[Bruinpinoy79]

:D MICHELLE KWAN Definitely my FAVORITE SKATER. Whenever she does feel its time to leave the amateur ranks, I shall become nothing but a casual skating fan. I doubt i'll ever feel as close to a skater as I do with Michelle, and thats because she's invited us to enjoy her just as much as a person as she is a skater, which by far bumps her to the top of my favorite skater list!

[DORISPULASKI]

Pairs: B&S, S&P, I&Z, M&D, the Protopopovs,
Dance: Torville and Dean, the Duchesnays, Usova and Zhulin, Klimova and Ponamarenko, L&T, Watson and Oppegard

Favorite eligible ice dancers: B&K

Favorite pro men: Kurt Browning and Brian Orser
Favorite pro woman: Josée Chouinard
Favorite pro pairs team: I guess now I'd have to say S&P!
Favorite pro ice dancers: Probably D&V, since T&D have retired.

I have to admit most of my favorites are either pro skaters or (sniff!) retired altogether--and, yes, I happen to be Canadian! :)

I tend to be a skat [i:8122cb4f42]ing[/i:8122cb4f42] fan more so than a skat [i:8122cb4f42]er[/i:8122cb4f42] fan but there are some skaters that I particularly enjoy. I have a soft spot for all skaters Canadian, but particularly Brasseur & Eisler, Underhill & Martini (well, maybe not so much him these days), Bourne & Kraatz, Sale & Pelletier, and Lariviere & Faustino, Josee Chouinard.
Yagudin, Laurent Tobel, Klimova & Ponomerenko, Krylova & Ovsiannakov, Gordeeva & Grinkov, Annisina & Peizerat, Moniotte & Lavanchy, come to mind right away. I'm sure there are others.

Pairs: Gordeeva & Grinkov, Berezhnaya & Sikharulidze

My all time favorite skater is Michelle Kwan. It's hard to imagine how her skating and herself are both equally, truly special.
Two other major favs of mine are Alexei Yagudin, and Anton S. & Elena B.
I also love Angela Nikdinov, Fumie Suguri, Takeshi Honda, Evgeny Plushenko, Yuka Sato, Brian Boitano, Paul Wylie, B/K and K/O; I am really looking forward to see Jeff Buttle, Matt Savoie and Stephan Lambiel.

[dieKnuddelige]

[color=green:44b4c72b72]Ladies: Midori Ito tops the list. I love Lu Chen, Kristi Yamaguchi, and Yuka Sato as well (yeah, I'm a sucker for Asians -- he he).
Men: I LOVED Brian Orser and Scott Hamilton. I came to enjoy Brian Boitano's skating after he turned pro. Also LOVED Paul Wylie. Right now, I must say I'm excited to watch Alexei Yagudin.
Pairs: Dmitriev and Mishkutenok. I like most pair skaters coached by Moskvina (Ina and Zimmerman, too).
Ice Dance: None. Never enjoyed this discipline. [/color:44b4c72b72]

[danibellerika]

Here are my favs. I was too lazy to re-write their names so i just copied and pasted this from somewhere else(that explains the explanations).

My faves for men: Plushenko and Yagudin though I like Plush a little more. Plush's technical prowess is awe-inspiring, and I just love his firey presentation. He doesn't try to be too traditional and I like that. Yagudin has a lot of personality on the ice. I prefer Plush's jumps though because they are so tight and straight. I like Goebel because he does quads so well, Abt for his nice presentation, and Lambiel for those spins, and his jumps(when he gets a 3-a, he's going to be dangerous).

My fav ladies: Sasha Cohen. The girl just has this firey aura about her. And her flexibility is just amazing. She's an awsome all-round skater(she just needs a little more consistency.) I like Suguri for her softeness and beauty in her skaing, Onda for her nice jumps(and I'm pulling for that 3-a from her), Kwan for her maturity(I respect her for being in the game and being able to stay on top for so long), and Irina for her powereful skating and amazing jump height.

My fav pairs: B&S because they just ooze artistry. Their "The Kid" performance was a masterpiece. I get a funny feeling inside everytime i see it. S&Z for their AMAZING triple throw and soon to be quad throw. Their artistry is pretty nice too. I&Z because they are alos very awsome. I like K and Parchem because they are just pleasant to watch and they will get far later on in their career. I still think they should have gone to the olys.

Fav Ice dance:B&K becasue of theirawsome presentation and awsome programs. F-P&M because of their attitude. I also like L&T because they are refreshing to see. They will be awsome in the future.

Ha! Ok, It was the year the The World Championships were in Mpls. 98??
Anyway it was the night after he won. My friend and I didn't have tickets, we were just hanging out looking around at the museum and stuff. Well, we saw Alexi and some other guy walk by. I told my friend "He's the one that won last night" Well she took off down the street after him and of course I followed just to see what she was going to do!!! The street he was walking down was night exactly a safe area!

Well she caught up to him and said "You won lst night" he nodded and then she said "Can I have your autograph?" Well, none of us had a pen and the only thing I could find was eyeliner! :roll: Ummmm, he looked a little insulted when I handed it to him!!! I didn't mean it in a bad way of course! So he signed his name and left fast! LOL! My friend gave it to me she thought I wanted it. So I still have that eyeliner autograph!! LOL! I could scan it sometime if anyone wants to see it. Wonder how much I could get for it on EBay? KIDDING! I wouoldn't do that!
