Predictions/ hopes for worlds

[#1Kerryfan]

With so many stars from the Olympics out, it's possible that we'll see some people on the podiums at worlds who may not have been there before. So I ask you, Golden Skate, who do you think will be on the podiums? And who do you want?

MY PREDICTIONS

Ladies:
1. Zagitova
2. Medvedeva
3. Osmond

Men:
1. Uno
2. Jin
3. Chen
(Is Hanyu competing? He wasn't on the ISU list, but Wiki still has him listed)

Pairs:
1. Savchenko/ Massot
2. Sui/ Han
3. Tarasova/ Morozov

Dance:
1. Papadakis/ Cizeron
2. Cappellini/ Lanotte
3. Hubbell/ Donahue

MY HOPES

Ladies:
1. Tennell
2. Chen
3. Osmond

Men:
1. Aaron
2. Chen
3. Zhou

[crazydreamer]

1. Medvedeva
2. Zagitova
3. Miyahara

Other prediction: U.S. will lose three spots.

Hopes:

- That Max will skate two perfectly clean programs with the same joy and freedom that he skated with at 4CC. If it is the last, that he has no regrets; or for it to perhaps inspire him to continue. To see him smile...

- That Brendan skates clean, both short and long, and is happy with his skates; then we shall see what the judges shall do with him.

- That Katia and Harley get their revenge by skating such a perfect short program they DARE the judges to screw them out of the FS. And then this time, by golly, that FS will be clean!

Hopes

I really want to see Max and H/B have wonderful skates.

I want H/D on the podium near the top if not on the top.

That's about it.

(Is Hanyu competing? He wasn't on the ISU list, but Wiki still has him listed)

He's most definitely on the ISU list, as of last night. http://www.isuresults.com/events/cat03108710.htm
The question is, for how long...

 

[cathlen]

I hope reason will win, and he will WD. He needs his ankles healthy if he want to jump that 4A someday... (And my selfish being actually would really like to see that in Yuzuru version, because I know it would be magnificent!)

 

[sweetice]

I hope that Uno can win, but i think Chen will prevail this time.

Anyway, without Hanyu, Medvedeva and Sui/Han, my most hoped results for these worlds concerning the italians, so Kostner, Cappellini/Lanotte and Marchei/Hotarek, on the podium. For the rest, whatever happens i only like to see good performances from all

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Predictions:
1. Zagitova
2. Medvedeva
3. Osmond

1. Hanyu
2. Uno
3. Chen

1. Sui/Han
2. Savchenko/Massot
3. Tarasova/Morozov

1. Papadakis/Cizeron
2. Capellini/Lanotte
3. Hubbell/Donohue

Hopes:
1. Medvedeva
2. Zagitova
3. Sotskova or Tennell or Nagasu or Daleman or Miyahara

1. Chen
2. Aliev
3. Jin

1. Sui/Han
2. James/Cipres
3. Marchei/Hotarek or Tarasova/Morozov or Alexandrovskaya/Windsor

I don't care about ice dance at all now that the Shibs are gone

 

[brushalley]

I want P/C to retain the gold.
H/D silver
S/Bukin bronze!

 

[Ziotic]

I want P/C to retain the gold.
H/D silver
S/Bukin bronze!

P/C can’t retain the title since they don’t currently have it!

 

[steiner]

My greatest hope is for Wakaba and/or Gabby to medal (I don't think it's realistic to wish for both, sob).

 

[#1Kerryfan]

He's most definitely on the ISU list, as of last night. http://www.isuresults.com/events/cat03108710.htm

Then maybe it was another list I saw that he wasn't on...

 

[peepsquick]

P/C can’t retain the title since they don’t currently have it!

Probably meant regain.

 

[SnowWhite]

Somewhat realistic hopes

Dance

- H/D silver
- Either W/P or C/L bronze
- S/F top 10
- Good skates for S/D, H/B

Pairs

- S/M gold
- M/H or J/C bronze
- 3 spots for CAN
- 2 spots for US

Men

- Dmitri Aliev bronze
- Good skates for Matteo, Julian, Keegan

Ladies

- Evgenia gold
- Kaetlyn bronze
- 3 spots for CAN, JPN
- Redemption for Gabby

 

[Beckett]

Hoping Savchenko/Massot get gold (her sixth, his first), so that if they do decide to retire after this season, it will be on a high note. Though I don't know if anything can best their glorious free skate at the Olympics.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

I’d like to see Satoko get a medal here. She was so close at the Olympics :2thumbs:

 

[Li'Kitsu]

Hopes:
Boyang continues to "come out of nooooowhere" ( ) and wins gold giving 2 clean skates. He is so happy and smiles so much during the KnC and victory ceremony that the ice melts. Yuzu watches it happily from home, resting his ankle, buried in a mountain of potato chips, throwing an excited Spiderman pose at his TV.
Dima wins the bronze medal at his debut WC and joins the "potential next OGMs" together with Yuzu & Boyang

Wakaba gives 2 clean performances and gets huge standing ovations. She gets a medal and is happier then ever before. Japan gets 3 spots back.

Everyone stays healthy, skates well and leaves the competition being proud of themselves and their efforts.

And the most unrealistic of them all: judging makes sense.

 

[sweetice]

Japan gets 3 spots back.

I hope that too.

Too many great skaters for only two spots. USA's girls aren't that competitive.

 

[chuckm]

Men: A medal for Nathan C. and top 6 for Vincent Z.

Ladies: Top 6 placement for Karen/Bradie + top 7 placement for Bradie/Karen

Dance: Medal for HD, top 6 for CB, top 10 for H/B

Pairs: Two spots for W2019.

 

[StitchMonkey]

My hope at this point is that the USA has three men competing who are healthy and trained and want to be there.
