If you're looking to get in the Las Vegas gambling mood, Nathan Chen winning his fifth Skate America title will be the safest bet of the weekend. For a far riskier bet, try predicting the rest of the men's finishing order (I dare you).

Let's preview the pairs competing at Skate America and the biggest story lines to keep an eye on!

Our final preview and the final discipline to wrap things up on Saturday is the ice dance. Since scores and placements for the discipline tend to stay fairly consistent and major errors are far less common than the other disciplines, ice dance should be the easiest to predict. However, many teams haven't competed internationally for a while due to the pandemic and Olympic qualifying is a scary business, so there's still some chance for surprises.

With the fewest spots available of any discipline, the pairs event at Nebelhorn could be quite the nail-biter, with a medal-winning performance required in order to snatch one of the last Olympic spots.

The women's event at Nebelhorn is likely the most competitive field of the weekend, with lots of heavy hitters and plenty to watch even outside of Olympic qualification.

Let's take a look at the men's field for this weekend's Olympic qualifying at Nebelhorn Trophy.

Although the World Championships were just three weeks ago, there are still some notable storylines to keep an eye on at World Team Trophy this week. First are the safety concerns of hosting the event as coronavirus cases in Osaka continue to rise, which we've already gone over, so for this final preview, let's focus on the sporting elements of the weekend.

Surprise! There’s still one more event left in the 2020/2021 season. World Team Trophy coming after the climax of the World Championships always catches skating fans off guard, but has done even more so this year when almost every other competition has been cancelled. So, what is this event, why is it happening, and how do its safely protocols measure up?
