As a fan of figure skating, it would be impossible for me, personally, not to have favorites. I have a lot of favorite skaters in all fields but mostly in ice dance and pairs. Of course when they compete I would like them to win and do get nervous watching a competition, but I know they can't win all the time and some of my favorites have never won a World medal or Olympic medal. I also like to root for the underdog. I do not like all the fluff that ABC televises during competitions, but that is the only way I can watch figure skating. I can't afford to go to live competitions. Maybe someday in the future. I also don't like the bias of the commentators, which for me, makes me just as upset as seeing one of my favorite skaters lose.
