Which skater that you grew up with from each Discipline would you want to coach you?

Ok people!!! I've asked you which skater. As well as just which retired skater you would want to have coach you.....Now I want you to name for me the one skater from each Discipline that you grew up with (a skater that you were a fan of when you first became a skating fan) that you would love to have coach you in each of the Disciplines. Please name only 1 skater per Discipline. For me I'd say it would be.....Tara Lipinski = Freestyle

Pairs = Katia Gordeeva

Dance = Not sure.

Ok people....GO!!!!!

Paul Wylie- I used to train with him and the Scotvolds, and he used to run our power skating classes- killer! Not only a fine technician but a very kind man. Has started to prove himself coaching down in NC... it'll be interesting to see some of hils skaters.

I wouldn't trade my coach for the world, that means not even for a retired famous skater!

Me neither, but oh, how I loved working with skaters from the Ice Theatre of New York last year! And I do love having an occasional lesson from someone else, whether or not they were a famous skater.

But I should really, really, love to have Chris Dean choreograph our free dance!

I wouldn't trade my coach for anything either, but if I could have a famous skater from my past co-coach me it would probably have to be Randy Gardner or Robin Cousins. Or Lisa-Marie Allen, who was just so gorgeous on the ice!
