And shockingly - I almost forgot! But since I thankfully remembered I better have this done at once - before I forget again. (Yes, sadly, this is fully possible... As the Swedish saying goes: "My memory is good - but short." )

Men:

1. Javier Fernandez
2. Brian Joubert

(Yes, yes, I know, I know - but I don't care. And top of everything, there's this bran new SP thing... But they are my points, and I can elect to lose them whichever way I want! Besides, I'm showing restraint. I'm not placing Brian first. And Javi could have got his act together again - you know, he could... might... maybe... possibly... something... )

3. Maxim Kovtun
4. Michal Brezina
5. Sergei Voronov
6. Tomas Verner
7. Florent Amodio

(As for rest.... Hmph! No, can't say I'm satisfied with the rest of my predictions either... Now, if the men were just even a tad more consistent, they'd be a bit easier to predict. But they seem to be up and down like yo-yos the whole lot of them! Honestly!)

Ladies:

1. Julia Lipnitskaia
2. Carolina Kostner
3. Adelina Sotnikova
4. Valentina Marchei
5. Mae Berenice Meite
6. Alena Leonova
7. Joshi Helgesson

ETA - Scratch that question. I just read AlexD's practice report - and she's there, so it's all good. )

Pairs:

1. Volosozhar/Trankov
2. Savchenko/Szolkowy
3. Berton/Hotarek
4. Stolbova/Klimov
5. James/Cipres
6. Bazarova/Larionov

5. Riazanova/Tkachenko
6. Papadakis/Cizeron

And yes. I do have A Bad Feeling about this...

It's been a long while for me since I took part the last time... might be a little rusty. Better start with the men to get the rust off, I was bad there all the time anyway

Flamin’ ‘eck! It was hard enough to find enough skaters to make up a Top 6 in the Singles categories, never mind the Top 10 I was intending on doing!

So, I ended up doing a Top 12 for all categories!!! (Go figure that one out!)

I should add – good skater though she is, I do not honestly expect Anne Line to get 8th position in the Ladies. In a field as competitive as this, it is just asking too much of a relatively inexperienced skater. I am just making a point to the Norwegian Federation that, after earning Norway the Olympic slot, she deserves to go to Sochi.

Funny how that particular controversy isn’t getting the same publicity as the Nagasu controversy…

THIS IS YOUR TWO HOUR WARNING.

You have just 2 hours left to get your predictions in, i.e. until 09:30 CET (08:30 GMT)

I'm just getting a bit concerned about the number of entries for the Europeans Round of the Predictions Game.

For anybody that is planning on doing predictions for Olympics and Worlds, just remember that Europeans and Four Continents are part of the same Game. So, if you don't join in for Euros or 4CC, you will be starting on the back foot compared to those that are playing.
