The ladies event at the 2006 Olympics has the potential to be one of the greatest finals of all time (right now). Kwan, Cohen, Arakawa, Suguri, Slutskaya, Ando, etc.....they all seem to be probable contenders. I can't wait. Will Sasha finally pull it all together for 2005 & 2006? Will Arakawa maintain her Dortmund form and conquer the world? Will Slutskaya make a formidable return (ala 1999-2000)? Will Kwan add the difficultly she needs to compliment her stellar artistry (sorry, had to factor my bias into this one....and yes, I'm proudly worshipping my sacred Kwan hair-doll as I am typing this)? Will Ando improve her presentation enough to consistently challenge for Gold? Sorry, but the situation is far too unpredictable. At this point in the game, anything could happen and most likely will. I will tell you what I think after the 2006 GPF! I'm hoping all of the ladies mentioned will work extremely hard to better all aspects of their skating so that we might enjoy an unforgetable night of figure skating. And.....my answer to the main question is: The ice is extremely slippery...Sasha's path to Italy is one with absolutely no garuntees.
