Wow there are so many skaters I want to do well. Medvedeva to do a come back, Honda to do that gorgeous FS justice and make Raff proud, Bradie to show us why she’s the number one US lady and Mae to wow the home crowd.
Of course Rika to make the final!
I thought NHK was a stacked field!

I am nervous to see how much Evgenia will improve.
This will be verry intresting in determining who goes to GPF. There are Kihira, Medvedeva, Konstantinova, Miahara and Tenell who all have a chance.
Miahara and Tenell needs to win to have a chance at the final. I do however not se this happening unless Kihira and Medvedeva (who I think are stronger skaters) makes mistakes.
Kihira is in the final if she places in the top 4. A podium finish will give her (30/28/26) point which is all guaranteed to get into the final. In the event when she places 4th she would win both of the two first tie breakers.
Konstantinova is guaranteed to be in the final if she is in the top 2. A third place would put her at 24pts and in the first tie breaker she would score the same as Sakamoto and Samodurova. Then it comes down to scores. Depending on who is first and second she will either need a minimum score of 213.76 to outscore Sakamoto or (which she will need if Medvedeva and Kihira is the top two or if Miahara/Tenell wins and either Kihira/Medvedeva is second) 199.15 to outscore Samodurova.
Medvedeva is guaranteeded to be in if she wins. In the case where she is second it will come down to the tie breakers. If Kihira wins she needs to score at least 198.81 to outscore Samodurova. If Kihira is third and either of the other three wins she needs to score 213.42 to outscore Sakamoto.
Most likely two of these skaters will make it, my pick would be Kihira and Medvedeva but we will have to wait and see. I hope all skates to the best of their abilities and make for a great competiton for us to watch!
Edit. Paganini is in the same situation as Miahara and Tenell a win would put her in the final. (I do however think that is verry unlikely)

Wishing the best for Zhenya (get your ticket to Vancouver girl) and Marin (be clean and show off your charm), and clean skates ladies.

This is a pretty deep field. NHK was amazing. I hope this competition will be equally impressive. Like with NHK, I am a fan of most of these skaters. I hope Rika, Evgenia, Bradie, Marin, Mai and all the other skaters have great skates. Rooting for everyone but Rika is my favorite and I want her to land her triple axel in the short program.

I am scared of this competition.
This competition is stressing me out more than my own real life problems.

The pressure is on Rika now, it's going to be interesting to see if she handles it. I want to believe she will but I also remember her junior days.

As of my posting this, the poll represents the top three options as follows:
Rika, 66.3%
Evgenia, 26.5%
Bradie, 3.6%
I was interested to see how the Predictions Game thinking differed. Here's the percentages for first-place predictions there:
Rika, 68%
Evgenia, 30%
Bradie, 2%
Seems that the forum's users are pretty consistent across polls and predictions! :thumbsup:

But there is a point in that - I will be there live and I am already nervous for this competition...I just hope all ladies will give their 110% and may the best win, with no regrets
It will be my first time seeing Evgenia, Alexia, Marin, Lea, Matilda, Mae Berenice and Mai - so I am quite excited in general
Yes. I corrected.
But Top5 at this Event are too strong, Alexia may be ahead any of them only because of their serious errors.
Btw Alexia Paganini is below only two US Ladies (Tennell and Bell) both by Season Best and GP Standing.
If not change from USA to Switzerland she could pretend to 4CC as US athlete.

Rooting for Mai but im feeling she will be in 4th again because someone has the skate of their life. #PoorGirl
USFS shouldn't have released her lol. If only they had known...
ETA: She'd also prob be getting higher PCS as a USA skater, not that her good musicality and qualities don't already warrant high numbers.

I am honestly seriously extremely worried about all the expectations on Rika! :hopelessness:
I mean, I hope she wins the whole thing, breaks WR, just go out there and slays everything! But god this is stressful!! And if I'm stressing over it imagine how Rika must be feeling!
But you know, if she wants to be a champion, there is no other way, the better she skates, the bigger the pressure gets. I hope it doesn't crush her.
Circle pray for Rika to keep herself together and not have a meltdown!
