I am ridiculously excited for this event, so why not start another questionnaire thread?
You don't have to answer all the questions if you don't want to. And if you think of a question I didn't ask that you want to answer, by all means, post it! I will add it to the OP. Ready? Let's go!
Red=my answers
1. Who are you most excited to see (at any level)?
In seniors: Gracie Gold, Karen Chen, the Shibs, Hawayek/Baker, Kayne/O'shea, Castelli/Tran, Cannuscio/McManus, Max Aaron, Nathan Chen, Grant Hochstein; in juniors, Vivian Le, McNamara/Carpenter, Carreira/Ponomarenko, Gropman/Sommerville (they are PRESH! ), Emily Chan, Anna Grace Davidson (my fave from last year's novice event!)
2. Who do you think will win the senior events?
Gracie (could be Ashley, but I have a feeling it's Gracie's turn ), Max, Scimeca/Knierim, Chock/Bates
3. Which event, at any level, will be the most exciting or best-quality?
Junior and senior dance
4. Which event, at any level, will be the most unpredictable?
Men's...although the ladies could go a million ways too
5. Who will be this year's surprise ladies medalist, if anyone?
IDK, Mirai Nagasu?
6. In the wake of this week's announcement, who will take the men's medals?
Max, Nathan, Adam, and either Ross or Grant
7. Will Ashley make it a quad (win her 4th US title)?
Possibly. It almost entirely depends on how Gracie does, unless she (Ashley) bombs spectacularly
8. Will the Shibs upset C/B for the title?
I hope so, but I'm not sure the judges will let them
9. Who will be the second pair team on the World Team?
Either Kayne/O'Shea or Castelli/Tran...could go either way but K/O have a slight edge
10. Who do you think will be on the Junior World teams in any/all disciplines?
In ladies, Vivian Le and Emily Chan; in men's, Nathan Chen and Vincent Zhou; in dance, M/C, Parsons and C/P; and in pairs, W/F, L/J and W/S
11. If a top senior lady skates perfectly, what crazy or surprisingly fair score do you think she'd get?
If Gracie or Ashley skates lights-out, at least 73 and 145+ (who knows, could be 155 after the inflation fiasco last year)
12. Do you have any surprise medalist predictions? If so, who?
Grant Hochstein, of course!
13. Which juniors are you most excited about?
MINIQUEEN VIVI!!!!!! Also M/C and Emily Chan, and Gropman/Sommerville, and Carreira/Ponomarenko.
14. Who have you noticed during Sectionals that you hope will do well here?
I don't remember
15. If the Nationals Genie granted you two Nationals wishes, what would they be?
1. Ladies podium is Gracie-Karen-Mariah-Mirai in that order
2. Vivian skates perfectly and dominates the juniors
3. Year of the Shibs.
