^^ Exactly! I'm making cards for all the top men contenders, I'm having a party with figure skating newbies the night of the LP; before the competition starts everyone has to pick a skater to root for; on the card will be a picture and a bio; my list is:
1. Plushenko
2. Joubert
3. Lysacek
4. Abbott
5. Chan
6. Lambiel
7. Oda
8. Takahashi
9. Weir
10. Verner
But really; any of those guys could medal! Not sure about Kozu's chances; he's a favorite of mine, but he's been a bit underwhelming this season :s. Anyway, I'm crazy excited about the Men's event; I hope most (or all) of the contenders have a good short so the LP will be exciting .
If all guys skate clean; what would the standings after the SP be?
Ladies:
1. Yu Na: I know the favorite hasn't won the Olympics for ages; but if anyone can do it; she can.
2. Miki: She's been crazy consisten lately; or at least scoring consistently high. I thought she should have lost RC to Ashley and she has been making mistakes in every competition this season; so she might not be as strong a contender as it would seem on paper; but still; I think she's a tough competitor and the judges like her even if I don't.
3. an American: just a hunch I have; if Mirai rotates her jumps, it's sure going to be her. OR Akiko Suzuki: she seems to be well on her way to a medal this season; talk abuout having a break through at the right time!
Mao? Joannie? They've been having to many issues lately. But could surprise and upset the top 2!
Ice Dance and Pairs: I have some hopes and expectations; but I know too little of the sports to make predictions.
