Trophee Eric Bombard Predictions

I'm really terrible with predictions...but I won't let that stop me from giving it a shot. ;-)

1. Miki Ando
2. Kimmie Meissner
3. Joannie Rochette
4. Yu-Na Kim
5. Susanna Poykio



"Her body is long and extended and
her lines are fabuous-she has
long legs and arms. With a body
like this, she has great potential.
I think she will have a really
exotic personality and style
that she will soon grow into."

Choreographer Lea Ann Miller on Miki Ando -2003


I'm predicting Miki to win not just because she's in phenomenal shape right now, but also because she has the ability to rack up a nice sized lead if she skates a clean short program. Based on their steady long program performances at their first Grand Prixs, I'm going with Kimmie for silver and Joannie for bronze. I really love Yu-Na's skating a lot. I'd love to see her medal but I'm not sure she's completely competition ready yet. Though I think she may be on perfect pace to peak just in time for Worlds. Susanna is another skater I really love, and I'm predicting she'll skate respectably to place fifth.
