Who Do You Think Will Have Breakout Season Among Youngsters?

Tursynbaeva needs a growth spurt to make her not look so Junior and give her more power and presence on the ice. Satoko suffers from the same thing she still looks 13 with how small she still is.
 
It's fun to look back at our pre-season predictions...these were mine :) How did you do? Layback11, do you still think Evgenia has NO artistry? ;)

I don't follow ladies too much, but I think Evgenia for sure. Elizabet, Karen, and Angelina have a lot of talent, but I feel like they might have a tougher time breaking through right away. Not sure about the others.

Men:

Adian - I think he's bound to have a much better season than the last one. It seems like everyone who saw him skate in Sochi was blown away by how much he has grown.

Nam - to me, he's already sort of broken through with a GP medal & national champ. title, top 5 at Worlds...we'll see if the momentum continues.

Moris - is already 20 years old and not very stable, although I think he has improved somewhat, if the test skates are any indication. I don't rate his prospects too high, but I see him as a more likeable version of Kovtun, so I hope he just makes some progress and is able to stick around awhile.

Shoma - will probably do ok, not 100% convinced that he is going to be consistent, though.

Alexander Petrov - who knows. Probably a similar season to Adian's last year. I read some comments on FSO from Russian fans who were in Sochi & the consensus seemed to be that he still seems very juniorish.

Boyang - even if his TES is crazy high and he lands everything, I think his PCS will still hold him back for awhile, but could be a surprise.

June - I'll put him in the Petrov category...who knows. I don't expect a breakthrough, not yet anyway.

Haha, no. She's grown on me a TON this season and I really respect how much her style has matured. :yes:
