. (whoever does better at Nationals- I can't call it yet).

Japan
Satoko M.
Wakaba H. (if Wakaba doesn't go I'm going to spend the entire ladies event drinking and watching James Bond films).

Russia
Evgenia M.
Alina Z.
Maria S.
(I wish I could magically make Anna P. healthy )

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Taking a curve ball here...

Italy

Carolina Kostner
Elisabetta Leccardi

Not sure it will happen, but that would be my dream team! :agree:

But this one will definitely happen, all things being equal:

Kazakhstan

Elizabet Tursynbaeva
Aiza Mambekova

For the big countries - I'm not even going to try to guess!
