Predictions

[Eris]

but Alissa and Mao do!

I've read that Mao paractically didn't attempt jumps and Alissa's jumps were not so successful.

Practice reports say Mirai doesnt look good

Might be the opposite of COC, because remember Frank said that Mirai looked amazing in warm-up and practice, but bombed the competition, so maybe she'll skate really well now? *crosses fingers*

I feel like I always read that Alissa's practices look good. And then... :sheesh:

Given the unpredictability of the ladies field, I wonder if Lena Marrocco can medal? She is super cute and seems to be on the upswing this season, and her spins are already fantastic!

Who's she? :

Who's she? :

French, 15, tiny, brown hair, gorgeous cat shaped eyes. She just won the Ice Challenge in Graz.

MEN
Joubert
Reynolds
Kozuka

As same as past two years, Joubert makes GPF with 4th + 1st. Kozuka's clean quad is yet to be achieved. Kevin Reynolds lands 2 3A's and scores around 225.

LADIES
Asada
Nagasu
Korpi

For Mao, it's win or off the podium. I can't imagine her to place 2nd or 3rd in this field. Nagasu's chance depends on avoiding the first place after the SP. Don't ask too much. As I posted before, it's extremely exceptional to win a gold for the first GP medal. Korpi will medal with unworthy performances. Imai is the "real" bronze medalist.

Thanks! She's cute and her spins are pretty good. I wonder what level she got for her footwork though. Seems like a lot of slow two-footed skating and some shimy-shaying in place. I think if she medals it will mean quite a few much better skaters fell apart, but it will be interesting to see how Lena develops.

I m going to TEB tommorow with the old gang from here and very excited, as far as I m concerned, imaginary I m already in paris

Have fun you and the gang! I am sure we'll get some nice reports

Mao wins this ... pleeease skate well :yay:
Mirai and Haruka second and third.

Mao's jumps look good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwFGbVZmVSs

(of course, these are only the successful ones, and I'm sure she isn't yet consistent with them, but they do look good!)
