Actually, I haven't thought about any specific. I just like surprises -- and good competition.
Honestly though, I think it would be fun to see Boyang do it again (and move up); I like that kid. It would be fun to see Jason do it for the mind-blown-nobody-saw-this-coming-mode that has come with his career. I wouldn't be surprised if Shoma won cause he's quite the competitor.
But I guess I'm veering off the discussion flow--cause the speculation is who would win if clean. I guess I'd stick with Hanyu-Chan-Fernandez too with Shoma and Boyang playing spoiler.
Boyang Jin is out of GPF, by this 1 pt loss, even if Jason, Nathan or Kolyada were to fail at NHK to make it to podium, Adam will get this spot. COC judging ensured this. Tbh, I'm certain that this was the intended outcome all along.
If Jin had won by even <1, and deservedly so as he performed the highest BV TES with the fewest mistakes but received astonishingly low GOE and PCS from some judges, then he would likely make it to GPF.
So NHK will determine who gets this GPF spot but definitely Jin is out, as Adam will get it if the 3 mentioned fail to get on the podium.
This is why it's such a controversial win. I seldom say this but Jin was robbed, not by Chan or even Canada as Patrick will get in with a Silver, but by the judges who want their own skaters to get this GPF spot.
I hope that Jason will get on the podium at NHK, we'll see him at GPF. :agree:
