What would you like to see at Worlds 2012: MEN.....

[museksk8r]

Jeremy a journeyman? No, no - he's a super-sensitive artiste with all the technical goods who only needs a thicker skin. To peak at the right moment would be nice too.

I agree with your assessment, but I think he is perceived to be a journeyman by the majority of people, particularly on the World Championship stage where he hasn't had the most success of his career. IMO, he is a master of his craft; I'm fully aware that not everyone sees him the same way I do though.

[Spun Silver]

I'm really flabbergasted to hear this! Such a view doesn't fit the reality of his skating at all, IMO. Even before I was a fan, I never thought of him as ordinary in any way. Let's hope this weekend will open some eyes!

On another note:
I'm hoping for great skates by Dennis Ten and Misha Ge. Go, Kazhakstan and Uzbekhistan! Also Christoper Caluza (go Philippines!) and Alex Kam and Kim Min-Seok (go S. Korea!).

I would love to see Abbott, Chan and Takahashi skate clean and their best and may the best skater win.

[Boeing787]

Patrick will win for sure, just wait and see.

[Becki]

Patrick will win for sure, just wait and see.

You know, at this point, I wouldn't doubt that one bit. I expect a repeat World Champion this year.

I don't even need to wait and see,

It's what some people wouldn't like to see, but they will see.

Museksk8r should watch closely to see if Patrick will come in 11th as wished.

Museksk8r should watch closely to see if Patrick will come in 11th as wished.

That's the most unlikely thing to happen...............

It's a WISH thread. Sheesh! If that's what Museksk8r wishes to see, that's his/her business.

So it is.

[DianaSelene]

So it is.

Exactly. I want Chan in 5th place but I know it won't happen.

[museksk8r]

It's not even that I "wish" for him to finish 11th; it's that I like so many of the men and I don't want to see the same one person (Chan) win everything in sight. To me, that is not good for the sport and I hate that kind of predictability. I'm a fan of all 11 of these men to varying degrees.

[SkateFiguring]

We have all seen what finishing 5th at the Olympics did to Chan. What monster would a Worlds 11th create?

[centerpt1]

My wish?
Abbott
Kozuka, Verner, Takahashi
Rippon

The Reality?
Chan
Takahashi
Fernandez
Song

It's a frustrating thing that Abbott implodes or semi-implodes at Worlds every time. I enjoy his skating.
