Grand Prix Final Countdown: The Men

USA broadcasting times for this event, are here.


Is this pretty much a no brainer that Chan will win this or what?

Surprising skaters who did not make the GPF include:  Kozuka and Oda.

Here are some videos of the men who made it to the GPF (In no particular order):

Patrick Chan:
What is there really to say?  There's a 99.9% chance that he'll win, he basically has a 5 fall cushion. 


Jeremy Abbott:
Jeremy showed all those Judges from last year that he can still skate amongst the younger skaters.  Jeremy's long program is definitely a highlight, one of his best programs.  Hopefully he can make it to worlds this year.

Michal Brezina:
Skate America was Michal's best competition this season, here is his sp:


Yuzuru Hanyu
With Oda and Kozuka not making the GPF, Yuzuru is a real threat for the Japanese Nationals Podium.  Could he make it to worlds this year?  


Daisuke Takahashi
The judges will probably keep his scores slightly close to Chan's just to pretend like this is an actual competition.


Javier:

This short program was the highlight of his season so far.  Beautiful quads, Brian has done a great job with him.  Javier definitely has been one of the biggest surprises this season.

What are you predictions for the GPF?
