Lake Placid is a competition of dark horses; skaters I've never seen, skaters with no international experience, and skaters who have been injured and whose current condition is not wholly known. Therefore any predictions I make should be taken with a huge helping of salt. From looking at the videos I could find of these girls, Evgenia Gerasimova RUS should win--if she skates as she did at the third leg of the 2011 Cup of Russia. However, if she skates as she did at Russian Nationals, she will lose out to Satoko Miyahara who is coming off a win this month at the Asian FS Trophy 2012 Taipei. And then there are the three American girls. If Angela Wang puts it all together, she could win the bronze. Angela has not always been consistent though. And the same can be said of Courtney Hicks, who has been troubled with injuries, but who looked quite good at Glacier Falls. Kiri Baga has also had injuries, and worse, is skating pairs at the same time as competing in singles. So if I had to guess which American girl wins the bronze, I'm guessing Angela, but with my fingers firmly crossed.
