All right, Asher, that was Skate Canada International.
We're going to look ahead into Cup of China.
Give it to me.
Here's my golden picks.
I wasn't super good last week,
so I hope that this week's a little bit better.
None of us were.
We have Shun Sato.
I think he's going to be fantastic.
Lila and Lewis just won Skate Canada International.
Back-to-back, that's going to be tough.
We have Monet Chiba.
I love her.
Something happened last year, but I think she's going to come back.
I think so, too.
Yeah, I hope so.
So, and for pairs, I have...
Melkina and Brulava, I think they're going to be fantastic.
They won France, so they're looking for another gold
to be at the Grand Prix Final soon.
I see your golden picks.
I support you, but I disagree.
I disagree.
I disagree because here are my golden picks.
You had one that matches.
We do have a little bit of a crossover.
Okay.
For the men, I've also chosen Shun Sato.
He was on fire last season.
He's going to continue.
I have...
Davis and Smolkin, the married couple of Georgia,
taking the win here over Lila and Lewis.
Um, Alex.
Alexandra Ignatova, she's back competing as one of the Ainsleys.
She's still got them quads, even after having a baby.
Shout out to you, girl. I think she's going to take it.
And I also have the Ainsleys, former world champions in 2021,
Sheena and Galymov, I think that they are going to take it.
It's going to be an interesting event for sure, but that's fine.
I think that I'm going to be correct and support you.
You can catch all of that wonderful skating
at the Cup of China starting next weekend.
Streaming begins Friday, November 6th
at 1.45 p.m. Eastern on CBC Gem
and watch it on primetime on CBC TV
on Saturday, 7th at 7 p.m.
And Piper, you will be there.
I'll be there.
Yeah, but that is all from us for the recap
and we will see you next week for Cup of China.
