This feels like my nightmare podium - except for Kurt :yes:

Maybe Canadian Prancers B/K could get a special merit badge - no team was ever so consistently undermarked soley for their nationality

And you might be underestimating Yuna

 

[prettykeys]

HEHE but YuNa and Johnny *heart* each other.

And I don't recognize B/K. I can only think of a Whopper.

Let's face it - as soon as Lambiel became available to skate with Yuna at COI (Cheesefesta On Ice ) Johnny was dropped like a hot potato.

Silver - Joubert/Takahashi (as Medusa suggested)

I honestly don't think this will work since I'm very sure Joubert will decline to be throwed out by Takahashi right-out. But ths reverse is fine. In fact, more than fine. They will definitely make a beautiful pair. :yes:

Great podiums BTW! :agree:
(ETA: the only thing is I don't want to see Zhang/Zhang on the podium. But I'm not that crazy about pairs anyway. I think I can live with them getting bronze )

The Zhang/Zhang is a sentimental thing.
