These are, of course, the mid-Olympic cycle Worlds. Will they be predictive of Sochi success? Here's a fun fact: all of the 2004 champions went on to win OGMs, none of the 2008 champions won gold in Vancouver, and two of the Nice medalists won in SLC. In that spirit, I will pick two expected results and two upsets:

Pairs
S/S because Pina must win over the blah Black Swan. But I have a bad, bad feeling about this. Duhamel and Radford = unexpected Canadian bronze medalists.

Dance
V/M for the win, D/W second. I can't pick the bronze medalists without knowing P/B's status.

Men
I am hereby casting Jeremy Abbott in the Jeff Buttle role, Patrick Chan as Brian Joubert, whichever French guy you want as Johnny Weir, and a Japanese skater to Zayak himself out of contention (Dai, 2008; Nobu, seemingly every year). I am saying this to amuse myself, not because I see much of a chance of this outcome coming to be.

Ladies
It's an even year, so Mao Asada for the win (considering what she's been up to, this would totally be an upset). Kostner second, Suzuki gets the bronze. Wagner gets to skate in the gala.

I must amend my previous post to note that there is also a strong possibility of a Czech guy finishing 4th (2007, 2009 - Verner; 2010 & 11 - Brezina).

Buttercup: I think Abbott really does have a chance to take this title in Nice. I think a clean, quadless SP from Abbott is very competitive with a Chan SP that features a bobble or two. That would set up a nice showdown between Abbott and Chan in the LP, where Chan will miss one quad, fall on the 3A, and trip up on his 3Lz-1L-3S combo. Abbott wins, and Hanyu and Fernandez duke it out for the bronze because Takahashi's jumps go all wacky, Kozuka still can't find his mojo, and the judges give Gachinski the SS marks that he deserves (low ones). The Czech boys will be unable to hold it together, and the hometown French boys won't be able to stand the pressure. And seriously: the Matrix? AGAIN?

But, in reality, it will probably go down like this:

1. Chan
2. Takahashi
3. Abbott
4. Czech Boy #1
5. Amodio
6. Czech Boy #2
7. Hanyu
8. Kozuka
9. Joubert
10. Gachinski
11. Rippon
