Mmmm. I didn’t do too well in the Pairs category at the Cup of China, and I don’t think I’ll do too well in Japan either – beyond the top 4, I hadn’t a clue what order to put the Pairs skaters in!!!

The Ladies and the Men’s categories both have strong fields, and we have seen so far this season that anything can happen. I could have drawn names out of a hat (which would seem to be as effective a method as any!), but I have to be realistic as well (eg. much as I may want to see her on the podium and prove the nay-sayers wrong, Leonova ain’t going to do it). So, I have put down an order that I would be happy enough to see as the results for each category!

If all goes as expected, the Ice Dance medals could be handed out now. But, I can see the rest of the field being VERY close, so I will not be too surprised with whatever the final results turn out to be.
