Who should skate LAST in the COI?

[Joesitz]

There are no medals for Kwan, so who should skate in that coveted spot?

[Mathman]

Well, I voted for my girl Michelle. So did Tom Collins. (Michelle closed the Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando shows.)

No medals, but she won the Marshalls popularity contest, so there you go, LOL.

She's the master and very, very well like so she should close out the show. She has represented the USA so very well in the last 10-12 years than any other person so give her that acknowledgement. She isn't even my favorite but I love her just the same.

[Kasey]

I would agree with Michelle; but since it's an American tour, and she's reigning world champion, I think Kimmie would be appropriate also.

Michelle should..."one of the most decorated figure skaters of all time"...

I didn't vote for Michelle, but I have no doubt that it will be her spot until she so chooses to not have it... or someone comes close to her star status (at least in Collins' pocketbook's eyes)

Who is the skater most are paying to see? Michelle

Who is the only skater I will sit through the hoola hoop girl & clowns to see? Michelle

Money trumps Medals... to quote Purple Rain: "This here is a business"

[Piel]

Kwan has stuck with Collins for years now. I think he appreciates her loyalty to the tour. That aside, whoever TC wants to close should close.

I could not decide between Plushenko and Kwan. Plushenko is the current Olympic champion, and 3-time world champion. Kwan has no medals in the last two years but she is an icon, especially in the US. I think it will be very appropriate to give her that last spot as an honor. However, Plushenko is equally worthy of it.

This is exactly my tought too.

I voted Stephane Lambiel, mostly because "Stephane Lambiel in Red Underwear" wasn't an option.

I voted for Shizuka, since she's Olympic champion.

[Dee4707]

I voted for Shizuka because she is the reining Olympic Champion. To me it shoudl be decided on by protocol.

Without having read the comments of others....

I vote "Shizzy" because then those people who only came to see Michelle (whom I do like) will hopefully be gone and I can get a clear picture of the Ina Bauer that people rave about but the camera operators keep missing the shot! (dreaming that I actually had tickets, of course!) Then, I could also get my car out of the parking lot without too much of a wait!
