Olympic Sports:

Figure Skating.

It's a week to the World Championships, and I can hardly late wait! There are so many current questions going on about what will happen, and what's great is that there seems to be a geniune competition in every field-but pairs.

Will Daisuke Takahashi finally live up to his promise? Or will the struggling Joubert surprise everyone and defend?

In the ladies gold and silver should be between Mao Asada and Yu-na Kim. However, who knows, wasn't gold suppose to go to one of those girls last year? There are many questions sadly about both girls. Mao is currently training coachless, and nobody has won a world or Olympic title without a coach. As for Yu-na, she's been dealing with injuries, so nobody can really be sure about where she's at.

Who knows perhaps the rest of the ladies, will surprise? Will Miki finally land her elusive quad? And what about the fight for bronze. It should be interesting with Carolina Kostner, Miki Ando, Joannie Rochette, Yukari Nakano, and Kimmie Meissner all clawing for it. The fight for bronze just might be more interesting then the fight for gold, and I'm willing to bet that the bronze medalist will be happier than the silver medalist.
