I think Evan has a good chance with at least silver providing he doesn't mess up. I mean, he gets huge points from ISU judges even in a program with flaws. We have really seen what Lambiel could do, plus he's injured. Isn't Joubert injured as well?
Personally, I can't stand either Pluschenko's programs or personality. I'd rather see Evan win the gold at the Olympics.
Patrick as in Patrick Chan? Why not any Japanese men?

Olympic Committee has come out with a potential podium?? Huh?? What 's this???Originally Posted by fairly4
Here's my dream podium
Pairs
Gold: S/Z We would have a fairy tale ending for them
Silver: S/S Itheir "Out Of Africa" LP but they will come up short
Bronze: P/T Wuzrobbed in Torino, deserve a medal
Mens
Gold: Stephane Lambiel Too bad he gave up on his 3A but everything else is swoonworthy
Silver: Jeremy Abbott If he perform the same way he did at Nationals, he's in
Bronze: Daisuke Takahashi Always loved the guy and just
As a matter of fact, any of the 3 winning gold would be great!
Ice Dance
Gold & Silver: V/M or D/W Do we need to ask why? Team Marina & Igor all the way!
Bronze: B/A I wanna see a NA sweep
I would've placed Del/Sch for bronze but I'm afraid they're gonna be rusty from the nearly 15-month layoff.
Ladies
Gold: Yu-Na Kim She's gonna skate 2 clean programs. Mark my words!
Silver: Joannie Rochette Love "S&D" and if she performs the same way as she did at Nationals, she might give Yu-Na a run
Bronze: Mao Asada Since none of us can't convince her to leave TAT or to change that costume, I just hope she finishes the season on a high note. No DGs on those 3As!
For Men's I'm dreaming of a tri-continental podium; something like:
1. Abott
2. Lambiel
3. Oda
But I like so many other guys too.. I'm not a fan of Plushenko (but my friend who I'm going to be watching the Olympics with loves him) and Evan (deservedly world champ last year; this year; someone else with more artistry and less hideous costumes pwetty pwease).
For Ladies: I'm hoping that not all of the podium are Asian. Not because I don't like Asians, that'd be a silly reason; just because I like to have more continents in the mix; but an all Asian podium is at this point quite likely, and it would be fair since it would reflect their dominance during the past quad. Still; I hope at least one North-American or European fights her way to the podium. I wouldn't mind if it were Carolina Kostner; I know she's been inconsistent, but it would be so cool if she delivered when it counted. Or Joannie Rochette; I liked last season's programs better, but if she can skate a LP like she did at Japan Open; I say give her the medal!!!!
Oh; and I would like Akiko to be on the podium
For Dance: I would love for V/M to win and for Delobel/Schoenfelder to medal!
For Pairs: I love the German team's programs; I think they're so artistic and have an amazing quality to their skating; but competition is going to be fierce...

Here's my (realistic) dream podium:
Mens
1) Brian (surprise, surprise ^^)
2) Stéphane
3) Tomas
I'd like Dai to come fourth too, and maybe Oda and Chan following.
Ladies
1) Yu-Na Kim
2) Mao Asada
3) Hesitating between Carolina and Miki
Pairs
1) S/Z
2) S/S
3) P/T
Ice dancing
It's quite tough. I definitly want D/W on their. For Del/Schoes, it depends on their program. I'm not too keen on V/M or B/A and Dom/Shabs even less so. I like P/B and K/K. K/N aren't as good this year as they usually are.
Women gold Mao Asada
silver Yuna Kim
bronze Joannie Rochette
Men gold Daisuke Takahashi
silver Jeremmy Abott
bronze Takahiko Kozuka
Pairs gold Xhen Shao
silver Pang Tong
bronze Zhangs
Just dreams!
Ladies:
1. Mao
2. Akkiko
3. Caroline Zhang (I know, she won't be at the Olympic, but it's just a dream)
Men:
1. Lambiel
2. Chan
3. Verner
Pairs:
1. Shen/Zhao
2. Aliona/Robin
2.Tatiana/Stanislav

1 Lambiel

3 Chan
Although I would love to fit some other guys on the podium too - Verner, Oda, Brezina
Pairs:
I would like to see 4 pairs on the podium...
S/Z, S/S, D/D, Vol/Mor
I am not sure about order, but I guess S/Z not winning gold would be a disappointment for them. I do not love S/S, but they are great and deserve a medal. V/M - SHE is gorgeous. And so unlucky in her career! So I want them to medal, he retires and she wins gold in Sochi
Dance:
1) Del/Sch
2) V/M (that was a tough choice not putting them in the first place, but I want them to do so in Sochi!!)
3) D/W
Pairs:
1) Kawaguchi & Smirnov
2) Savchenko & Szolkowy
3) Pang & Tong (They deserve a spotlight after all these years!)
Dacne:
Belbin & Agosto? I kinda like them and they're the only pair I can name after 4 years of not following ice dance!
Men:
1) Takahashi
2) Abott
3) Joubert
Ladies:
1) Ando
2) Kim
3) Nagasu
Dream podium
Ladies
1. Mao and Yuna (I know there is no tie, but I want both of them to win)
2. Joannie and Miki
3. Akiko, Caro, and Mirai
I wouldn't mind other ordering or any other people.
Men
1. Verner
2. Takahashi and Joubert
3. Chan and Nobu
I wouldn't mind other ordering or other people here as well.

I don't predict or do dream podiums for the men, so as not to jinx my favorites (and besides, I'm sure everyone can guess who's on my dream podium). The other disciplines I watch for fun, so I can just go ahead:
Ladies
1. Yu-Na Kim
2. Carolina Kostner, but with a good LP. not a hot mess like in 2008 Worlds.
3. Mao Asada
I also want Julia Sebestyen to do well and to improve on her best Olympic result (8th in SLC).
Pairs
1. Savchenko/Szolkowy
2. Shen/Zhao; I'd have put them first if they had better programs.
3. Mukhortova/Trankov
Dance
1. Delobel/Schoenfelder
2. Virtue/Moir
3. Faeilla/Scali, because I like their OD and their FD, which is more than I can say for most teams this season. I'm aware this is an unlikely result.
in men:
1.stephane lambiel
2. Patrick Chan
3. Jeremy Abbott
In ladies:
1. Yu-Na Kim
2. Mao-Asada
3.
In pairs:
1. Shen and Zhao
2. Pang and Tong
3.
In ice dance:
1. Davis and White
2.
3.
Let's see... my dream podiums:
Ladies:
1- Yu-Na Kim
2- Sarah Meier
3- Joannie Rochette
Men
1- Stephane Lambiel
2- Daisuke Takahashi
3- Jeremy Abbott/ Johnny Weir/ Nobunari Oda / Javier Fernandez (why not?)
(love all of them, and I fear none of them will be on the podium)
Pairs
1- Savchenko/Szolkowy
2- Shen/Zhao
3- Mukhortova/Trankov
Ice dance
1- Kerrs
2- Davis/White
3- Virtue/Moir
