NHK Predictions
1) Mao Asada JPN
2) Fumie Suguri JPN
3) Yukari Nakano JPN
4) Beatrisa Liang USA
5) Arina Martinova RUS
6) Christine Zukowski USA
Mao Asada may have struggled with her long program at Skate America but she’s simply too talented and complete a skater to not win a Grand Prix title this season. Equipped with hands down the strongest short program of the season, she should be able to pull out a win in her home country. Fumie and Yukari, both coming off of silver GP performances of varying calibers, should easily earn medals in a somewhat anemic field. Look for the two American skaters and Russia’s lone representative to round out the top six.
