Good luck everyone!

The Hunger Games. Sorry, I mean the Ladies.

For the first time in forever, I think that the order I would dream of seeing the Ladies finish in is actually possible. I’ve nothing against Zhenya, but I am inclined to be extra cautious with her since this is her first competition back from injury.

Consequently, I have opted to have my little Tatar princess from Udmurtia continue her winning run. For second, I have chosen the skater that started this journey off for me, Carolina Kostner. And for third, the youngest of my wives from my Crazy Future Predictions story, Maria Sotskova.

When I looked up the past results, I got a surprise. I was expecting the two French girls to be next, but Diana Nikitina was actually ahead of them. Mind you, she was only 0.04 ahead of Maé-Bérénice!

This actually presented a problem, because I was intending on having the next 4 positions as Lecavallier, Méité, Rajičová, Hendrickx. But, given that Nikitina was higher than all of them, I had to fit her somewhere in there. So, given that there was barely a point covering Nikitina and the 2 French girls, I simply reversed the order of those three, and kept Rajičová and Hendrickx behind them.

The arrival of Nikitina into the equation meant that I had to evict one of the girls I wanted to have in my Top 10. I had wanted to include Schott and Tóth, who were 10th and 12th respectively on the absolute PB list. Schott was only 0.08 behind Hendrivkx. But, I really wanted Tóth in my Top 10, so I opted to have her jump ahead of Schott and Russo. Well, there wasn’t much covering them anyway – only 2.16 points.

For Dance, there was only ever one order I was going to have for the medallists. The real debate was over which order to put Stepanova / Bukin and the two native-English-speaking partnerships.

In the end, I went for the English/Polish/Aussie/Portuguese partnership representing Russia. Tiffany and Jonathan have been improving so much over the past few years, but this season they really took a step up. To the extent that I can see them being real contenders here. I am inclined to be cautious with Penny and Nick because they are still on the road back after her horrific knee injury. But, I have a feeling that they could pull a surprise here, so I put them in front of Stepanova / Bukin.

Next I put Guignard / Fabbri into 7th. They were actually as high as 5th on the absolute PB list, with their recent score from Nationals. But, I wanted to put all the partnerships representing the host country ahead of them, so they dropped out of my Top 6.

For the remaining places in my Top 10, it was so difficult. There are so many partnerships that I think are capable of doing it. And so many that I like. So, I looked down the list and picked the three partnerships who I would most like to see in the Top 10.

And by sheer coincidence, each of these partnerships had at least one skater who was from Kharkov! (What is it about Kharkov that there are so many skaters that I like that come from that city!)
