Anyone have any predictions for worlds this year?
attyfan said:I predict the following:
1. Since Peggy already predicted that this year, Shizuka "is the one to beat", Shizuka will lose.
2. There will be a scoring controversy; and
3. Kwan's skate will shock everyone.

Personally, I think posters are waiting to see the respective Nationals and read of the results. There is also Euros and 4Continents. These are important to consider the predictions of Worlds.
What you will get from this thread are posters's favorite skaters, and something based on the GPs (not everyone skated in them as you know), and past performances,

I read a post on FSU by MINAM who heard the post-GPF interviews with the Japanese Ladies, and reported what Arakawa said about her training for this season, which could impact her standings at Worlds this year.Mathman said:Doubleaxelcm, I agree that in the ladies Shizuka still has the most to prove. Last year she won only one competition. She finished third in both the GP finals and Japanese Nationals, and second in her GP events and some cheesefests.
Of course, if you can only win one event, it might as well be the World Championship, LOL.

Red Dog said:Hm...looking more and more like she could run away with the title this year.
Kuchana said:Let's not be too hasty here. True, Irina seems to have the advantage this early on but I think it'll be a close decision. I'm reminded of 2001 Worlds
True for sureMathman said:I wouldn't call Irina a spoiler. Based on the season so far, she's the favorite!

Red Dog said:We may very well open up this thread in five months and laugh at all the posts. But for now, I'm settled on IS. :agree:
doubleaxelcm said:At this point I think we HAVE made so much hype for Irina and nobody else that I'm not sure she's going to win it anymore.
Joesitz said:If Irina doesn't win, we have all lost our credability in predicting skating champions.
