I haven't seen many of these skaters so I won't make predictions, but here is the link to the entry list:

I adore Brian Joubert, and think he shouldn't have too much trouble beating this field of men. I also like Stan though, I appreciate his uniqueness.

Nice to see Sarah and Stephane back, but I'm really missing Marina and Gwendal. I believe they are skating at the gala, so at least they will be part of the "action".
