Verner did the Olympic gold medalist program at COR. He is doing what worked to win Olympic Gold. Kozuka got 89 in tech at Cup of France and Verner got 77ish when it wasn't clean. Takahashi and Chan have also got 80 plus. Clean I think Verner could get to over 80 with his quadless for progress, regress for success method which also won Olympic gold.
I was more thinking, Tomas has pretty competitive PCS, he got 78 for his FS in Russia and that's right about what the other men usually get, apart from Chan and Takahashi who just have 80+ for PCS every time. Realistically I don't think he will win, I just meant it would be cool if he somehow managed to, and after what happened last year, where both Lysacek and Weir were on the podium and neither did any quads, and Takahashi ended up all the way down in 5th, you never know what could happen. I tend to think he'll end up placing somewhere between 3rd and 5th, but I do think 3rd is not entirely out of the question, especially considering Chan, Takahashi, and Oda - the medal favorites, have been making lots of errors so far this season.
