GF2445 · Nov 4, 2014

Ok. I really choked last round. I probably won't make the top 10 anymore but oh well

Men- There are so many skaters in this list who I can't count on to deliver 100%
1. Yuzuru Hanyu JPN
2. Nam Nguyen CAN
3. Maxim Kovtun RUS
4. Han Yan CHN
5. Richard Dornbush USA
ALT. Jin Seo Kim KOR

Ladies'-I hope the Tuk-meister still has steam. Have no idea how Lipnitskaia is going to go this season but I am confident that Edmunds will be consistant.
1. Elizaveta Tuktamysheva RUS
2. Polina Edmunds USA
3. Julia Lipnitskaia RUS
4. Kanako Murakami JPN
5. Ashley Cain USA
ALT. Christina Gao USA

Pairs- It's odd for me to keep the Russians off the pairs list but the top 5 teams have always scored better than the two russian teams who are competing. Is it going to be a clean sweep for China??
1. Cheng Peng & Hao Zhang CHN
2. Xuehan Wang & Lei Wang CHN
3. Xiaoyu Yu & Yang Jin CHN
4. Jessica Calalang & Zack Sidhu USA
5. Nicole Della Monica & Matteo Guarise ITA
ALT. Natasha Purich & Andrew Wolfe CAN

Ice Dance- World Champs have their debut outing. The Shib Sibs and our new favourite french team need to move up. Also, the state of Russian Ice Dance will be seen in it's full entirety this weekend.
1. Anna Cappellini & Luca Lanotte ITA
2. Maia Shibutani & Alex Shibutani USA
3. Gabriella Papadakis & Guillaume Cizeron FRA
4. Elena Ilinykh & Ruslan Zhiganshin RUS
5. Alexandra Paul & Mitchell Islam CAN

That's optimistic.

I would be glad of course, but I think it's too early for them.
I think the french will get the bronze.

Though at the slightest hint of problems from HANYU or surprised strength from someone else and this may change. I have want to vote for someone else just to be the weird wildcard.

I may switch my ladies one and two as well.

I'm not alone in my optimism though. But great, now you're making me doubt my predictions! :laugh:

Last time that happened, I moved Adam Rippon into my top 5, and look what happened there... :slink:

Sorry.

No leave it. Maybe coming from you it's going to be a good omen.

Well, fingers crossed for them... Not only do I want them to succeed, I'm now invested because I staked my points on it. :slink:

Always stick to your gut feeling. I had a gut feeling Stephen Carriere would do well, but somehow I went with my brain.....regret!

Alba · Nov 4, 2014

Mrs.P is right. Always stick to your guts.

I don't know who said this but he/she was right: Your brain can play tricks, and your heart can be blind, but your gut is always right.

And I also predict that I/Z and P/C will be the closest margin of podium to non-podium in the entire competition.

Crossing my fingers - I've got so many favorites debuting or facing stiff competition. But I definitely followed my gut this time (go Anne Line, go!)

Unfortunately, my gut also told me Kozuka would medal at Skate Canada. :no: Granted, my ultimate "brain" prediction, with Rippon in the top 5, panned out just as badly.
