(Re Michael Martinez) I know, I have secret hopes. He seems such a nice kid.
Here's a crazier one. Takahashi & Kihara defy all odds to become world medalists in pairs!
And Aliona and Bruno come one spot behind them in every single competition they both enter!
:agree:
PS. Hope it's not too "crazy" a prediction.
I would love Michael and Yuzuru rivalry.
omg I'm dying over here that was too much[everything]
You did say crazy, right?
Polina becomes a "favorite lost daughter" of the Russians when she starts making a habit of interrupting future Russian podium sweeps by the Russian ladies.
So Youn PARK has a Joanie Rochette bronze medal winning performance in PyeongChang South Korea, 2018.
With no podium finishes next season Ashley joins the other vets from the last cycle and retires.
Gracie becomes the Kanako Murakami of American figure skating when Karen Chen finally becomes a senior. [/QUO
What is a Joannie Rochette Bronze medal? Inspiring performances after losing your mom? That is kind of nasty or jinxing Park and her mom.
Martinez is fantastic though. I predict he will be on the podium of a major senior competition soon and be a top contender at Pyeongchang.
Now that Asadafanboy is craziest yet.
MK divorces hubby after failed senate bid and decides to return to skating as an ice pair with Ryan Bradley. They win NATIONALS BASED ON POPULARITY, AGE AND SOME PRETTY GOOD SPINS AND THROWS.
Johnny and hubby reconcile, split, reconcile, split then divorce for good before Johhny and Hanyu run off to Vegas to elope in matching outfits designed by Johnny. Actually, this may not be ATC. )all that crazy-Johnny's new skating venture gets names ATC!
Gracie outskates everyone as usual but Russians keep buying all medals. Caro decides to skate in Korea in 2018 since Italy becomes part of new Soviet Union and she is "given an offer she can't refuse" by Vladimir Putin.
Julia grows and decides the Moscow Circus is the place for her as she develops a great contortion act.
YuNa Kim returns for 2018 having been promised " an offer she cannot refuse" by KSU and comes in Bronze. S. Korean president calls in Drones to stop the riots in Seoul when YuNa gets bronze. KSU files a complaint against itself and S. Korea. Adelina Sotnikova wins gold again but is spirited away from rabid insane mobs as her likeness is burned in effigy at KSU headquarters. She goes into hiding and is never heard from again.
Pchiddy starts a rap group and does only rap numbers. He offers to skate for any country but Canada and gets many offers and accepts to skate for Kazahstan to make amends for having stolen Denis Ten (retired) 2013 World gold medal. When done with his skating career, he becomes an entertainment lawyer and does dancing with the stars and wins the mirrorball. "Much better than Oly Gold" says Chan as he exits from performing after marrying his dance partner, Karina Smirnoff.
Aliona Savchenko and Bruno Massot win bronze in 2018 Olympics. After Aliona gets out of jail for toe picking the technical specialist, she and Fedor Andreev start preparing for nex:scratch:t Olympics in ?
You did say crazy, right?
That's how unrealistic it is
She can do much better.
In an attempt to broaden their respective fan bases, the ISU and FINA collaborate on an event designed to bridge the gap between winter & summer sports: underwater synchronized skating. Early attempts are unsuccessful due to drownings caused by the weight of boots/blades, but developers remain hopeful.
Wouldn't the ice melt or the water freeze....hmmm. This seems very crazy.
:yes: Certifiably crazy. I was just being silly; got inspired by skatefiguring (#91 above).
The Male Pairs event gets moved from the Gay Olympics to become the fifth official discipline in Olympic Figure Skating and all ISU competitions. It becomes the most popular of all five events, with many top male skaters switching from Single to pair up to compete in this event. Female Pairs are being formed and tried out for popularity. ISU reconsiders when Singles are drained of many of their top talents and drawing power.
Fans have many more juicy speculations on couples splitting and reforming.
