since Yuzu is the current champion , saying that he will win  is not really a "bold" predictions and you have to remember that this an icenetwork article so what do you expect from Americans . ( anyway for me these "predictions" are not really bold lol )

Nah, no need. It should be used for a giggle or two, and that's that. Ignoring stuff like this is the best, they don't get the attention or clicks which is what they're after.

Bold prediction: the entirety of the rational skating fandom form an alliance to overthrow Bianchetti and replaced him with the rightful leader of ISU, Pooh-san.

This irks me, haha. I'm so cynical I see everything as propaganda these days (because I believe in sheeps, since I'm usually one: hype up some skaters enough, degrade another enough, spout enough nonsense by turning a blind eye that some people start to believe it), not that this is...er, exactly what it is (I mean, its just biased predictions, right?). Though it is Olympic season which makes it worse.

 

And you guys scared the heck out of me as I'm reading old threads about the media play against Plushenko. It may or may not affect scores, but I just hate it when the casual viewers start watching with already an opinion formed by someone else's propaganda.

 

Well, there goes my pessimist rant of the day. I need next week to happen already so my mind would be preoccupied and I can stop thinking unproductive thoughts.

Either Pooh-san or Max Ambesi are all right with me. 

I'm at break at work and feel my blood pressure rising up reading the prediction article , is this a joke ? If anything it would serve to motivate Yuzu even more

They did not mention the first four in the WC??? Even Patrick doesn't say he is a gold contender this year?? Can I try some of the stuff that these guys are smoking??

The last 2 articles by icenetwork make me want to throw a tantrum. This is it, isn't it? The propaganda machine in the works for Olympics season? I survived Vancouver and Sochi, mainly by being absolutely ignorant to the skating world as a whole, and only watching competitions, sometimes without commentary. Is it time to regret my decision to pay more attention to how the politics also wreck havoc in this world?
