[Joesitz (RIP)]

The last group to skate means they did well in the SP, and the previous group means they missed a little somethingl

I can't help but remember Weir's first Worlds in Dortmund where he went from the 3rd group (Q round) from last to the second and on to the final group. I don't think anyone has donee that since 2004. However I can see Rachael knocking out someone from the last group to skate and placing at least 4th in results. JMO.

From your mouth to the ears of the Skating Gods.

 

[PROKOFIEV]

YES!!! It is possible Rachael place 4th or maybe even 3rd!!! Go Rachel and Alyssa!!! Anything is possible!!!

 

[gopatrick]

Yu Na Kim
Joannie Rochette
Carolina Kostner
Mao Asada
Miki Ando
Cynthia Phaneuf

 

[PROKOFIEV]

RACHAEL

JOANNIE

[berrycute]

I'm going to guess:

FIRST GROUP
Yu-Na Kim 67.24
Alissa Czisny 62.05
Joannie Rochette 61.85
Mao Asada 59.75
Carolina Kostner 59.30
Fumie Suguri 57.55

SECOND GROUP
Miki Ando 55.90
Laura Lepisto 55.55
Rachael Flatt 55.05
Cynthia Phaneuf 53.25
Sarah Meier 50.70
Susanna Poykio 49.85

 

[kalle]

My guess after short program;

1. Joannie Rochette (64.95) 2A, 3Z/2T, 3F
2..Yuna Kim (63.85) 3F/3T, 2Z, 2A
3. Carolina Kostner (61.50) 3F/3T, 2Z, 2A
4. Laura Lepisto (60.60) 3T/3T, 3L, 2A
5. Mao Asada (59.85) 3F/3L (downgraded), 2Z, 2A
6. Rachael Flatt (59.25) 3F/3T (downgraded), 3Z, 2A
7. Fumie Suguri (59.20) 3L/2T, 3F, 2A
8. Miki Ando (59.15) 3Z/3L (downgraded), 3F, 2A
9. Cynthia Phaneuf (58.50)) 3Z/2T, 3F, 2A
10. Susanna Poykio (56.90) 3Z/2T, 3F, 2A
11. Alena Leonova (56.20) 3Z/2L, 3L, 2A
12. Alissa Czisny (56.05) 3Z/2T (downgraded), 3F (fall), 2A

I have not counted Sarah Meier, will she be there? If yes, I think she will knock into top 12.. Also, if Alissa goes clean (I hope!) she will mabye be in 3rd place...I think that some of the top ladies will be nervous and focus too much on their 3x3..I also think the judges will be strict with underrotations this year.

I hope this competition is Joannie's to win

I think Alissa has no chance to skate in the last group but she can easily skate in the third group. Even though I don't like her style and jumping technique, I find her spins superb! Anyway, here is my prediction;

Last Group ( in random order )

1-Laura Lepistö
2-Yu-Na Kim
3-Mao Asada
4-Fumie Suguri
5-Joannie Rochette
6-Rachael Flatt

 

[MKFSfan]

Final Flight:

Yu Na
Mao
Joannie
Carolina
Mikki
Alissa/Fumie/Laura-would love to see Fumie in this group! If Alissa is clean and can skate as well as she did at Nationals, she should be up there. Laura could be there is the others falter and she delivers

Next 6:

Alissa/Fumie/Laura
Rachel
Cynthia
Alena
Sarah
(If Sarah is not healthy, Susanna could be in this group)

Would love for Elene to re-create the strong SP she delivered at Jr. Worlds! But she is a huge question mark.

 

[Tinymavy15]

Not really in order, but I say that the last group of ladies will be:

Yu-na Kim
Mao Asada
Joannie Rochette
Racehal Flatt
Fumie Suguri
Carolina Kostner
