Based on what we saw today, I'd say the pairs team that is going to play spoiler at the Olympics are Mukhortova/Trankov. They've shown us they can score big in the SP last season....if they can keep on skating clean LPs like today, I'd say they have one heck of a chance.
And even as a Canadian myself, I think it'll be hilarious if a RUSSIAN team won Oly gold skating to 'Love Story'.
M/T are inconsistent. You just never know how they are going to show up. It would be interesting to see next week what K/S show. This season look very interesting. I would not be so confident in predicting the podium in Vancouver in Pairs.
