Here's what I've got for ROSTELECOM CUP predictions:
MEN:
GOLD: Yuzuru Hanyu (JPN)
SILVER: Keegan Messing (CAN)
BRONZE: Mikhail Kolyada (RUS)
I wasn’t really expecting to predict Messing for another podium spot, but after looking over the field I’d say he has a very good shot at it.
EYES ON: Germany’s Paul Frentz, if only to see what he’s got up his sleeve after slaying the Twitterverse during the Winter Olympics with his Paul-Anka-Swings-“Wonderwall” SP.
LADIES:
GOLD: Alina Zagitova (RUS)
SILVER: Sofia Samodurova (RUS)
BRONZE: Mako Yamashita (JPN)
I’m looking to Japan to break up a Russian sweep here, naturally.
EYES ON: Gracie Gold. Because she’s on her way back. That is all.
PAIRS:
GOLD: Tarasova/Morozov (RUS)
SILVER: Efimova/Korovin (RUS)
BRONZE: Pavliuchenko/Khodykin (RUS)
On the other hand, a Russian pairs sweep looks downright unavoidable.
EYES ON: Whoever you like—everyone at this event has already competed once before in the GP this season
DANCE:
GOLD: Stepanova/Bukin (RUS)
SILVER: Hurtado/Khaliavin (ESP)
BRONZE: Carriera/Ponomorenko (USA
Yes, I really think it’s possible for Spain to get their first-ever GP dance medal here in what’s a relatively light field (Russians included).
EYES ON: Allison Reed—the younger sister of Chris & Kathy Reed—now representing Lithuania with third dance partner Saulius Ambrulevicius. She has previously represented Georgia and Israel .
