Grand Prix of Russia Preview

See below for my predictions but this is potentially one of the most interesting, and difficult to predict events. At first glance it may lack the top competitors seen at TEB especially for any observer that only joined the sport last year, but Russia have thrown in some 'dark horses' returning after some time who may amaze, disappoint or not turn up at all - Evgeni Plushenko, Sinead Kerr says hes jumping skills are certainly not lacking but skating has evolved a lot since he left ... I predict him first, after all hes reigning olympic champion so he deserves such pressure! Other contenders Jonny Weir ...

In Pairs Vera BAZAROVA / Yuri LARIONOV havent been out long and were stunning skaters when they left - cant remember where I predicted these to come but they could upset the field.

In Dance and Ladies its the event to be in for an easy route to the final at first glance. However competitions are rarely predictable, but my moneys on Mao Asada, and Davis/White.

British interest in Jenna - if she can put two clean skates in and there are mistakes from others a medal is not totally out of realms of possibility, Id love to see a top 5 skate from her. Wondering if she has decided which short program she'll be using yet :s
