Who will medal at Euros?
If Carolina shows up she wins. Silver and bronze to Russians, I will guess Leonova and Tuktamysheva.
I love Elizaveta so voted for her.

I voted for Tuktamysheva, Kostner and Korpi. Is Lipnitskaia not eligible for Euros?
Tuk !!!
then Kostner and Kiira
Kostner, Tuk and Korpi (in any order)
Nothing is definite... this is just an "absurdly early" poll, after all!
Due to her knee injury, Yrétha Silété was not planning to be back on the ice before January 2013, according to this article from mid-September: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/artic...&vkey=ice_news
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isn’t every four years, it’s every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
Since skating anything like she did last year, she crushes everyone on this list. If she is a bit down from last year she still beats everyone on this list unless Lipnitskaya regains her early season/last season form 100%. She also has a history of delivering at Europeans even in her headcase years past.
Lipnitskaya cant compete though she's too young
about Caro she's not a guaranteed Gold, she can medal but it will be her first start from returning to competition from her brief break
Tuk, Kiira, Kostner are gold contenders
some other inconsistent skaters might podium as well like Elene, Sotnikova, Leonova, Helgesson
Sorry forgot for a moment about Julia L. I was thinking for a moment the age rule only applied to Worlds and Olympics.
I agree Caro is not guaranteed gold I guess, but she will have to show up in really bad shape and skate poorly to lose in this field, which is not a very good one. The best skaters at the moment are clearly Wagner, Asada, probably Kostner (pending how she looks here), Suzuki, and once she returns nearly certainly Kim. The young Russians are very much works in progress at this point, and even Korpi's better LPs dont score big.
Liza skated very well at her most recent GP, and she narrowly missed the podium in her first GP back from injury. If she continues to improve, she could be a gold contender at the Euros.
So, Kostner will make her debut at Euros? Isn't Italian Nats in December??
Carolina Kostner and Kiira Korpii are shoe-ins.
I love Elene Gedevanishvilli's programs this year. I can only hope that she skates superbly at 4CC and falter at Worlds (so other countries can get multiple spots for the Olympics XD). Mean but strategic
