very true, I forgot about men only having 2 spots 
I guess I'll go with Adam & Johnny with Jeremy getting the bronze at Nationals. what I really want is 5 spots for men, is that too much to hope for?

Real hopes and dreams --
Davis and White for Gold in Ice Dance; USA Men's Oly team to be Adam Rippon and Josh Farris; Ladies -- Yuna to have another skate of her life and for Gracie Gold to get steadier and more consistent in both programs as the season progresses and to be on the USA team (and have great programs at Olys); Pairs -- Savchenko and Szolkowy to have triumphant performances and win Gold.

I want to see the extremely rare feat of a lady skater defending her Olympic title--only two women in figure skating's 100+ year history have ever done it. That's far fewer than the number of underdogs/non-favorites who have won. Why another "surprise"? Do people really want another Sarah Hughes? That just happened, what, 11 years ago. On the other hand, Katarina Witt's second OGM was over 25 years ago.
At least if Kim wins a second ogm it won't be such a fluke. Witt was lucky and many feel there were so many ways for Manley to win - Ito placing second in the free or changes in the school or short program but giv it to witt she is a competitor.

Just to be catty but a real dogfight between Evan wearing Vera Wang and Johnny in feathers and beads and Plushy would have been entertaining. i can just see Vera in tears as her Wang outfit is destroyed in tatters and the pouring of feathers and bugle beads and sequins left on the ice. Who need wrestling when you have figure skating

OK, SkaterBoy... you just made my night!
Throw in Hanyu beating someone over the head with his Pooh Bear, and that would be a "bar fight on ice" to remember!
I confess I'm hanging on to a lost fantasy here, but I still hope Evan and Plushy both make it.
Really, there's not much else in terms of interest among the men for me, and a rematch would be something to look forward to.
