Judges love Kostner and Korpi. We must know it.Korpi overscored as usual.

Also, I'd consider Gracie one of the PCS beauty queens. She's gorgeous
good luck to the FS I think
Gold for sure will medal, also Korpii maybe Leonova
Zawadzki and Murakami ( w/ her UR) depends if they don't crumble on their FS
non factors for a medal
Helgesson, Sotnikova, Zhang, Marchei and Polina K.
Because Adelina is going up against skaters known for skating clean long programs, such as Korpi and Zawadzki. She has a shot.

The scores are very close! Only 5.38 points separates 1st from 6th so this competition is far from over.
Good to see Gracie appears to have gotten over her first time jitters The downside to doing so well is she's leading heading into the FS and we all know that's a tough place to be in. Hopefully she'll maintain her focus and skate well.
Kiira seems to be overscored given her content but her PCS made up the difference. She's Kiira so that's to be expected. The judges freakin love her...
Good job for Agnes too. Glad to see her hit all of her jumps! She's right in the medal hunt but her problem has always been the FS, not the SP...
Alena seems to have bounced back somewhat. She can be a fighter so if she comes out strong in the FS she has a chance to win this thing.
Adelina just can't get it together...it's so frustrating! Again, even with the miss on the jump she's still within gold medal range if delivers in the FS. She has another 3-3 plus a 2a-3t and with the rest of her skills plus home field scoring, a strong skate from her will probably land her on the podium.
Kanako...what's going on with those damn URs? She's gotta get that under control and fast...
This one is far from over and it's still anyone's game. Gracie is untested as a leader going into the FS...more than a fair share tend to fall apart under the pressure of leading and skating last so this is a huge test for her. Kiira isn't a strong FS skater...she's been pretty weak in the FS lately. Agnes is known for imploding in the FS a bit. Alena has been known to put together a good FS every now and then but she's still struggling a bit. Adelina can make up a lot of ground in her FS if she can hit on most of her jumps. I don't know what's going on with Kanako but if she can clean up a few of those URs the strength of her program should help her move up...
I have no idea who is going to win this one...
As I remember, at summer competitions Gracie sometimes skated SP good and FS not so good. So no warranty.Gracie and MAYBE Kiira have very strong shots at the podium.
BAM! You go @GraceEGold!!!
Go @agneszawadzki!!! *cha ching*
@agneszawadzki @GraceEGold Nailed it #COR2012
YAAAAAAAY!! I am so happy with that skate!!! Thanks to everyone who kept supporting and believing in me! Long program tomorrow! #CupofRussia
Zawadzki might crumble but Korpi even with poor jumps in her FS , she is a BEAUTY PCS and will still score high
Korpi is an almost sure lock for a podium with Gracie , remember Gracie at SC was a fluke for her other than that she never lost a competition other than SC
that leaves open 1 spot for a podium
Kanako not sure with her UR, and Adelina I am 100% sure will make mistakes in FS

Kiira has "right to make mistake", in China she made three jumps of 1 turn (two of them - at the place of triples) in FS, and became third at final result, being fourth after SP.
All others (who pretend on medal) have no right to make serious mistake.

Actually, Gracie lost the new US International Figure Skating Classic earlier this season (Senior B)....to Agnes Zawadski!
It's a shame that so many of you choose to paint yourselves into a corner with those old "Korpi beauty PCS" cracks. If you bothered to find out why she keeps getting those marks from a wide range of judges who certainly have different opinions on her beauty and its relevance, you might learn something.
