Virtue and Moir: to make their technical audacity (as exhibited in their "Great Gig" free dance) a bit more organic (a la "Umbrellas"). Olympic Gold

Crone and Poirier: A seniors skate with a bit of pizazz.

Delobel and Schoenfelder: A medal.

Pairs

Dube and Davison: Technical improvement.

Duhamel and Buntin: Refinement

Kavaguti and Smirnov: A blindingly brilliant long program

Mens

Patrick Chan: Olympic Gold. More consistency on the triple axel. A start on the quad. Less trash talk - let the skating speak instead.

Daisuke Takahashi: Health and form. I really DON'T want him to push himself to the point of injury.

Womens

Joannie Rochette: A clean long.

Yu Na Kim and Mao Asada: A reason for the rivalry. Both put on their A-game and deliver

so... Medusa... what happens when they don't all tie for gold? ;)
Medusa will be deeply disappointed. No seriously, it was just my way of saying that I want a fantastic, brilliant, outstanding, superb, magnificent, stunning, beautiful, diverse and exciting men's competition, where everyone brings his A-game, athletically and performance-wise, and the best man wins.
