In a perfect day (means when everybody skates cleanly with their A game) as far as I've seen it the best skaters are, and the order will be:
1.Yu-Na
2.Mao
3.Kostner or Suzuki
If any of the above mentioned ones falters then there are 3 talented young one's can land ANYWHERE in the podium:
-Julia Lipnitskaya
-Gracie Gold
-Adelina Sotnikova
in the given order.
Gracie Gold has skated like a CHAMPION of any kind of competition in the US Championships.
Julia also skated like a CHAMPION of any kind of competition in the Euro.
