Fantasy Picks - Round 2 Results

Well, results aren't officially out for Fantasy Skating (usually out on Monday), but let's see how I did. 

Ladies:
A:  Mirai Nagasu - Sigh Mirai. She finished 5th with 151 points. I'm glad I didn't pick Rachel (23 points below Mirai, uuuugh) - and okay that I slotted her behind Alena (1 point behind) - but who would predict Akiko to win the free? Well, I guess I thought she would do well and not get the marks she deserved. Instead she did well and got the marks and finished 2nd with 20 points over Mirai. Tough event to predict for sure.

B:  Elizaveta Tuktamysheva - Good choice me. She won.

C:  Sarah Hecken - I don't even wanna talk about it. She finished 8th with 130 - better than Adriana as suspected - but little Miss Amelie has a fire under her butt and was 6th and 16 points over Sarah. I will go with my home country bias a little more often - and no one told me Sarah grew like a weed.

Mens:
A:  Patrick Chan - Yep. Duh. He did squeak out the win in the end, but as suspected, not as clean early in the season as he is later in the season. That's called proper training IMO.

B: Javier Fernandez - HOORAY for picking Javier. He actually won the short and finished 2nd overall. Definitely the wisest choice I made (and hopefully it'll gain me some points)!

C: Ross Miner - Luckily he picked up his game in the long and I'm glad I chose him. Finished 6th with 202 - ahead of Rogozine and way ahead of Balde (the latter as predicted).

Pairs:
A:  Tatiana V and Maxim T - Yep. Good choice. Blew the field away...21 points over 2nd and 45 points over the other choice in the category of the Russians.

B:  Paige L and Rudi S - Shoot. They woulda done SO well if they had not messed up the last 30 seconds of their short. Blew it here though and they finished last - 5 points behind the other Chinese and 17 points behind the Japanese (who I fell in love with!).

C:  Meagan D and Eric R - Yahoo. Good choice - they finished 3rd and it'll be close between them and Towers/Moskovitch at Canadians. I really like Meagan and her work ethic and drive!!!

Ice Dance:
A:  Tessa V and Scott M - Good thing I didn't have to fall over dead - they won by over 23 points.

B:  Ekaterina R and Ilia T - Damn Italians also have a new fire under their butts. Finished 3rd and 22 points over the Russians. There goes the theory of always picking the Russians.

C:  Madison C and Evan B - What's interesting is that while Maddy and Evan were the best choice, I was pleasantly surprised at Tarrah and Keith - they should have been 5th in the Short and Free and got ripped off finishing last (instead of my expected finishing last by a long shot theory), though I would have still had them behind these Americans in the end.


So now I wait for the results and find out how everyone else did in comparison.
Fingers crossed!
