What's your Olympic wish?

[made_in_canada]

I want a Canadian lady to medal, two would be even better though highly unrealistic
Javi to win.
Kostner to skate the kind of programs that silence an arena, kind of like Mao's FS in Sochi. I don't even care where she finishes.
The podium to be bigger to accommodate all the pairs and men I want to have a medal
Both V/M and P/C to skate cleanly.
At least one major upset where someone has the skate of their life.
Chan to skate well.

I have too many Olympic wishes. It is scandalous, tbth. I must admit that I am so deliriously happy that Oly gold could maybe, maybe go to someone unpredictable... Think about it! Wouldn't that be great?! I have always preferred the underdog, the unexpected, does it get any better than that?! Who's with me here?! Surely, there must be a few who are rooting for the unexpected, the underdog?!

 

[alchemy void]

1. Savchenko gold

2. An epic ladies competition with Med, Kostner, Sakamoto, Daleman, Osmond, Zags, and Miyahara all skating well.

3. Endless drama on FSU over dance

4. Mens not to be a total shitshow, I’d love to see Chan win. USA figure skating desperately needs him.

I'm telling you, if Savchenko wins gold, game over!! This household will be partying until the cows come home!! If Kostner wins gold, BEDLAM!!!!

 

[Tofa]

I hope IOC will be clear honest and ban Mozer/Tutberidze just like any other Sochi officials/coaches/doctors, so maybe then Medvedeva, Zagitova and T/M refuse to participate there.

A few? I think the most of people, especially if they are not so invested in that category, root for the underdog.

 

[MAXSwagg]

Men
Hanyu gold
Javi/Boyang in any order after

OR

Hanyu/Chan/Fernandez podium to restore integrity to the discipline.

Dance
P/C gold

Pairs
Sui/Han gold
Aliona/Tarasova-Morozv in any order after

Ladies
Don't really care. It's kind of a joke.

Team
Russia gold
USA silver
Canada bronze

 

[Frau Muller]

Team - OARs (Russia) to win gold...and that it not be even close

Pairs - Germans to win. Top 5 for North Koreans...ok, maybe Top 8 more realistic but I can wish!

Men - Javi to win, against all odds. Nathan and Boyang the remaining medals.

Dance - France #1. Chock/Bates silver or bronze, with highest US finish. (Hey, these are our personal hopes!) Top 10 finish for both the Chinese and Japanese. A great finish for the Koreans with the heavenly “Arirang” FD.

Ladies - Sweep by the OARs: Medvedeva - Zagitova - Sotskova...although I wouldn’t mind Kaori Sakamoto in the mix! Top 8 for Dabin Choi.

General wish: that certain skaters who cannot skate up to technical snuff not be propped-up with ridiculously high PCS.

Finally - That lime-green baggy unitards be banned!

4. Mens not to be a total shitshow, I’d love to see Chan win. USA figure skating desperately needs him.

I'm sorry, but no. We here in Canada love him too and we're keeping him. Go make your own.

I'm assuming you meant Chen?

 

[nuge]

Bukin to be there

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Finally - That lime-green baggy unitards be banned!

That she comes to to her senses is my number 1 wish....

 

[Vagabond]

Go make your own.

We've tried. Bryce Davison. Kaitlyn Weaver. Piper Gilles. Keegan Messing.

All we want is just a little reciprocity.

I am terrified of putting anything I want into writing for fear that it will jinx my faves horribly and what I write will be sure to NOT happen.

Hmmm on second thought maybe I can use my notorious bad fortune for good... I wish/hope that Alina Zagitova does two perfect gorgeous programs!







LOL and now either way I'm screwed cause the universe knows I'm being facetious and to now punish me they are going to give me exactly what I've asked for.

Hello! I am new to this forum after my husband told me how funny and smart all of you are. Obviously Keegan is my favorite skater, I felt the same way you did Brenda about him leaving the US, but God preaches that forgiveness is important and Keegan is so darn cute in that cowboy hat that I can't help forgiving him. But no cigarettes for me, yuck!

Anyway, my Olympic wish is for him to have a great Olympic experience and show us the Olympic spirit with his cowboy hat. Do you think he will get to skate in the team event? I like him so much more than that Patrick Chan.

Amazing username. I’m jealous.

 

[jbuckbee]

1. Great programs for Adam Rippon, Hubbell/Donohue, and Mirai Nagasu.
2. Hubbell/Donohue to medal.
3. Fair judging.
4. Chock/Bates to beat the Shibutanis.

 

[Flip Jump]

Nathan Chen to medal, Miria to land 3A and Charlie & Julianne to place in top 6 and Adam to keep his mouth shut.

 

[joubertelegant]

It would be criminal if they dont give Aliona the gold this time. She and Massot had better win unless they have 2 falls and Sui & Han skate perfectly. I will be furious otherwise. She deserves it just for her career, plus she should have won in 2010 already.

This is not an idividual discipline. She might deserved gold but she AND Massot have been riding on her name and reputation that she established with Robin (and then crapped on him with Steuer) since they debuted.

I agree, Massot is not near the skater Szolkowy is. Still if they skate like the GPF they have a good case of not only winning gold but deserving it.

Along with Tanith Belbin, as previously mentioned by a poster above, there's also Christina Carreira, who has won international medals at the junior level for the U.S. with her partner and, if they stay together and continue to progress as they have been, will likely do the same as a senior competitor.

oh, it is true, Christina is Canadian. I still think they should try compete for Canada.

We would take them gladly!

 

[Holy Headband]

Clean, inspired performances from Aliev, Chan, James/Cipres and Kostner, Mishin K&C awkwardness with Kostner, happy Lambiel footage, gold for Papadakis/Cizeron, no gold for Hanyu or Zagitova.

 

[zigzig]

Men: Chen wins gold with a commanding undeniable performance, Fernandez gets second and Hanyu third
Ladies: Fair, intelligent judging based on performances and not rep (lolz) - a ferocious podium battle with immaculate skates among the projected final 6 (Med, Zag, Sots, Miyahara (or maybe even Sakamoto post 4CC?), Osmond and Kostner)
Pairs: n/a
Dance: Shibs take home a medal

I'm in very much agreement here. I'm going to add Mirai and Bradie to the list, however. The Olympics are always unpredictable to a certain point, and we may just have a surprise waiting to happen.

 

[GreenGan]

P/C gold.
Javi on the podium.
Medvedeva for the gold.
The US dance team that is not in the team event wins the Oly bronze.
