What do you think will be the likely scenarios and key matchups in Moscow? Here is my take:
Men: Plushenko is the big favorite for gold. Bucking for position behind him are Weir, Joubert, Buttle, Goebel and possibly Lambiel. To challenge Plush, Weir and Buttle will have to up the technical ante; Joubert and Goebel must work on presentation.
Ladies: The battle at the top should be a showdown between the two grande dames -- Slutskaya and Kwan. Irina and Michelle have dueled many times, both getting the better of the other on various occasions. There will also be an intense fight for the third spot on the podium with Cohen, Arakawa, Rochette, Ando and maybe Suguri all as possible takers.
