Which skaters do you find extremely boring?

[All that Jazz]

So, which skaters make you snooze?

I'm aware this poll is a little bit delicate, but since threads like "Least favourite skaters" and "Most overrated skaters/programs" at "The Edge" didn't turn out into bashfeasts I'm quite optimistic this here is allright. If not, the administrator may delete this poll right away!

I hope the selected skaters are correct; I've chosen those which have been mentioned mostly in a "boring" context. And, hey, if you're a fan of one or several of these skaters, PLEASE! don't take it personally!!! It doesn't mean "your" skater/s is/are really boring. Like everything in skating it's only a (subjective) matter of personal taste.

Multiple choices are allowed; and feel free to use the "Others" option!!!

Petrova/Tikonov, Timothy, Michael, Todd Eldredge.

All That Jazz - I think I am speaking for all the moderators in saying that certain titles require careful watching. Those you mentioned and this one. glad you pointed it out. Thanks.

It's a tie between Maria Petrova & Alexei Tikhonov and Tatiana Todmanina & Maxim Marinin. It's been a long time since there hasn't been even one Russian pairs team I enjoy watching.

I agree about P/T, but this season I did not find T/M boring at all. Unfortunately, their skate at Worlds was indeed rather uninspired, but their performance at GPF was, I thought, truly exciting.

I go along with the skaters mentioned above, minus Maria Butyrskaya (always loved her divalike behavour), Mikey Weiss (I just feel pity for him) and Todmanina/Marinin (I still give them the credit to improve and maybe have more fun on ice). Personally I'd add Elvis Stojko, Paul Wylie and Surya Bonaly to the list.

Totmanina/Marinin. They have good technical skills, but if these are (and I think they will be eventually) our future World Champions, they will need to seriously improve on expression/artistry. Tatiana, you could smile once in a while!!!

Well, I see that Petrova and Tikhonov have passed Michelle for the title of Most Boring. Come on, everybody, let's get Timmy G. up to his rightful place.

[Eva-Elena]

Maria Petrova & Alexei Tikhonov, Tatiana Todmanina & Maxim Marinin, Todd Eldredge, Michelle Kwan and Timothy Goebel, and personally I'd add Elvis Stojko and Yoshie Onda. (Good thing you can choose for more than 1 answer )

P/T, Todd and Nancy.

(sorry for submitting too quickly :D)

I agree with Eva-Elena about Yoshie Onda.

I don't find Goebel that boring. Especially after 2003 Worlds. And even before that his technical skills were enough to hold my interest. But that's me.

The skaters I find, more or less, boring (that I can remember right now):

Maria Petrova & Alexei Tikhonov
Nancy Kerrigan
Maria Butyrskaya
Tara Lipinski
Jennifer Robinson
Totmianina & Marinin (with the exception of their SP, where he wore that costume with leaves; I really enjoyed it)
Matt Savoie
Fumie Suguri (with the exception when she's really on)
Michelle Kwan (with the exception when she's really on)
Scott Hamilton (lately)

The skaters who used to bore me to tears, but no more:
Todd Eldredge

Joubert leaves poor Todd far behind - his programmes bore me to death, not to tears
