Nightmare Vancouver Podiums

Plushenko, Lysacek, Chan, any podium with them in any order or any circumstances which sees any of them going home with a medal...that is my worst nightmare

Also merely the idea of Dom/Shab or Khok/Nov going home with a medal makes me sick enough to support the idea of banning ice dancing from the olympics.
 
I remembered some. I would hate it if Alena or Rachael medaled. I don't have any for Pairs. Don't know why...
 
Men : Chan or Lysacek winning the gold medal.

Ladies : Flatt gifted a medal & no gold for Rochette Pls.

ice Dance: D/W & V/M winning the gold. which looks very likely now, Unless french D/S surprise us.

Pairs: Zhangs getting a gold and D/D gifted a medal. Can handle anyone one the top team winning the medal
 
I'll do ladies. There are many scenarios I can think of:

Any podium with Rochette on the top spot

A podium with Suzuki, Leonova and/or Kostner on it

Ando gifted a medal with an uninspiring performance (cough*NHK)

Nightmare podiums:

I don't have a nightmare podium for the ladies. I think that says a lot about the field. I think any of the top ten ranked ladies could end up with a medal & I'd be fine with that, so long as their skating on those days makes them worthy. My nightmare would be people winning when they really don't deserve it.

Men:
1. Joubert
2. Weir
3. Plushenko

Pairs:
1. Kavaguti and Smirnov
2. Mukhortova and Trankov
3. Zhangs

Don't hate the Chinese. Just don't want them behind the Russians; the Russiands on top and no medal for Shen & Zhao. That's my nightmare.

Dance
1. Domnina and Shabalin
2. Belbin and Agosto
3. Any of the Italian or French teams

With Virtue/Moir, Davis/White off the podium. I really don't think that'll happen but you just never know when it comes to dance!

1. Joubert

I am stunned by all the Evan hating going on here!

Me too!

I do not want Plushenko to win another gold. Enuff Russian federation corruption crap already!!!!
On the ladies side, I am not happy that Yu Na Kim is the darling of so many and it's considered a fait accompli for her to win the gold. I root for the underdog! Let me also say the 2006 Olympics fizzled, not sizzled, esp. in the Ladies event.

I agree!!
 
Since Vancouver/Whistler is hosting the Games - We are suppossed to "Own the Podium" (predicted most medal wins). Therefore, you do the math!

Not if the whole thing is a splat fest and her 2009 Worlds is the winning free :eek:

Ant

If the entire ladies' event turns into such as splatfest that 2009 Worlds Carolina-type performance is the "winner", then the IOC should seriously consider refusing to give out any medals to anybody at all. Or hand out medals of aluminum (foil) instead. :p
 
Pairs
Kavaguti/Smirnov
Zhang/Zhang
Shen/Zhao

I am flabbergasted. HWHAAAT? Do you not like them? :cry:

ITA, man. ITA.
 
lol it is hilarious talking about the Evan hate here but then most add Plushenko, Weir and Chan in nightmare podium:laugh:

I used to have a nightmare one, now I dont care, bad energy brings bad energy back and frustration will ruin my Olys. It is in three weeks and I want to be a party. :party2:I just hope it is not a splatfest.

I love that idea. They do that in music competitions and literature prizes. No winner.
