Big news is that Olympic Champ Evan Lysacek is due to compete in 2 events. Notably absent names include Yu-Na Kim and reigning world champion Miki Ando.
There are a few changes this year. The number of singles skaters in each event has been reduced from 12 to 10 and seeded skaters will have the option to compete in a third event for more prize money (and perhaps to draw in the punters).
With several dance/pairs couples calling it quits and many retirements recently, there is plenty of scope for new talent and upsets. Russia's world junior medallists Adelina Sotnikova & Elizaveta Tuktamisheva will be joining veterans Leonova and Makarova on the senior scene.
See the assignments here, I'll post some predictions as the events roll around.
Also I must apologise once again for the scarceness of my posts as I've been buried in medicine and moving house. Stick with me here at Going for Gold!
