In Men, this seems to be designed for Lysacek to win. It doesn't have the strong Japanese contenders who were the barriers for him the last a few years. Verner is definitely capable of beating Lysacek, but historically, he has never done it. So I will go with the most of the people here:
1. Lysacek
2. Verner
3. Mroz
1. Lysacek

I actually want her to save some energy for gpf and olympics.
so I'm fine with somewhere between 190-200. well, this is still a very remarkable score. u know?
IIRC - Verner came in ahead of Evan at the 2007 Worlds as the one time he has. That said, I think Evan's time has come.
other top ladies have to skate their *** off to score in that range.
but for Yuna it's saving energy.. haha..
and as for Sasha, you guys have to consider the fact that today's COP is not the same one from the Sasha days. e < frightening isn't it...

Looking at recent pictures and videos of Yu-Na, I will say if that girl doesn't EAT something soon, she could get too sick to skate.

I heard she doesn't eat more than 1,200 kcal a day during a season.

Noooo!!! Eat, YuNa, eat!
I think that as long as Yu-na is getting nutritional advice (and I hear she does things like it certain fruits/ lots of fish etc) 1200 day is okay, its what some women use when they are on a diet. Less than that would be more scary.

I used to hear that Yuna does not eat snack at all during competition season.
I thought she looked less skinny and her proportion started to be a woman in this past 2 years. Look at her body during 2006-2008, I
still remember the satorare guy who was banded from this board used to call her popeye's sweetheart.
She turned into refine beautiful lady in this season.
Ladies:
1. Ummmm. oh, I know. Kim!
2. Cohen (She WILL show up. She WILL put it together. I DO believe in fairies, I DO I DO.)
3. Flatt ... but really there are plenty of ladies who could also medal .. Fumie, Julia, even Alexe. this is a tough one.
Men:
1. Lycasek
2. Verner
3. Bradley. (There has be SOME moment when he holds it together. Why not this time? And he DOES have a quad...)

Don't worry, she's O.K.
I also heard that she's very cautious not to gain weight during the season, which affects the quality of her jumping. But she loves bread and ice-cream, and appeared as an model of bakery shop here, in Koea.
Actually some Yuna fans worried about her height instead...Her father is over 6 feet and very very slim while her mother is short. In one interview his father mentioned Yuna was very good at controlling her eating and her mind even when she was a kid.

1200 kcal is NOT okay for an elite athlete who spends hours in training every day burning off energy. I sincerely hope this report is not true. And I must say that Yu-Na seems pretty well-adjusted and has such a good team around her, so I can't imagine they're being irresponsible about this.
I certainly hope this is not true. An athlete of her caliber, who trains as hard as she does, needs way more than 1,200 calories a day!
My niece last year decided to go on a diet, and restricted herself to just over 1,000 calories a day. The result? At 5'4", she ended up at 76 lbs! It was a shock when she came home from college for the summer. After seeing a registered dietitian for about five months now, she's about 100 lbs, still way under her ideal weight.

hmm I don't think this is true. Even Korean fans said they never heard about this.
The fact that we don't see her becoming super skinny in a short period of time means that she's eating enough to get through her training and practice and we should not worry about anything.
It is true that she said she's watching her weight especially during the competition season. I could notice her face becoming rounder during off-seasons especially when she's staying in Korea
, meaning that she eats more during off-season. Off-seasons must be when she does most of the intense training and practice, so I'm not worried.
By the way, I notice that she's still slim but her thighs are bulkier this season. Must have done some squats.:yes::yes:
