ETA:​

Excerpt below - which includes season's best scores -- is from ISU's event preview (04 December 2012). http://www2.isu.org/vsite/vnavsite/...3,4844-205151-222374-nav-list,00.html?id=1211

​

World Champions Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir (CAN/seasons best 173.99) will meet World silver medalists Meryl Davis/Charlie White (USA/seasons best 178.48 points) and World bronze medalists Nathalie Pechalat/Fabian Bourzat (FRA/seasons best 169.73) for the first time this season. All three couples advance with two gold medals from their two events. Ekaterina Bobrova/Dmitri Soloviev (RUS/seasons best 159.95), Elena Ilinykh/Nikita Katsalapov (RUS/seasons best 158.46) and Anna Cappellini/Luca Lanotte (ITA/seasons best 160.06) earned two silver medals en route to the Final. Ilinykh/Katsalapov will compete in their first Final.

Virtue and Moir will be very hard to beat. D/W second with places 3-6 being the same as qualifying seeds. Politiks will not allow rocking of the boat here. Barring, of course, unusual errors from the skaters causing deductions, these will be the placements.

 

[Macassar88]

Hopefully Bobrova and Soloviev will get at least 4th place. I wonder whether they can stave off Capellini and Lanotte - hopefully Zhulin has helped them get their YP levels up.

And I obviously want Virtue and Moir to win their first GPF - I think that Carmen is a masterpiece!

 

[blue_idealist]

I think 4-6 could be mixed around a bit, depending on how they skate. 1-2 are up for grabs between the top two teams, but I think it's almost definite that P&B will be in third. It'll be weird not having the Shibutanis or Weaver and Poje there.

 

[Whitneyskates]

Virtue and Moir will be very hard to beat

Not really sure how you arrive at this conclusion. D/W have outscored them throughout the series. I know you can't compare scores across events but I don't think V/M are gonna breeze in and get the gold.

 

[uncchristine99]

I hope to see Davis and White at the top--I really like both of their programs this year. Virtue/Moir have a beautiful Carmen but I'm not quite buying their polka short. Not enough polka energy in it for me.

Either way, I guess we are really talking about bronze anyway. Wouldn't it be great if Cappellini and Lanotte landed on the podium as well! I think they're grossly underrated! Besides them, I personally am just not that moved by any of the other 3 teams. I'd rather see Weaver/Poje or the Shibs in there.

 

[dorispulaski]

It would be very cool to see C&L on the podium. They and V&M and D&W are all part of the same graduating class from Juniors -2006 their last Jr Worlds, 2006-2007 their first Senior Wolrds.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

The same podium as the 2005 JGPF would indeed be wonderful.

What time in US does it begin?
