When the scores are factored she won't be leading by that much. She's still got the SP and FS to go. Time and time again skaters start strong and wimp out at the end. It's just too soon to tell.

coolio said:I would say that Kimmie is the one that will be the spoiler, she consistently scores higher on PCS and she is no fragile jumper comparing to Yukari and Yoshie. But it will take a lot of heart for her to beat Fumie.
But it's about time Sasha wins her first world...
True, that is why she wont medal. Joanne is a much bigger fan of home crowd and she skates on momentum which is shifting her way of course. I say she is a contender for gold as she has beaten Fumie various times. It only takes one mistake for Cohen to lose her gold....yet again...Jasper said:Meissner could do it too, but she didn't put down a great under-pressure performance at the Olympics. I think she needs her triple-triples to be a threat.
Red Dog said:I wouldn't mind her winning. She seems a good kid.
Suguri- she's alright...but since Arakawa already won Ladies' OGM I'm looking for someone other than Japan to win the world title. But I wouldn't absolutely HATE it if she won, though.
