Ladskater, you will like this. :)

Among the nominees just announced for the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame are Karen Magnuson, Brian Orser, and Underhill and Martini.

Also nominated (posthumously) was Nikolai Panin, who won the Olympic Gold Medal in “Special Figures” in 1908 (the only Olympics where special figures was a separate event). He also competed in the 2012 Summer Olympics in pistol shooting.

Here are drawings of some of his special figures (from Wikipedia).

I am wondering why the Figure Skating Hall of Fame nominations come so long after the skaters made success?

I may not be familiar with everyone considered for nomination, but it's a very impressive group of Canadians (and I admit I've got a soft spot for Brian Orser :clap: :bow:). Congrats to all the nominees. :party:
