Wow! Senior GP getting underway already!

With the ladies, there was no way that I was not going to put Queen Mao on top. I don’t care that her absolute PB dates back to World 2014, or that Ashley’s absolute PB from 2015 US Nationals is 5 points higher. I have faith in Mao.

Given that she was highest on the absolute PB list, I felt obliged to put Ashley in 2nd.

Gracie was a comfortable 3rd on the absolute PB list. But, I decided to take a chance and put somebody else on the podium. Somebody that has been impressing me recently. Gabby Daleman.

I put Gracie next.

Kana was 4th on the absolute PB list. I like Kana. But, with her absolute PB dating way back to 2013 Japanese Nationals, I reluctantly had to push her down. But, bearing in mind how much I regretted pushing her down last season, I didn’t push her down as far this time. Just to 6th position.

Instead, I put her fellow countrywoman in 5th. Now, I know Mai Mihara beat Gabby Daleman at the Nebelhorn a few weeks ago. Hey, that’s where Mai set her absolute PB! But, this is Mai’s Senior GP debut. And because of that, I decided to be cautious with her. But, I will probably put her higher next time.

I kept the rest in absolute PBN order. And I have to be honest, it pained me seeing most of them outside my Top 6. I would have loved to put nearly all of them in my Top 6!

There are just too many skaters in this field that I like!

It was a similar problem with the Men. Too many strong skaters.

Although, funnily enough, it was a pretty straightforward decision. My Top 4 actually agreed with the Top 4 on the absolute PB list. It was the 3 skaters that came next that I was torn over. I have never been a big Kovtun fan, whereas I am a Voronov fan. So, I was always putting Sergei above Max. But, the problem was where to put Nam Nguyen in relation to them.

My initial intention was to put Nam in front. But then I saw the absolute PB scores, and realised that his was about 15 points lower than the two Russians. That is quite a lot. But, all these absolute PB scores are getting quite distant. So, I looked at their scores from the past 2 seasons. And Kovtun’s best score was a good 20 points out in front, with Voronov next and Nguyen a few points behind.

So, that settled it. Nam was going behind Voronov. And then Kovtun.

The rest were kept in absolute PB order. Sorry karne! (Hope Brendan finishes higher!)

The Pairs were a different kettle of fish. The field is not as strong as I would have expected compared to the other categories.

On the whole, I was pretty happy with the absolute PB order. The only thing that troubled me were the two couples that were in the silver and bronze medal positions – Kayne / O’Shea and Seguin / Bilodeau.

I like Tarrah and Danny. But, their score from last year’s US Nationals was a monster score compared to anything else they have ever got. It is around 30 points more than their next 2 highest scores, which were from last year’s Four Continents and Cup of Russia. Which makes you wonder about whether they can replicate it. And using the higher of these scores (4CC) would put them as far down as 7th out of the 8 couples.

This is a major difference. So, rather than push them so far down, I decided that the fairest way to do it was to place them in the middle, just in front of the couple that finished second to them in US Nationals, Denney / Frazier.

I don’t know. I’m still not totally convinced by Julianne and Charlie. But they are now regularly getting above the 200 point mark. And their second highest score was set only 3 weeks ago. So I guess they should up there.

The problem is that I like the couple that were next on the list, Astakhova / Rogonov. And I would be more inclined to put them into 2nd. Except that last year’s Nationals is the only time that I can find that they have broken the 200 point mark. And their only score from this season (the Finlandia 2 weeks ago) was less than 170.

So, I guess there is no contest. The Canadians it is.

The remaining decision was who to have as my alternate. I was learning towards Marchei / Hotarek, because James / Cipres have been pretty disappointing the past couple of seasons. But then I noticed that Vanessa and Morgan set a new absolute PB 3 weeks ago. And it was a full 18 points higher than the absolute PB from the Italians.

When it came to Ice Dance, the absolute PB order for the Top 5 was the order I wanted. The problem was, the couple I wanted to have as my alternate (Agafanova / Uçar) were down in 8th position. And their absolute PB was nearly 10 points lower than the couple in 6th (Tobias / Tkachenko). And I like both couples!

Sod it. I’m going with Alisa and Alper!
