Good for Emily but I don't think that will get her on the podium.Well Emily did say she was working on a 3/3 for Worlds.

You mean Kimmie, I take it? Emily does need a 3/3 for podium. You think Kimmie will beat Mao's 3 Axel without one? :think:she doesn't really need it any more, IMO
Good point, RD. There are LP skaters and SP skaters. I think Kimmie and Evan have a hard time in the SP. I think Joannie and Emily have a hard time in the LP.The key for Kimmie is the SHORT program. This is where Mao (and Yu-na, and Miki) can put some distance between them. If she botches up the short then it's that many more points to make up in the free. But I think she'll get a medal of SOME color.

Yes, in Japan this season. She's gotten 130 and 140 points for her FS. Sure, Kimmie can get on the podium but she can't beat Mao's triple A if she doesn't have one herself.has she [Asada] landed it in competition?
Hi Satorare - Have no problem with your opinions but please elucidate on how much power the USFS has over the Japanese and Canadian judges. There is only one US judge in the competition.Ladies
Meissner's PCS at 4CC shows apparent desperation of the US(FSA) to grab a medal, and they have enough polical resources to push Kim aside.
Anyway, she must be extemely luck to win this time.

Lysacek has a chance for a silver or bronze. Again, the US will put huge pressure on the judges to ratify his underrotated quad.
Dance & Pairs
Their country doesn't have resources to spare for them.
I think Mao is 2 for 4 in landing the 3A in major competitions this year. Kimmie is 0 for 1.If Mao does land her 3A and Kimmie is hungry enough for that repeat title to attempt one herself... and if she manages to land it

ISU just can't afford to offend the biggest sponsor.
