Predictions

[siberia82]

Since Kwong has made my job easier , I'll give it a shot... I got the men's podium right at CoR (not that hard), and correctly predicted trouble for Jeremy Abbott (luckily, just in the SP).

I did notice that your predictions for the men were bang-on for CoR; I don't think many people on this board can boast about that!

siberia82, check Kwong's bio for us. Did she go to Hogwarts?

This is the closest thing I could find to a bio, but there's no mention of which school she attended, so it's quite possible she's a Hogwarts alumnus!

You waited till she published her blog, didn't you
But, if any man could break her curse this season, Oda would be the one. He will do well under the protection of his powerful ancestor Nobunaga Oda, the most famous war lord of Japan
Will he attemp a 4T-3T-3L?

Men
1. Oda
2. Weir
3. Ponsero

Ladies
1. Asada:scratch:
2. Nakano (Miss Consistency)
3. Wagner (luv her attack and presentation)

Pairs
1. Dube & Davison
2. Pang & Tong (I think they are still nursing some injury)
3. Inoue & Baldwin

Dance
1. Faiella & Scali
2. Pechalat & Bourzat (hope they will skate to their potential)
3. Samuelson & Bates (like their OD, but the FD is something from the recycle bin)

Hey, siberia, I am actually doing quite okay this timearty:
Got the Men and Dance right~

Ladies and pairs are way off: Miss Consistency has some over-training injury; the 23 yr old Suzuki fights back; Dube and Davison melt down (I am happy for Rena and John though, applause to the 32/35 couple)

3. Samuelson / Bates

Women
1. Akiko Suzuki

Pairs
That's like a really really weak field.
1. Pang / Tong
2. Dube / Davison
3. Inoue / Baldwin

Men
1. Ponsero
2. Oda
3. Weir

Okay, I didn't predict correctly who sits where on the podium - but I got all the three top finishers right - in every discipline!

At least I got the dance right . But hey, I was in the right direction with the podiums, just not the actual order... in all but the ladies' field. Some upset special that turned out to be .

Because Carriere finished off the podium, part one of my prediction for the GPF (Verner makes it) was correct; will Tomas cooperate so that the second part ("and medals there") will also come true?

at about 1:32 the report about Nobunari's practice starts. At 1.54 he lands 4T-3T-3L. :thumbsup: And two gorgeous 3A before that.

That was awesome! Nobu has a great shot at Worlds' podium even without a quad, now with the big jumps under his belt, he'll be very promising to challenge the gold.

And Tomas can go to GPF, YAY!
