If this is referring to Alexei, he never lost it. I still don't understand how you get Yags out of Yagudin. Just puzzles me!!

I voted for Angela´s comeback, because her goal surely is to compete in the US Nationals and to participate at Worlds?

About Yagsudin, isn´t he only aiming for Grand Prix events and participating in SOI tour for the rest of the season? That is the impression I have gotten, but maybe I´m wrong.

I really would like to see Weir back, because he has a great style. But will he do it, somehow I have a bit doubts.

- AP McD, I don´t think having seen her skating ever
- Chait & Sakhnovsky, I liked what I saw in past season and am looking forward to their skating and hoping that they will go up in the results
- Hughes, she isn´t even competing this season, is she?
- Petrova & Tikhonov, I hope to see them competing this season, but will they be able to compete for Worlds gold? I don´t know.

I don't know if AP can be considered a comback, but I really do hope she skates really well this season! I am so excited to see what she can do! :) I know she has a lot of talent! :)
 
I think Angela still has what it takes to be among the best in the world... her time to shine just hasn't come yet, but it will...
 
Angela!
I want very much to see this skater not only come back, but break through to the next level that I *know* she's capable of...:)
 
What about the comeback man? Elvis Stojko. Ok, he's out for a loop right now with a virus and had to pull out at Summer Skate. but he's coming back.
 
Yags even though he is not my fave I would love to see him compete again especially against Plush. The season was great but a little boring without Yags.

ITA. This was her first serious full season in the seniors, and I think she did VERY well. The only thing that truly marred her year was that whole visa thing.

I also think Johnny can definitely come back.
 
Anne Patrice - though it isn't really a comeback - not like Elvis's or Yagudin's.

Anne Patrice is an incredibly promising skater - as long as she's really skating for herself. I've suspected for a while that her mother is a too intrusive in AP's life and skating and wondered if AP is really skating for herself or her mother. If it is for her Mother - she'll never make it. It has to come from inside herself.

The idea of seeing Yagudin compete again is thrilling, though! I get chills at the anticipation of it. He is truly great. And, it would be nice to see a Russian man win the gold medal and then not fade away into the Pro world - never to be heard from again. (Wouldn't it be nice to see a US ladies champion do the same thing for once, also?!)
 
We have to golden russian men winning gold medals for the past 5 years. Is after all the Plush/Yags era:D
 
I voted AP McD. I really think that she has a bright future. In fact, the future may be today, a lot of good things happened last season.

YAGS : It sounds way to serious an injury and since he has it all already, motivation may be lacking.
ANGELA : She alread had one comeback. How many does a skater get. I have a bad feeling.
JOHNNY W. : The male Sasha. I'll believe it when I see it.
CHAIT & SAKHNOVSKY: IMO were darn lucky to ever get on that podium in the first place. I think that we've seen the last of them.
PETROVA & TIKHNOV : I don't think they even deserved the win they had. B&S were out and S&Z made mistakes. Now they have T&M to overtake. It will never happen for them again.
SARAH HUGHES : I think that we've seen the last of her.

Just my gut feelings.
 
I wish I could have voted for more than one!

That was a hard decision...I would love to see both AP and Angela win medals at Nationals next year, and based on how terrific his SP was at 2003 Nationals, I also would really like to see Johnny make the podium in Atlanta and the World team this coming year.
