Yippie!!!! Anna is doing the Trophée Éric Bompard!!!

You know, I had seen a photo she had put up on Facebook last week, with the caption:

“At 7 a.m. on the ice getting ready for Grand Prix in France”​

Now, I just assumed that meant she had just popped over the border to France for some training ahead of her Senior GP debut at the NHK Trophy. It didn’t cross my mind that it meant that she was now doing the TEB as well.

Oh boys, but that has now put me in an awkward position! How on earth am I supposed to be objective with my predictions?! :hopelessness:


Although I am currently on the Men’s podium, I am not at all sure about that category this week. I know a fully fit Yan Han would be capable of challenging for a podium. But, after what happened in Shanghai, I have put him in as my alternate, as I am still not totally convinced that he should be skating at all.

So, my predictions may change depending on any more updates on his health between now and Friday.

I predict a breakdown moment for Kovtun, and a 'wuzrobbed' moment for Dornbush. Let's see how accurate my instincts are...

Ich auch. Trotz allerdem glaube ich an sie....Sorry guys for Deutsch. Just shared my blind trust in Julia. It cost me dearly twice with Artur but although highly unlikely there are still minuscule chances that this trust will bring her some extra power. Let the force be with you, Yulia!

Some last minute switcheroos based on gut feelings Of course my gut feelings the last two events have been pretty disastrous, but it's only a game. I can always look into getting a new gut! LOLOLOL!

No one has Adam Rippon in a top spot. I'm going out on a limb and say he will place on the podium!

I really, really hope you're right!!!

 

[Sackie]

I can see Hubbell/Donohue finishing above Gillis/Poirier here. H/D have a habit of taking a big jump in marks with each event while G/P not so much. Think H/D will score high enough here to break a tiebreaker between the two and come out on top. Think P/C will win here and it won't even be close. Fell like P/C are on their way to a top 5 finish at worlds. They seem to be the best chance to break up a NA Podium at the GPF!
