The Hottest Male Skater

[Sk84lif3]

Who do you think is the hottest male skater?

Timothy Goebel
Brian Joubert
Evgeny Plushenko
Johnny Weir
Stephane Lambiel
Evan Lysacek
other-please specificy

[AshBugg44]

That's easy - Evan Lysacek!

[russiet]

Define what you mean by "hottest". :twisted:

[Sk84lif3]

Define what you mean by "hottest". :twisted:
huh? im confusedddddddd

[Mel On Ice]

Savoie gets the shaft again?! He put me permanently on his bandwagon this weekend.

[Artemis]

Am I right in assuming from this list that it's restricted to current Olympic-eligible skaters? Because I wouldn't pick any of those. I'd vote for Steven Cousins, David Pelletier, or John Zimmerman (depends largely on what they're wearing ;) ).

Of current eligible skaters, if I have to pick just one I gues I'd say ... Fedor Andreev.

And there should be a special sub-category for skaters who think they're the hottest -- that would be Philipe C., with Yags and Mikey W. as runners up.

[dbny]

Jeffrey Buttle!

[starskate6.0]

Didn't see it I was flying :frus: Tell me Johnny Weir finaly got an outfit that fits him.....:frus:

[Shinn-Reika]

I guess I can't answer this one, I'd vote for myself! Just kidding. I do think that the hottest female skater is Irina S. It's something about the double beilman, I swear. And she has a nice heart shaped smile.

[sk8er1964]

Well, if it's who I think is the hottest skater , then it's Weir. However I assume you meant the sexiest guy. From your list I'd say Joubert.

[Blosmbubbs]

Maxim Staviski is the hottest of the hot!!

[Vicki]

John Zimmerman, without a doubt! I just oggled him at SOI on Saturday night. Geez, he's hot!

[purplediane]

I did not mean to post this twice, so if I did--please forgive me as a newbie.

John Zimmerman, and forgive my spelling here--Gwendal Peizerat.

Johnny Weir is also kind of doing it for me in an odd (fey) sort of way

[purplediane]

Gotta add Ilia Klimkin--anybody know if he is still injured?

[Andie]

John Zimmerman. Oh, and if this thread includes pairs guys - I also think Garrett Lucash is good looking. (you know... the one who skates pairs with Katie Orscher) He looks somewhat of Russian descent if you ask me, but I don't THINK he is... :??

[TRAxel]

Fedor Andreev!!!

[NJSk8Fan]

I chose "other"....
I voted thinking you meant "hottest" as in "looks/personality/charm" etc....and my vote goes to Kurt Browning.

From your list, I'd say Buttle, but I'm a little too "mature" for him....if you meant hottest SKATER as in how the skater skates, then I think I'd pick Weir.

[Sk8n Mama]

Craig Buntin of Marcoux and Buntin (Canadian pair)!

[Sk84lif3]

oh i meant the looks

[tangos]

Hard to choose; Fedor, Aaron Lowe, Markov, Poje, Lauson, Buttle

[Casey]

I wish I looked as good as Johnny Weir. I love his blue outfit in these pictures: http://www.figureskatersonline.com/johnnyweir/gallery20042005.html

But I wouldn't dare wear it unless I was really good.

[dbny]

I chose "other"....
I voted thinking you meant "hottest" as in "looks/personality/charm" etc....and my vote goes to Kurt Browning.

From your list, I'd say Buttle, but I'm a little too "mature" for him....if you meant hottest SKATER as in how the skater skates, then I think I'd pick Weir.

And I was thinking hottest only among competitive skaters. Otherwise, my vote goes to Kurt Browning also.

I don't see Buttle on the list. Which of us is mistaken?

[WeBeEducated]

Joubert is a good looking guy, very confident and manly on and off the ice.

The only current male skater in American seniors that I think is goodlooking is Ryan Bradley, on and off the ice.

Johnny??? 8O 8O Lord NO! He looks soft and girlish, and wears frilly sparkly costumes with hearts and ribbons. that is the opposite of a hot guy to me. :lol:

Evan's ok off the ice, good looking on the ice.

Tim is ordinary.

Weiss...best body by far.

[flippet]

Johnny Weir is also kind of doing it for me in an odd (fey) sort of way

Oh, totally. Which is not to say 'feminine'...I disagree with WBE here. I find Johnny's skating very fluid and beautiful, and that's not something to be restricted to females. But I also think he's hot...even though I get a few fey vibes too...which have nothing to do with his skating or his costumes, incidentally. (Frankly, I think his costumes are perfect for the music he chooses.) But then, there are a number of queer guys that I think are very hot, so that's not unusual. It's not like hotness is restricted to the straight, after all. (Disclaimer...I have no knowledge of Johnny's orientation, nor do I care.)

Joubert is also a hottie, and I'm kind of liking Ben Agosto as well. I think it's the rakish grin--not to mention sheer, unadulterated talent. :D

[Artemis]

Well, after Canadians this weekend, I have to add Arseniy Markov to my list. Very easy on the eyes ... esp. since his hair isn't quite so long and floppy any more.

[Sk84lif3]

Johnny??? 8O 8O Lord NO! He looks soft and girlish, and wears frilly sparkly costumes with hearts and ribbons. that is the opposite of a hot guy to me. :lol:
i agree!! hes really girly especially with the costumes and the hair! blech!

[doubletoe]

Add me to the John Zimmerman drool fest!
And M. Weiss isn't bad, either (just a little too "perfect". Makes it hard to believe he's straight!)

[doubletoe]

. . . But if I were a gay guy instead of a straight woman, I would have a major crush on Johnny Weir.

[Artemis]

And M. Weiss isn't bad, either (just a little too "perfect". Makes it hard to believe he's straight!)

Nooooo! Don't say that! You'll force him to launch yet another campaign of parading around his wife and kid, and showing us pictures of his bed, and who knows what else to prove his masculinity. :roll:

[LittleBitSk8er]

John Zimmerman :halo:

[LittleBitSk8er]

Add me to the John Zimmerman drool fest!
And M. Weiss isn't bad, either (just a little too "perfect". Makes it hard to believe he's straight!)

The correct term for Weiss is metrosexual..........
A straight guy who likes to be pampered like a woman, not a bad thing either people....:)

[uncfigsktr]

Alexei Yagudin!!! When he took off his shirt during his exhibitions at the 2002 Olympics, you had to pick my jaw up off the floor. What a body!!

[mary]

. . . But if I were a gay guy instead of a straight woman, I would have a major crush on Johnny Weir.

But I know a lot of straight women who have a major crush on Johnny Weir.

[purplediane]

Yeah, Alexei Yagudin had something to offer!

[loveskating]

Brian Joubert has the classical good looks and pleasing personality.

Me, I think Johnney Wier is far more interesting and complex...I totally enjoy him on and off the ice.

I think Ilia Kulik is the best looking skater I've ever seen. He is good looking up against Hollywood, could easily be a movie star. He also has huge charisma...walks into the room and fills it up totally, and is even considerably better looking in person than on the screen.

Alexander Abt is also really good looking, but in a 'Little Rascals' kind of way...he has a unique personality that is both lovable and passionate, like Errol Flynn or something.

LOL!! Is it possible to skate with two children strapped to your chest? j/k. (joke, people!)
If you are referring to these men, without regard to personality or anything, then yes, he is nice to look at. (is that generic and non-commital enough?)

[flippet]

But I know a lot of straight women who have a major crush on Johnny Weir.

Well, one doesn't preclude the other, LOL! :lol: How many straight women had (and still have, frankly) crushes on Richard Chamberlain or Rock Hudson, for example? I think Ian McKellen is quite dashing. And you should hear how gay men go on about certain straight men such as Brad Pitt or Hugh Jackman, or Johnny Depp. It definitely goes both ways! :D :lol:

[Koala]

Ryan Arnolds a hottie :D

[nursegal]

but the great ALEXEI YAGUDIN!!! :bow:

[iskatealot]

Of course that would easily have to be Jeff Buttle.......but Brian Joubert is there too......

[iskatealot]

but the great ALEXEI YAGUDIN!!! :bow:
Oups....I 4got him........hes up there with Jeff and Brian

[monica]

brian joubert is so cute. plushenko on the other hand is an ugly guy but has something, i don't know what, that makes him very attractive... he's a very fine man actually, hmmm....does that make sense?

[purplediane]

You know--I never was a fan of Elvis Stojko (bad spelling of last name I am sure) but I saw him yesterday on Brian Boitano's Skating Spectacular, and with both numbers, he had the crowd in his pocket--great energy, feel for the music and an engaging charm. Too bad he has that giant head on that little body--it's very distracting.

[alexeisonfire]

Alexander Abt.

[classcaptain200]

that's not very nice to say

[MannyisHOT]

I need help.... I am totally stuck between Johnny Weir and Other. Other of course would be Emanuel Sandhu. I really don't know what to pick so maybe it would be best if I just didn't vote. HELP!

[caser]

elvis is butt ugly

the gigantic misproportioned head! and that chin doesn't help either. the whole presentation is tacky, ugly costumes, music, etc.

******************************
What makes it okay to be so downright cruel? Oh yeah, anonymity!

[classcaptain200]

this is a lovely board

[sue123]

My vote tends to change from time to time, but I know probably not johnny wier. He just doesn't look all that much like a strong sexy man that I would want to spend time with. I've never met him, but he looks like he'd be stuck up. and I can't stand men in those one piece jumpsuit things. They just don't do much for me.

My vote actually went to Evan Lyse... (yea, I can't spell his last name, you know who I mean though). He's got that boy next door look to him. And he looks really cute for some reason when he does his "Singing in the Rain" number.

Alexei Yagudin has to have one of the best bodies I have ever seen. All this muscle!

[alexisdancn69]

Although Joubert is cute....I would have to still say that Johnny is Hotter..
He has a great attitude about every aspect of life and his smile melts the ice, so now I can go swimming..lol

[caser]

It's not so much that I think Elvis' skating is, and always has been, overrated. It's that he's trying to be something he's not, which is attractive and appealing. When he tries in vain to be sexy, it just comes across as humorous, and I don't think being humorous is his intent. I howled with laughter when I saw him skate in that "other Elvis" inspired outfit because he just looked so hideous in it, especially compared to the other skaters. "Artistic" is a major component in figure skating. I don't care how ugly a basketball player may be - if he scores 30 points and helps his team win, who cares, I'll still be a fan and admire his physical strength. I'll buy a ticket to see that. But I wouldn't shell out bucks to see some butt ugly figure skater. Figure skaters should be physically attractive, and Elvis is even uglier than ever. It helps, but skaters don't all have to be "drop dead gorgeous", movie-star beautiful to be physically appealing. I always thought that Brian Boitano and Scott Hamilton, for example, were more "cute" than handsome - and they still look good and are pleasing to the eye. I'd pay to see them. But, Elvis, I'm sorry man, but he is totally washed-up! The only thing left for him is to play the Mayor of Munchkinland in The Wizard of Oz on ice (hey, not a bad idea!) or other similar roles where his roly-poly build would be intentionally funny, in a b-level tour. Watching Elvis skate is like watching Danny DeVito or Ernie Sabella skate - fine actors, yes - but hunks they're not. I have no use for some over-the-hill, overrated, fat, balding, ugly Canadian figure skater!
So using this reasoning, the following exchange should have occurred when Elvis was a little boy:
COACH: Elvis, I'm afraid you can't come back to the rink any more.
L'IL ELVIS: But why, Coach? I'm the best skater here by far.
COACH: Your point? Hey, I'm trying to be nice, Big Head! You can't be out there on the same ice as little Cindy (name changed to protect the pretty) and young Jimmy (name changed to protect the long, lean and fey).
L'IL ELVIS: But Coach, they spend more time flat on their faces on the ice than they do skating upright.
COACH: Puh-LEEZE! It's all about priorities. You got talent. You got energy. You got drive. You got spirit. You got hit by the ugly stick. So it's buh-bye.
L'IL ELVIS: That's not fair, Coach!
COACH: Who said life is fair? Before you go, here's a paper bag to wear over your head so we can protect the public's sensibilities. Don't say I never gave you nuthin'.

[RXSkater]

M. Weiss isn't bad, either (just a little too "perfect". Makes it hard to believe he's straight!)

Hey! That's straight-bashing! (But how many straight guys would actually be in this chat, anyway...right?) ;)

[classcaptain200]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo

[Beccapoo2003]

Ummm...I don't think Elvis is hot either, but he skates at our rink down here in Alabama and has a house down here to be near his girlfriend, who by the way is very pretty and nice.
Becca

[bladebabe69]

Jeff buttle is the hottest

[Shinn-Reika]

Ummm...I don't think Elvis is hot either, but he skates at our rink down here in Alabama and has a house down here to be near his girlfriend, who by the way is very pretty and nice.
Becca
Owned!(ok sorry couldn't help myself)

And you have to admit that Elvis is so atypical that you can't not love him.
Jeese why does everyone flame the token I'mkindasortainsecuresoi'lldoeverythinginmypowerto tryandproveI'mnotgay skater.

[alex4SA]

I would have to say Abt...although Averbukh is cute as well

[Katherine]

I think the hottest man is a true man: clever, interesting, manly and the most important - charming. And I know at least one who can match this - Zhenya-Zhenechka-Zhen'ka Plushka.
About Buttle and Lysacek - they are cute but very standard. For example, I can hardly remember their looks (but for Lysacek, maybe). Weir is something too. Brian is not bad, but the real excitement is somebody's saying Ugly Plushenko. Well, have you ever met such people like him to judge and compare???

[caser]

I've enjoyed the exchange with CLASSCAPTAIN200 so much that I was diverted and didn't weigh in with my own picks for hottest male skater. (No, Elvis doesn't get my vote here. I like him okay but he's never been a favorite of mine.)
1. Kurt Browning. He's handsome, charming, humorous and immensely talented. He's a perfect combination of manliness and grace.
2. Ilia Kulik. I don't think I have to explain.
3. Fedor Andreev. (Hope I got the name right.)
4. Evgeny Plushenko. I suppose I must explain. To me, he demonstrates power, charisma (YES, IT'S THERE), talent, confidence and hints of humor. In my opinion he has transformed himself from the gawky promising teenager into a manly, incredibly attractive athlete. You don't have to be a pretty boy to be hot! (A change of costumes and choreography would only enhance his look.)
5, etc. In no particular order, the following obvious picks would be: Stephane Lambiel, Stephen Cousins, Alexei Yagudin, John Zimmerman and David Pelletier.

[caser]

It seems there are now two threads going on the subject of hot male skaters, one of which started in 2003. I'm just putting this comment in to get the current 2005 thread back near the top of the list.

[Skatingsarah]

Many of you have great taste ;)! Some of my faves are
1-Brian Joubert - hes is sooo adorable, there is no denying that!!
2- Jeff Buttle - I cant explain it, hes just so cute. Furthermore his skating components make you FALL in love with him more. I just melt, lol!
3- Fedor Andreev - enough said!
4- Andrew Poje- Hes just sooo pretty!!! :bow:
5- Johnny Wier - He's really high up there... I didnt really see it last year but this year he is adorable. It must have been the blue costume that got me like it did a couple of you guys!
6- John Zimmerman - too bad he's married!

[singerskates]

You know, what you said in your post about Elvis is mean spirited. So he's not the twig that once landed 3 axel and quad ttoe competition after competition. Does every person have to fit a pre-exissting mold? Everyone is an individual and shaped differently. I saw Elvis on TV and he looks OK to me.

I guess you'll never want to see an Adult Nationals because not many of us adult skaters are still not in our 20's, few of us are thin, some of us are stalky, some of us have a few grey hairs and there aren't any quad jumps. OH and you certainly don't want to see adult skaters compete at Adult Canadians because were Canadian. I think this is just plain too bad for you.

[crazyaboutelvis]

I enjoy Elvis' skating.I think he's a good looking guy. Everybody ages.Nothing is going to stay the same.Classcaptain200 are you the one who posted on the Elvis discussion board and the Elvis Ezboard about the Brian special?If you don't like him why keep posting about him. :roll:
The other person who is hot is Michael Weiss.

[bleu]

classcaptain200 - now that you have presented your POV regarding all things Elvis.

Care to tell me who would win a poll for the most popular male skater in a mens magazine! the attractive male skaters?

sure... :halo:

At least in this case, Elvis wins hands down. And to think that without the pretty face wins. Oh the horrah!
