Here are some general predictions threads from the beginning of the 2014-15 season. Can you find a prediction you made? And was it right or wrong?
We are officially in the 'off-season' for major figure skating events so I thought this might be a fun way to pass the time.

In Worlds Predictions, I said a Bronze for American men, but I was wrong. --Though close, as Brown came in 4th.

Though, I did say that Rika Hongo could get 6th at Worlds and was right about that! Probably the only accurate prediction I've ever made. http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sh...-you-place-her-at-Worlds&highlight=Rika+Hongo

In Worlds Predictions, I was one of only two people who won 'gold' in the Ladies... and if I had to pick one set of predictions to get correct all season, that would have been it! :biggrin:

WTT prediction results are not in yet, but proud of my Ladies choices there as they were very accurate (though with the lineup at WTT, I think many people will do well in their predictions across most disciplines...)

I only made predictions for Worlds and WTT this season (so not much "looking back" to do) but in those I kept expecting the Russian men to bring their A-game :hopelessness:.

That was my mistake as well, especially at WTT... cost me major points in both Team and Men categories. :bang:

For more unofficial/informal predictions, I did predict on page 1 of the WTT Ladies SP thread that Liza would fall on her 3A. :slink:

Well, Vornov did a great FS. -It's just that Vornov's A-game may be just a bit lower than other peoples' A-game...components-wise. I was super impressed with his Free Skate at WTT.

Yep, loved Voronov's FS at WTT and he got a new PB out of it!

Even as a fan, I overestimated Jason during the GP and then underestimated him during the second half of the season. Not good when he tends to be a late-season peaker, LOL.

Here's one from the "Highs and Lows" thread that I (almost!) got right:

The unforgettable moment of the season will be Joshua reaching out towards the roof on one knee, as the crowd of Greensboro rises in a thunderous standing ovation to celebrate two perfect performances, while simultaneously weeping from the emotional ride he's taken them on.


Hey, a girl can dream, right?

To answer the question in the thread title: Not. Even. A. Little. Bit. :biggrin:

But it made for an exciting season!

Every time I bet on my favourites, they messed up. So, for the latter half of the season, I just bet against everyone and hoped I was wrong.

More importantly: I think we need a new Crazy Predictions thread!
