Cup of China: Predictions Game Round 5

[silverfoxes]

He is still on the entry list...is he going to be replaced or is it just 10 men? (If so, ugh.)

There are 11 men. Runqi Liu replaced He Zhang, but Murakami was not replaced.

[Tavi...]

Well...this is a nightmare to predict...Ladies especially...
LADIES: Definitely the deepest, most unpredictable field in the GP series for the ladies. Ashley is a frontrunner because of her World medal, but her URs could cost her. The ladies in my 1-8 are all capable of medalling.

1. Ashley WAGNER (USA)
2. Kaetlyn OSMOND (CAN)
3. Elena RADIONOVA (RUS)
4. Mai MIHARA (JPN)
5. Elizaveta TUKTAMYSHEVA (RUS)
6. Courtney HICKS (USA)
7. Zijun LI (CHN)
8. Rika HONGO (JPN)
9. Karen CHEN (USA)
10. Joshi HELGESSON (SWE)
11. Ziquan ZHAO (CHN)
12. Xiangning LI (CHN)

MEN:
Taking a risk here and putting Chan above Boyang (in part because I want Adam to go to the GPF). Putting Boyang 1st would be assuming that he has got all of his jumps back after his lackluster Skate America. If Patrick misses jumps, he's at least got PCS to save him. Also, I'm hoping Voronov, my favorite Russian man, can ride the wave from Skate America; his jumps are so fun to watch, and I love his programs this year. For 5th, its sort of going to be luck of the draw. We could see Yan Han on the podium, or we could see total meltdown from him. Since we've yet to see a clean performance from him this season, I'm not going to risk it.

1. Patrick CHAN (CAN)
2. Boyang JIN (CHN)
3. Sergei VORONOV (RUS)
4. Max AARON (USA)
5. Daniel SAMOHIN (ISR)
6. Michal Brezina (CZE)
7. Han YAN (CHN)
8. Maxim KOVTUN (RUS)
9. Alexander PETROV (RUS)
10. Ross MINER (USA)
11. Runqi LIU (CHN)

DANCE:
Even dance is unpredictable here Honestly after 1 and 2 (which aren't even a lock), 3 and 4 could go either way, and 5-8 could go anyway.

1. Maia SHIBUTANI / Alex SHIBUTANI (USA)
2. Kaitlyn WEAVER / Andrew POJE (CAN)
3. Victoria SINITSINA / Nikita KATSALAPOV (RUS)
4. Alexandra STEPANOVA / Ivan BUKIN (RUS)
5. Natalia KALISZEK / Maksym SPODYRIEV (POL)
6. Alexandra PAUL / Mitchell ISLAM (CAN)
7. Anastasia CANNUSCIO / Colin MCMANUS (USA)
8. Shiyue WANG / Xinyu LIU (CHN)
9. Hong CHEN / Yan ZHAO (CHN)
10. Linshu SONG / Zhuoming SUN (CHN)

PAIRS:
Nobody knows anything about Peng/Jin so I'm putting them in the safest position I can think of. I really enjoyed Wang/Wang towards the end of last year, so I'm hoping that they have improved even more technically since then. Kavaguti and Smirnov did not look good at Skate Canada--unfortunately I don't see their problems being fixed over the course of a month either. I debated whether to put them in 5th or D/G, but I went with K/S since they have the clear PCS edge.

1. Xiaoyu YU / Hao ZHANG (CHN)
2. Lubov ILIUSHECHKINA / Dylan MOSCOVITCH (CAN)
3. Cheng PENG / Yang JIN (CHN)
4. Xuehan WANG / Lei WANG (CHN)
5. Yuko KAVAGUTI / Alexander SMIRNOV (RUS)
6. Nicole DELLA MONICA / Matteo GUARISE (ITA)
7. Jessica PFUND / Joshua SANTILLAN (USA)
8. Mari VARTMANN / Ruben BLOMMAERT (GER)

Even if Patrick wins, Adam isn't guaranteed a GPF spot, although he will still be in the running. It depends on what happens at NHK.

I know, but if Jin wins, its pretty much a definite out.
