The following listing of information is in the start order for the Ladies Short Program. JGP Bosphorus is a rather weak field. My guess is that Satoko Miyahara JPN , the Lake Placid JGP winner wins here too, with some serious competition from Uliana Tijushina RUS. Leah Keiser of the USA has been skating well recently, and may finish third. If So Youn Park KOR can skate as strong a long program as her short program in Lake Placid, she can medal. Other strong competitors here are Kristina Zaseeva RUS and Nina Jiang USA.
