My wish list, just one item:
The international judges will be instructed by ISU to start judging based on what actually happens on the ice in that particular competition (and no more especially PCS judging based on reputation, please).

Thanks for joining us, Irishflip. Welcome aboard. Post often, post long!
(But as for me, I just wish that Patrick and Daisuke both stay on their feet, and may the best man win.Go-o-o Kevin Van der Perren! )
Mirai and Alissa make the world team, do well at worlds, even medal
Jeremy wins nationals, medals at worlds.
Patrick and Daisuke skate wonderfully at worlds and as MM said, may the best man win.
I have other hopes too, for example for Mao and Akiko, but if I go on and on my hopes start to contradict each other as there are only three spots on the podium in each comp ... so I can only hope my faves do their best and the chips will fall where they fall.

Toni, my posts-two of them ended up in layfans post=how did that happen? I do't use the multiquote feature-don't know how and im puter-apple challenged
please tell me where my two posts went...i said everything in the above post starting with yay, mathman...feeling picked on here! thank for fixing /explaining what the heck happened here! gracias!
Now for my own personal figure skating wish. *evil smile* (;^) I want ice dance totally eliminated, which goes waaaaaaaaaaaaay back, as far back as Adrian Chew's old board in the late 1990's. I've never considered it a sport, no matter how hard proponents of it have tried to justify its existence. It doesn't fool me. Sure there were routines I liked and enjoyed, but as a whole I've never liked ice dance nor considered it a true sport. And I will never pay good $$$ to see it, nor have I.
Here's hoping more & more cuts are going to continue when it comes to this discipline. I already note that compulsories have been cut, and they are not usually shown on t.v.. Also, they are (rightfully so) the first ones to get eliminated when it comes to television time constraints.
May these changes continue, that's my own personal figure skating wish. Let the money go to those two long-standing disciplines that actually deserve it ~ singles & pairs.
Hmmm, Nadine, I can see why you might hate ice dance in the era of dying on ice, the cheating judges giving medals to Russian/Europeans over say Bourne and Kraatz. But ice dance is so much better since the Canton crew climbed to the top. I think ice dance is a sport and a difficult one. Also, we see pure skating mostly only in icedance as the others are busy planning every move with CoP difficulty. I admist I used to skip a lot of ice dance and pay attention to only top 5 teams, so I'm no hardcore ice dance fan. Poor Doris, you* can't* wish her favorite skating away, LOL!
My wish for 2012 in figure skating:
Patrick Chan wins every competition he enters in.
Fernandez wins Europeans.
Plushenko is on the podiums both at Euros and at Worlds which means that he'd beat and bumped off someone who is favorite in the current field.
Every skater in all four disciplines is healthy. No more tragic and unexpected event happens.

skateluvr, I wish twice as much as Nadine wishes ice dance to be eliminated, that ice dance flourishes and is shown more often on TV than any other discipline.
I hope that counters all the bad luck...
(There are encouraging signs. On US spots last night's 2011 World Championships retrospective, the top 3 in all four disciplines were shown. Good enough!)
Skateluvr, I agree. You make a great point that we often see pure skating best in ice dance, because singles and pairs are so caught up with adding CoP frills and furbelows. (Though Daisuke and Patrick are doing just fine, mind you.) I think that the Canton group has added so much to ice dance, and I'm avid to see more.

I was one of those people who did not think that ice dance should be added to the Olympics because I didn't think it was a sport. The advent of CoP has totally changed my mind. I particularly love the contributions made by the Canton school skaters especially the increased emphasis on athleticism. I realize that many will not agree with me but in the end I think that Canton will have a positive influence overall.
I expect that ice dance and its rules will continue to change and that other schools/skaters will utilize CoP to create styles uniquely their own. I can't wait.
My best to all of you for a happy new year.
