If they can't get their predictions right about sports they're supposed to know, I trust their figure skating (and any other Winter Olympic prediction) about as far as I could throw the entire staff of the magazine.
Sports Illustrated picked Brian Orser over Brian Boitano in 1988, and we know what happened there. They based their predictions on past performances, but it's pretty difficult to factor in the unforseen, the unpredictable, illnesses, and who knows what else that can throw a monkey wrench into the scenario.
