Predictions for tonight?

[Lonewolf]

Predictions What are your predictions for tonight? Kimmie will make the podium, but I don’t think she can over come Mirai and Ashley’s lead. Since Mirai, Rachel, and Caroline cannot go to worlds, I think Bebe will be the third person added to this years team.

Final Order

1. Mirai Nagasu
2. Ashley Wagner
3. Kimmie Meissner
4. Rachael Flatt
5. Beatrisa Liang
6. Caroline Zhang

Going to Worlds

1. Ashley Wagner
2. Kimmie Meissner
3. Beatrisa Liang

1)Mirai
2)Ashley
3)Caroline
4)Kimmie
5)Rachel
6)Bebe


Just a thought........lol

 

[flying camel]

Here is what I think will happen

1. Wagner (she is confident)
2. Mirai
3. Kimmie
4. Flatt
5. Zhang
6. Hacker
7. Bebe
8. Czisny

Going to worlds

1. Wagner
2. Kimmie
3. Hacker

It would be nice if Bebe could finally go to worlds, but she always has 2 to 3 falls in the LP. If she can stay on her feet maybe it will finally be her turn.

1) Nagasu

4) Zhang

Here's mine:

1. Wagner
2. Nagasu
3. Meissner
4. Flatt
5. Zhang
6. Hacker
7. Liang
8. Czisny

World Team:
1. Wagner
2. Meissner
3. Hacker

I think Ashley will skate a perfect or almost perfect performance earning her gold. I feel like Mirai may have some underrotations called on her knocking her down to second. I also think Kimmie will also have a pretty good performance coming back after her fall in the short giving her bronze.

[carolinefan177]

I'm in no way wishing ill on any of the skaters...here are my predictions

1. Kimmie- She'll give a good showing and bring the crowd to its feet
2. Mirai - After suffering from some downgrades (a lack of stamina), she will be able to hang on to silver with her inflated short (not that it was bad or anything)
3. Caroline- I think she will rebound now that some of the pressure has been lifted and stun the crowd with the best free skate score of the night (but even if she falls on all her jumps, i'll still be her fan!!):agree:
4. Ashley- Girls got fight, but I don't know if she can land that beautiful 3-3 again in the long.
5. Rachael- She'll put off a respectable program

 

[MKFSfan]

I was hoping for Mirai, Caroline, Kimmie and Ashley 1-4 in any order. I really hope Caroline and Kimmie rally and skate their programs to full potential. I think the top 4 will remain the top 4, with Kimmie sneaking onto the podium.

 

[rtureck]

Hard to predict, my wish: Nagasu, Kimmie, Bebe,Flatt, Wagner in that order

 

[fratboy96]

I predict ABSOLUTE CHAOS.

1) Caroline Zhang - nail her program, everyone else is flawed.
2) Rachael Flatt - Smiles her way to the worlds
3) Bebe Liang - Stares down her long program troubles with a strong 2nd place finish.
4) Ashley Wagner - Gets just a little too excited about her first trip to Seniors
5) Mirai Nagasu - Falls twice because of teddy bear lint on the ice.
6) Katrina Hacker - Does okay, but can't move up.
7) Kimmie Meissner - Falls three times, break shoelaces, demands reskate, but it's not enough.

 

[bekalc]

I prefer Nagasu to Wagner, although I like Wagner a lot. But personlly going by everyone's history. I think Wagner's going to win this one. Why because of all the ladies in the US, Wagner is point blank the most consistent. Wagner has had only one underrotation call this season and that was with her 3/3. She has the most sound jumps of all the bunch, and while I think she needs some more polish, she does have presentation on the ice.

If I were a betting woman, my bets would go to Wagner. And honestly I think Wagner as US champion would be a good thing going into Worlds. Meissner already has the judges respect, and I think this would give Wagner more respect with the international judges. Wagner has averaged 6 triple jumps in her long this season, and last season. That's more than Nagasu, Flatt, Meissner, Zhang have managed to do. And as I said fully rotated triples.

I predict ABSOLUTE CHAOS.

1) Caroline Zhang - nail her program, everyone else is flawed.
2) Rachael Flatt - Smiles her way to the worlds
3) Bebe Liang - Stares down her long program troubles with a strong 2nd place finish.
4) Ashley Wagner - Gets just a little too excited about her first trip to Seniors

6) Katrina Hacker - Does okay, but can't move up.
7) Kimmie Meissner - Falls three times, break shoelaces, demands reskate, but it's not enough.

But what about Alissa?

 

[GoldMedalist]

Are we predicting the Final result or just the LP here?

 

[fratboy96]

But what about Alissa?

Oh yeah.

8) Alissa Czisny - Power goes out at the arena, so Alissa is asked to stand on center ice and smile for 10 minutes.

 

[katymay]

Okay, I'll throw in

1) Mirai
2) Rachel Flatt
3) Kimmie
4) Ashley
5)Bebe
6)Caroline.

Whatever the result in placements, this Nationals is WAY more exciting than the past 2 years. In terms of depth of talent, it's never been better. And the U.S. has always been one of the strongest in the ladies field!!!!
