Add me to the list of those who think Kostner should have won gold in 2014.
In terms of Hanyu vs Chan I think Chan made too many mistakes to deserve gold but nobody produced an Olympic champion worthy competition.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I think Goebel should have at least been in second in SLC, and I would have given him way higher technical marks than Yagudin and potentially the gold. He was perfect with 3 quads while Yagudin and Plushenko made errors in their FS but were placed ahead because of de facto better artistry - although Goebel had some lovely transitions and again did THREE quads.
Elvis should have won 1994 hands down.
