2015 Four Continents Championships: Predictions Game Round 3

[CaroLiza_fan]

By the way, I have replaced the entry lists for the Men's and Pairs categories with their SP starting orders in the original post in this thread.

And Dance (I forgot we had 3 categories starting tomorrow!)

I'll definitely not be up for the Short Dance. But I'm planning on getting up early for the Pairs and Men. So, fingers crossed that we will have a working stream!

Oh no Denis is last? Sigh.... I am happy Misha has such a late slot, but... Denis.... hwell:

Yeah, Denis is one of those skaters that the pressure can get to. So, going last is far from ideal.

But, he might surprise us!

anyone knows the deadline?

 

[sabinfire]

anyone knows the deadline?

About 10 minutes left... hurry!

 

[sunnystars]

About 10 minutes left... hurry!

too much amazing skaters, so little time to decide!

thanks btw!

update: k I'm done with my predictions, expecially with the men :hopelessness:

 

[satine]

Yeah, Denis is one of those skaters that the pressure can get to. So, going last is far from ideal.

But, he might surprise us!

CaroLiza_fan

I hope so. Especially since he will be defying the numbers- Wiki says 190/192 medalists are from USA, Canada, Japan, or China

 

[sabinfire]

I always approach these predictions threads a little like I approach gambling... I just go all-in on the riskiest choices. I've got Denis Ten at #2, but I have absolutely zero faith in his ability to deliver when it really matters. And Adam Rippon at #1 on a lark, since the chances of him repeating (or beating) his Greensboro performance is slim to none... but I'll be watching, waiting, and hoping...

 

[gopatrick]

Notes for my prediction this round:
1. Denis Ten got his Worlds and Olympic medals already, so he's out to collect other medals/titles this season.
2. I hope the judges would appreciate Paul/Islam's skating skills more, they deserve more than what they were getting. Hopefully they can maintain their focus through out their programs
3. Last but not least, I have mixed feelings towards Pang/Tong. Watched them for so many years, as much as I like to see them to skate as one, I could expect transitions would be taken out of their LP, left with big elements+crossovers+pretty recycled moves/poses.

Just a reminder: Jeremy Ten (CAN) and Denis Ten (KAZ) are both going to be competing at 4CC, so be sure to specify which skater you all have in your predictions. It will make things a lot easier for the scorers! :yes:

Oops! I'm one of those folks who completely forgot about Jeremy Ten going too, and wrote just 'Ten' meaning Denis... I only saw this reminder now, and since CC has started, I cannot edit my prediction. What do I do?

 

[satine]

I think it's a discounted prediction, unfortunately At least, that has been the case when other unclear predictions have been posted. Sorry.

I also messed this up :/ I meant Dennis but will get zero points now I guess. Ah well such is life...

 

[invisiblespiral]

Okay, I also forgot Jeremy Ten existed.... so I now have a zero in men! Yay!

 

[Li'Kitsu]

Haha, I forgot to add that I meant Denis too! I even said I meant the one who finished 4th at 4CC last season, but I guess a miss is a miss... I predicted him in 5th anyway, so maybe it's not even making things worse then they are anyway

 

[surimi]

Aww, too bad then. But with my luck in Men's event so far, at least the score will fit right in with the rest of my guesses.

 

[Florencito]

Perfect score in Ice Dance and a perfect 0 in Men

 

[Poice]

Perfect score in Ice Dance and a perfect 0 in Men

The same here

 

[lighthouse]

I think there are going to be a lot of gold medals in ice dance this time!
