2013 is the year that predicts it seems the Olympics. I wonder how often the reigning world champion got the OGM? Any good researchers/long memories/stats people here?
I expect Chan to repeat as WC next year barring major injury and take the gold. I think Chan is a virtual lock for Sochi unless Hanyu can catch up and ave a stellar season next year. He'll have to be perfect to beat a flawed Patrick on PCS unless there are rules changes coming about how jumps are scored, it sems to me. King Patrick
My gut tells me Elizaveta is going to rocket this year and there are others in Russia but I think she will do very well if she can get decent programs/packaging from Mishin. She seems done with her growth upwards. If weight does not creep up, I think she is the best Russian lady in a long time. I think she is a female Plushenko. Stars will align for her I predict. ( no I don't do astrology-just a saying). I think she has the technical content to gain strong results and I think she is a very interesting skater. She is nearly mature in presentation, almost like Tara and Sarah were at that age. And she is very confident-not a choker.
One question I have is what people feel about Asada. Could it be her mother's death took her heart away, and we will never see 2010 Mao again?
Pairs? Only V/T inspire me with their beautiful lines. I think V/T are special, and I prefer them to the current WC's so I can't be unbiased.
Ice dance 2013 Marlie take gold. But Voir beats them in Sochi.

Starting with Men, how often has the WC become the OGM that year? Thanks for your knowledge GS people.
