I would love for Emily Hughes to be really on top and land a triple-triple. I hope that she doesn't underrotate her jumps and I hope that she has improved a lot.

And I hope that she beats out Kimmy Miessner and places above her. I really don't like Meissner even though she's really consistent with her jumps.

I find Meissner to be a bit boring.

I'm curious as to why everyone thinks the French, Pechelat and Bourzat are going to beat the Italiens, Faeilla/ Scalli. F/S beat P/B by several places at last year's worlds, if I recall correctly.

Asada and Kim Yu na are not competiting at Skate America.

Honestly a part of me thought that Ando was going to win this, but if she's really in as bad of shape as people are saying who knows, Zhang could take Skate America...

2-Asada
3-Zhang

You're predicting MAI Asada to come in second? No way. I love her graceful style, but she doesn't have hard triples or combos. I think she'll be lucky to come in 5th.

 

[goldenskates]

it would be great if Emily hughes came in second.
