2017 GPF Predictions: Ladies
- Thread starter gsk8
- Start date
that's not about bond but about strange destiny. i know many examples when lucky losers won competitions. in tennis i see it almost every month. so yeah higuchi or miyahara. they skate much faster than russians but their skating is empty and their jumps have many urs. but it will be enough for the win. especially at the home ice

2. Zagitova
3. Higuchi
4. Osmond
5. Kostner
6. Sotskova

my vote will go for :
1- Evgenia Medvedeva ( even injured she proved to us what was the best):luv17:
2- Alina Zagitova ( i do not like her skating but i recognize her great qualities she can reach 230 points if makes no mistake)
3- Carolina Kotsner ( great artist her PCS can save her )
4- Kaethlyn Osmond ( unfortunately his FS fail him)
5- Wakaba Higuchi ( i would have put it on the podium but it lacks something compared to the best according to the judges) :sad4:
6- Maria Sotskova ( she on the good start unfortunately her skating is bland but i love the idea of adding the Tanos)

I think Alina will win. I want Wakaba to win. I want Kostner to be last if she doesn't up her tech (yes, I said it).

According to the announcement, the SP will be skated in reverse order of qualifying, while the FS will have a draw.

Thank you! So in that case, if there are no withdrawals, the starting order will be:
1. Wakaba Higuchi JPN
2. Maria Sotskova RUS
3. Carolina Kostner ITA
4. Kaetlyn Osmond CAN
5. Alina Zagitova RUS
6. Evgenia Medvedeva RUS
Wakaba’s skating first. I wonder how much that’ll affect her scores...

It depends on whether
a) Evgenia will compete
b) Evgenia will compete being completely recovered or not.
I think if Evgenia competes but isn't healthy, she could underperform due to the pain, to not having trained enought and mostly to the pressure of knowing you're not at your best while Zagitova is healthy and strong. She was injured at NHK and still won, but she needs to be clean at GPF.

I would say Osmond above Higuchi (judges seem to love Osmond, and seem to hate Wakaba)
Kostner, if clean, may beat Wakaba too, because again, judges.
