I don't think I'll win skate picks this time. Val and Max did much better than I expected! Let's see if they turn out a good program tonight.

with only 6 teams, scores will be high except mine because I love Tsiba so I put him in third

I had picked Dani/Tsiba but I think Naga/Mori could take this, now that they have a triple twist.
