This field feels like a huge gathering of inconsitency LOL: Kanako, Mao, Kiira, Karolina, Ashley and Rachael all have the potential to medal, but only Asada is able to do it wih flawed performance.. All the others will have to bring their A game.
My prediction:
01. Asada
02. Korpi
03. Murakami
IMO Mao is the leader of the pack in terms of overall talent when she is on. Lets hope her jumps don't fail her.
There is a poll over in the Trash Can about which ladies will medal at NHK. Here is where we stand in order of votes.
Mao Asada …….....….. 145 ……. 85.80%
Rachael Flatt ….....….. 85 ……. 50.30%
Ashley Wagner …....... 72 ……. 42.60%
Kiira Korpi ….......………. 57 ……. 33.73%
Kanako Murakami …..… 50 ….…. 29.59%
Carolina Costner …..…. 42 ….…. 24.85%
Caroline Zhang ….....… 14 ….…. 8.28%
Elene Gedevanishvili ….. 4 ….…. 2.37%
Lena Marrocco …….....… 2 ….…. 1.18%
Dianne Szmiett ….………. 1 ….…. 0.59%
Jenna McCorkell …....…. 1 ….…. 0.59%
Viktoria Helgesson ….... 1 ….…. 0.59%
