I sentimentaly want to see medals for Akiko (strength of spirit) and Ashley (redemption). And for the men, I've always been a huge Tomas Verner fan, If he could pull out a miracle here, I would be a happy girl 
Sentimental Favourites Versus Reality..

My sentimental side just wishes the judges would mark by how the skaters skate here and not on how great they use to be or on what country they are from.
Oh - OK maybe I should say my out of my mind side cause I know this will not happen cause we have already seen in the Team results this is not going to be the case.

This is people who will likely cost me nervous breakdown when they skate in each discipline :
HANYU (but if he bomb , I will be so nervous for any other skaters as I really do not want to see Plushenko getting another gold, although I respect him as competitor ,his program haunt me)
Kostner and Mao (Akiko too) - love Kostner's artistry but if Mao land all her triple without ur and does her program emotionally like at world 2010 free skate then she must win!
Aliona and Robin
Davis and White

Sentimental Favourites for me:
Mens:
Chan (for Canada's first gold, and to cap off a dominant quadrennial)
Takahashi (one of the best artists to ever take the ice, and I would love for him to get his redemption after Japanese Nationals)
Ladies:
Suzuki (lovely spirit, and would give me the most joy to see her win, especially when her federation hasn't always supported her)
Asada (I felt 2006 could have been her time and she was robbed of that, although it gave us another 8 years of her, instead of going ala Baiul/Lipinski)
Pairs:
S/S (if they lost, they'd be one of the best pairs teams to never win an Olympics)
Ice Dance:
D/W (I want to see the golds split between V/M and D/W, as both teams deserve golds for their stellar contributions to furthering ice dancing to a new stratosphere)

I'm rooting for a few loved skaters to get their wishes, Like Asada, Fernandez, Kostner and S\S,
But the two i find it hard to watch when they skate because it's so much pressure are Plushenko and Wagner

My sentimental favorites are Daisuke Takahashi, Carolina Kostner and Savchenko/Szolkowy. Wish them all the best, clean and memorable performances, a podium finish for Daisuke and Carolina and Gold for S/S. Besides I hope for brilliant skates by the Japanese girls.

Some skaters have been around for so long that they seem like lifelong friends.
I would love to see the following skate their potential: Dai, Aliona & Robin, Pang & Tong, Weaver & Poje (though they're more future rather than present contenders), Caro, Abbott...
I'm happy to see Dai mentioned so often. The less popular Pang & Tong are also mentioned several times. I'm pleased!

Mao Asada 
I think it would make my year if she finally won. I'd never ask the skating gods for anything again. 
But actually, I hope the ladies podium is some combination of Mao, Yu-Na, and Carolina. I love Gracie and Julia is phenomenal, but I really don't want Julia to win OGM. After 6.0 I really thought the days of Tara Lipinski and Sarah Hughes were over, and I liked the Torino and Vancouver ladies podiums... I wouldn't be surprised if COP was due for a major overhaul (at least in PCS) post-Sochi.

CaroLiza_fan, thank you for speaking for me!
Let me allow to add Brian Joubert for Men's bronze, along with Tomas, though, please?

Awww. I forgot all about Brian!
How on Earth did I manage to miss him???!!! Like, I love Brian Joubert!!!
Yeah, give Brian the bronze! And Tomas can have the "Pewter" medal (as the Americans would say!)
Thank you for liking my assessment!
