I agree that Michelle Kwan was the best. But I never thought about including her, so I chose Shizuka Arakawa.
I would consider Kwan being a US skater and representing USA and not any Asian country... Arakawa gets my vote, with Kim and Asada being very close behind.

A tie between Ito and Chen. Kim is likely to join them in the next year or two.

Fumie Suguri would have been my first choice. So many good ones it is hard to pick just one.
1. Fumie Suguri.
2. Lu Chen.
3. Mao Asada,
4. Midori Ito,
5. Yuka Sato
6. Shizuka Arakawa
7. Mikiti Ando

As a biased fan of Yuna
, Yuna comes first, no doubt.
But I realize I like something from every skaters on the list.
OK. I'll go for Yuna, Arakawa, Lulu, Ito.....
(What's the use when I'm voting almost for everyone!!

Is it still correct to say "oriental" ?

:agree:
I will have a hard time to call people "Oriental" because I learn that as being "things from" the Orient. The people I either new as Asians or Chinese, Japanese, etc......... And they were never bothered regardless - that I've known or currently know.
...eta, one person does come to mind that insisted on being called "Asian." IOW she would have considered it an insult to be called "Oriental.".
btw - FF I like your list!!!!!!!

Here is the problem. Where is Asia? Evgeni Plushenko was born in Solnechny, which is in Khabarovsk Krai. This is in the far eastern part of Russia.

This is clearly in Asia, and is in fact farther east than any point in China. So is Evgeni Asian? It appears he is, yet he won the European Championship How do we distinguish what we normally consider the Asian race from the Asian location? :scratch:

I agree there are a number of ladies I would add. I guess that is other, but would have expected to see her on the list????
Glad you added her!
