Ladies:
1 Sarah Meier (I cannot believe only 2 people mentioned her so far
2 Joannie
3 Racheal Flatt (I actually like her)
Men:
1 Lambiel
2 Abbott
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
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.
A certain Japanese and a certain American men on the podium
Georgia's first olympic medal in figure skating! Wow.
