What an interesting list. I see Irina Slutskaya is not competing. Also, I think that in two years world junior champion Yukina Ota will have a better shot than either Arakawa or Onda -- and maybe Miki Ando should be there, too.
A lot can happen in two years. Maybe AP MacDonough or Bebe Liang will be a factor.
Anyway, I voted for Fumie to edge out Sasha for the gold. There are lots of interesting possibilities.
I personally think that Michelle will go and will make the podium, but not necessarily in first place.
I've voted for Fumie, but I guess it's just hope and wishful thinking. Well, we'll see and find a winning Lady for sure, no matter if Kwan competes or not. It wouldn't change anything!
None of the above. Torino (in Italian) or Turin (in English) will have a rivalry between Yukina Ota and Bebe Liang for gold! Remember you heard it here first.
I didn't vote for any of them because I am betting it is someone that we don't really "know" yet. A suprise like Tara and Sarah. But, if I had to guess, I would say Sasha Cohen. The talent is there.
Enough so that an Olympic "phobic" Kwan, who will be considered ancient and an outside chance of winning based on her last two tries will win it it her "Golden" years!
Expect the unexpected.
Seriuosly, even if Kwan were to be the favorite,
the media while hoping that she can win will all predict it going to someone younger because it has happened twice now.
