Let's see the line up. http://www.kraso.sk/wp-content/uploads/sutaze/2016_2017/20160929_mon/CAT002EN.HTM

Lipnitskaia, Leonova, Sotskova, Rajicova, Kuchvalska, Choi, and Bell.

I would say Julia, Leonova and Sotskova are favorites. If Julia can pull it off in her FS, she is likely to win as there is no doubt about her SP consistency. However, given the latest result at Russian Nationals and Sotskova's solid consistency, she could win over the seasoned skaters.

Honestly I don't know who anyone would expect to beat her other than Sotskova. I'd be very surprised if she doesn't at least get silver, though Bell if clean could be a spoiler.

Sotskova is clear favourite imo, especially after successful test skates. Then it gets even:
- Julia and Leonova have last year's Russian Cup Final stuff to straighten out,
- question is how much Mariah Bell improved under Rafa (will she finally jump a ratified 3-3 at 20yo? :rolleye:)
- how much fire have amazing Korean babies put under "older" girls?
- have no idea what shape Rajicova and Kuchvalska are,
- I guess Yushchenko being Russian is always potentially dangerous.

It's a bit hard to not see that the whole thread is with those ridiculous headings. It just turns people off being a fan. Julia is my favourite skater, but when reading thread title like this, a part of me wishes that she bombs just to go against this forecast, to annoy you. And trust me, it is not nice to wish a favourite skater to bomb.

You better not have jinxed her, or else... :dev2:

I wish her a clean(ish) LP, and fun. Let her have some fun, skating gods!

Just fun facts

1. Wakaba Higuchi won the CS Lombardia Trophy (senior debutante)
2. Satoko Miyahara won the CS US Classic (former World silver medalist)
3. Mai Mihara won the CS Nebelhorn Trophy (senior debutante)

Who will win the Nepela trophy? One of the former World silver medalists? or another senior debutante? :biggrin:
