Let the fun begin!!!

CaroLiza_fan

I try only the ladies, for the beginning. It is quite an open situation, with a few juniors that switched to seniors. It is difficult to asses, but this is a game so:
1. Kaetlyn Osmond
2. Gabrielle Daleman
3. Alaine Chartrand
4. Aurora Cotop
5. Michelle Long
6. Larkyn Austman

If Aurora can do all the jumps she may surpass Alaine, provided Alaine makes mistakes. I love both skaters, so I really hope both skate very well. I would say that even second place is not so sure, but I have no idea how good Gabrielle is right now.

Men:

1. Patrick Chan
2. Nicolas Nadeau
3. Kevin Reynolds
4. Steven Gogolev
5. Keegan Messing
6. Roman Sadovsky

Dance:
1. Virtue/Moir
2. Weaver/Poje
3. Gilles/Poirier
4. Soucisse/Firus
5. Sales/Wamsteeker
6. Arnold/Williams

Pairs:
1. Duhamel/Radford
2. Ilyushechkina/Moscovitch
3. Seguin/Bilodeau
4. Moore-Towers/Marinaro
5. Ruest/Wolfe
6. Walsh/Michaud

women

1) Kaetlyn Osmond-
2) Gabriella Daleman- i hope she does win.
3) Alaine Chartrand

i hope Gabriella would win, but give the edge to Kaetlyn for Gpf medal as well as the past 2014 OTT silver medal.

men

1) Patrick Chan
2) Kevin Reyonlds
Nam Nguyen
Keegan Messing

pairs

1) Duhmael/Radford
2) Julie Seguin/Charlie Bildoeau
3)Lubov Ilyushechkina/Dylan Moscovitch

dance

1) Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir
2) Kaitlyn Weaver/Andrew Poje
3) Piper Gillers/Paul Poirer

Dance is a given:

1) Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir
2) Kaitlyn Weaver/Andrew Poje
3) Piper Gillers/Paul Poirer
4)Carolanne Soucisse /Shane Firus ( they have been improving each time out so they may actually pull up close to G/P here!

Ladies also I think will be a given:

1) Kaetlyn Osmond-
2) Gabriella Daleman
3) Alaine Chartrand
4) Larkyn Austman

Larkyn is showing some promise in her videos but I don't think she will be able to keep it together enough to move ahead of Alaine - but if it is close between these two they may decide to have a skate off at 44CC which would go to Alaine because of her experience.

Pairs and Men are going to be close ones. Even if you look at the Season's Best list there is not much between the top 4 scores for of the top contenders. In men Firus and Messing are basically tied but I would give the nod to Firus because his score came in a US event and not one at home. In Pairs too there is only 1.5 points between #2-4 on the Season's Best list!

Men:

1) Patrick Chan ( Patrick will be way ahead after the short - but not sure he will win the Free - but will stay 1st overall!)
2) Liam Firus ( Because he usually skates his best at Nationals)
3) Keegan Messing
4) Nam Nguyen - think he will get the nod to go to the Olympics (to prepare him for the next ones) and they may have a skate off at 4cc for the 3rd spot between Firus and Messing

Pairs:

1) Duhmael/Radford - by a long shot

2) Kirsten Moore-Towers /Michael Marinaro ( They have showed more consistent improvements this season)
3) Julie Seguin/Charlie Bildoeau
4)Lubov Ilyushechkina/Dylan Moscovitch ( They have not been skating strong so far this season but they usually do get better as the year goes along)

Think S/B will get sent to the Olympics in prep for the next ones as long as they are in the top 4 here, and that they may have a skate off between the other 2 at 4CC.

The stakes at Nationals are so different this year - so many different options being played out since we have the Olympic, 4CC and then World entries to consider. Really think it is going to play havoc with the also rans vying for places 4-6 in each. A skater back in 10th place after the short can still be in the running for a placement that would see them going to 4CC or even worlds if they skate a strong free and move up in the top 6. Cause if some of our top skaters do medal at the Olympics they may opt out of worlds.

First crack at this predictions lark – let’s see how badly I can butcher it…

The winners of 3 events I believe are pretty much a given so long as the skaters show up and are on the ice for the duration of their music. Ladies, however, has the potential to pan out very differently and I think might be an unpredictable discipline at this year’s nationals.

I will be sad to see skaters retire after this year, so I want to add a thank you for the wonderful skating and programs you’ve etched that I’ve been able to enjoy over the years. Tessa/Scott, I’m glad you returned. Patrick, I wish that you will skate both programs to their potential for brilliance here at nationals and at Olympics.

In the end, I wish that all skaters perform to the best of their ability, achieving their personal goal of excellence.
