Hopes for the Season?

What does everyone hope for in the coming season? Who do you want to win? Who do you want to lose? Who do you wish would jump off a bridge? LOL just kidding. So, let's have at it!

Honestly, there's nothing this season I'm crazy about. Almost all the vets are gone. I suppose my main hope is that the newcomers kick butt and prove themselves worthy of the legacy their predecessors have given them.

Are O&D still competing? I've heard so many rumors that they retired but nothing official yet. I know R&J retired, and even though Timofei is back from Iraq, Williams & Lovell are through supposedly. No idea if we'll see them skate singles or not. I think Ugarov turned pro too, didn't he? Rodowsky still skates eligible but he's nothing special. Danil, as much as I love him, is getting old. *yawn*

Anyone else coming back?

There have been whisperings that Sasha may come back for the latter half of the season. Apparently he has been seen working on a short program with Spanish music alongside Sveta.

By the way she is due in a few weeks so there will soon be a Little Little Swan!

I think Anastasia is still competing, and so's O/D...which is ridiculous. O/D are, what, 25 and 28? That's just too old, give it up already!

Yup!

"From Sasha and Sveta's Website, The Swans' Nest:

November 7, 2007

"Sveta and I are proud to announce the birth of our son, Dmitri Alexandrovich Dupont. Born on November 5 at 7:15 P.M., he weighed five pounds and eleven ounces. Both mother and son are doing very well, and were able to leave the hospital a few days later. It has been an incredible experience to watch Mitya's every waking moment as we welcome him into our family and truly get to know him.

We would also like to thank our family, friends, and fans for their love and support. It has made this already very special occasion even more meaningful.
