No way Plushenko is coming back. Didn’t Weir announce retirement? No way Plushenko is coming back.

I think you left out several points. -You didn't remotely mention Daisuke Takahashi, Johnny Weir or Jeremy Abbott. Takahashi currently holds the world records for highest total score and highest free skate under COP. Even though he took the season off due to injury, I believe he is one of the top contenders for the Gold medal. Johnny Weir topped Evan Lysacek in every single competition this season except for US Nationals where he was competing ill. While his transitions are not up to par with some of the top contenders, you shouldn't count him out. Jeremy Abbott is both the Grand Prix Final Champion and the US National Champion. His 4CC and World's efforts were not up to par with what he can usually do but this season he has found consistency to complement his already sublime choreography. -While Mroz looked pretty good jumpwise at Worlds and Nationals, I think he needs more time to develop and will not be Olympic ready. -As long as Oda can finally read a rule book he should be a contender (He did an extra combination which did not count at Worlds 2009. That was at least the fourth time did that) -Keep in mind that Plushenko might return. To me it seems as though you’re basing your predictions solely based on the World Championships.
