Since I made a thread about Dream Podiums/Wishes at Europeans, it's only fair to have one for Four Continents as well. It may not have the history or prestige of Europeans, but in recent years it's become even more competitive in some disciplines.
My Dream Podiums/Wishes:
Men: 1. Joshua Farris 2. Han Yan 3. Takahito Mura (So many guys I'm rooting for, so it's difficult to choose... but I feel that Josh and Han Yan need the momentum most. As for Mura, I've come to like him as a skater, despite not liking his programs; I'd like to see him have strong skates here and at Worlds).
Ladies: 1. Rika Hongo 2. Zijun Li 3. SoYoun Park (I also like Satoko Miyahara, but Zijun and SoYoun seriously need the boost after a rough season).
Pairs: Chinese sweep of Pang/Tong, Sui/Han, Peng/Zhang. If Sui/Han can land a clean 4S throw, that'll be a bonus.
Ice Dance: Not a lot of interest here, except I want Weaver/Poje to win.
Less realistic than my Europeans wishes (which mainly came true ).
