[berrycute]

And I am going to be really mean and say the skaters I really DON'T want to medal:

Ladies
Granny (although I don't think she will), Joannie Rochette
I know some people love these skaters (esp. Joannie) but I just don't like their styles (I know I know, I must be crazy because I like Carolina and not Joannie who is apparently SO MUCH BETTER but whatever, I like what I like). I think Joannie's long program suffers in comparison to MK's 2003 version.

Men
Evan Lysacek, Brian Joubert

Pairs
Zhang/Zhang, Savchenko/Szolkowy (their short program is the single worst thing I have ever seen in my life).

Dance
Delobel/Schoenfelder

[skatingfan04]

This will be fun...:chorus:

Men
Patrick Chan (Would that make him one of the youngest mens world champs ever?)
Nobunari Oda (Is he going to worlds??)
Yannik Ponsero (Love his new style this season.)

Ladies
Joannie Rochette (She's had the season of her life, and her programs are actually worthy of the title this year.)
Yu-Na Kim (I adore her SP, and love how much her expression has improved.)
Asada

Pairs
Dube/Davison (Their artistry is paralleled only by the Germans (IMO), and I'd love to see them get rewarded for it like lasy year.)
Savchenko/Szolkowy (They're awesome.)
Pang/Tong

Ice Dance
Virtue/Moir (If anyone can pull off the impossible, its them.)
Delobel/Schoenfelder (Still the classiest team around, and I'd love to see them succeed again this year.)
Davis/White (Their FD is definately worthy of a world medal.)

I know, I know, i'm being completely biased, but hey, a girl can dream.

I can't think of a younger one. Dick Button was 18 years 8 months when he won worlds in 1948 (he was robbed in 1947 ). Evgeny Plushenko was 18 years 4 months when he won in 2001.

Partick will be 18 years two-and-a-half months old in mid-March.

Yagudin was born on 18th March 1980 and became World Champion at Worlds 1998, those Championships were from the 29th March till 5th April 1998.

Quote from Iceskatinginternational

Yadugin is the second youngest men's World Champion, just 6 days older than the record holder, Donald MacPherson of Canada.
