Fantasy Figure Skating Update

Last week, I rose a little bit in the USFSA Fantasy Figure Skating rankings, but not enough to brag about.  Here are my picks this week - my strategy stayed the same - choose the highest ranked skaters possible and guess on the rest.

Ladies A Miki Ando, JPN

Ladies B Kristine Musademba, USA

Ladies C Joshi Helgesson, SWE

Men's A Tomas Verner, CZE

Men's B Samuel Contesti, ITA

Men's C Jialiang Wu, CHN

Pairs A Lubov Iliushechkina/Nodari Maisuradze, RUS

Pairs B Caitlin Yankowskas/John Coughlin, USA

Pairs C Huibo Dong/Yiming Wu, CHN

Ice Dancing A Federica Faiella/Massimo Scali, ITA

Ice Dancing B Madison Hubbell/Keiffer Hubbell, USA

Ice Dancing C Xiaoyang Yu/Xun Zheng, CHN

Mer11 at Ice Pact decided to make a Fantasy Figure Skating for NHK, so I thought I'd join her.

I don't follow international figure skating that much, so a lot of the names were unfamiliar to me.  A lot of my choices were just made because, "China has a strong pairs program," or "Gee, I don't want everyone on my team to be from the US". 

Ladies: 
Rachel Flatt - I love watching her skate
Caroline Zhang - I think her "pearl" layback is amazing
Jenna McCorkle

Men
Daisuke Takahashi - he's hot
Kevin Van Der Perren
Jeremy Ten - Mer11 chose Dennis Ten for her team.  Is it possible they are related? 

Pairs
Pang/Tong - Mer chose Caydee and her partner, so I thought I'd choose the Chinese.  And they are incredible skaters.
Brodeur/Matatall
Zhang/Wang

Ice Dancing
Davis/White - I have always loved Meryll's smile.  They are incredible to watch
Reed/Reed - representing Japan.  Really?  These guys are Japanese?
Coombes/Buckland
