This is at best sort of on topic but why did Dube/Wolfw WD? I knew they did but I never figured out why. Are they still going to Rostelecom?

This thread is getting fun. Almost everyone’s predicting Ashley, V/T, D/W, and Yuzru are going to win SA. Well, I also think Ashley, V/T, and D/W will win. I’m not sure about Yuzru though. He was not in a good form at the beginning of GP series last year, so I don’t think he’ll make the podium here. I wish Kozuka, Jeremy, and Brezina will get on the podium.

 

[FSGMT]

Everyone (included me!) is predicting Wagner to win this, but I'm not sure about her... Leonova might surprise us!
This game is getting really a funny one! Keep track of all these predictions, Macassar88!

Luckily I can see everyone's picks here.
I probably won't update until each event is over. That way we can have our equivalent of small medals (for winners of each GP and winners for each discipline)

Good idea! :agree: We could do this for 4CC, euros and worlds and then, at the end of the season, decide the "season predictions winner" or something like this!

Considering that everyone (or almost everyone) is predicting that Wagner will win, it would be funny if we are all wrong. Ladies and men are the most unpredictable at this event so it is more possible for someone other than Wagner to win, than for D/W or V/T to lose. However, I think she has more chances than Leonova or Sotnikova so I voted for her, too.

Especially with Pang and Tong injured - although if they skate clean and VT mess up, PT could win. You never know

 

[DianaSelene]

Pang/Tong were injured? I didn't know that...

 

[Macassar88]

Yeah they are injured- but they said that they had to compete here anyway so they get some momentum.

 

[Macassar88]

Wow... Leonova really screwed us over... Let's see if she can bounce back in the free.
