Re: Wow....U.S. Figure Skating launches "greatest ever" bracket

wel it appeared on my wall the day they published it and maybe it was not a problem then to vote,but then i forgot to see who won. I like G/G a lot but were not on my era as a fan so..

anyway these kinds of polls are for fun i guess. Maybe facebook was bored in off season as well

I just saw yuna has 3,862 votes>? :laugh:

Fans of Michelle Kwan are fans of real skating.

Real skating hasn't been around for years.

No wonder her fans wouldn't be paying attention to a poll like this.

hm. G&G had the same skating qualities as Kwan and were just as successful. Gotta say that liking the Kween is a really lame rule for whether or not someone is a fan of "real" skating. :sheesh:

I would argue that Katia & Sergei were more successful, rather than as successful as Michelle. Not a knock on Michelle as much as recognition of a true pair love story, a fairytale competitive career, a tragedy with his life ending so young, and Katia's beauty living on. What a stroy...

Yeah, seriously Blades, how are fans of Kwan fans of real skating moreso than fans of G/G?

Re: Wow....U.S. Figure Skating launches "greatest ever" bracket

I'm just being over-the-top.

Although I think there is some merit in the idea of Yu-Na Kim fans voting against Kwan. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

I don't actually mind Kwan losing to G&G because they were of course amazing. Torvill&Dean or Yagudin defeating Kwan would be fine too.

I think the poll shows that fans of facebook are real fans of real skating

If Kwan had won G&G, she would have met Orser?
Then, why yuna-fans would bother to vote against Kwan at this round? not waiting to use even easier and more understandable and more doubt-free way(voting for Orser) at just next round?

And
yuna-fans are not so clever(the cleverness that I would admire seeing yuna-antis' tools at youtube..) as to think a 'vote against their greatest competitors to ensure their skater will have a easier route in the next round' logic.

YuNa Kim wins again. Just like she wins Olympics, Time 100 polls, costume comparisons, and @ life in general. She should just change her name to YuNa Win.

Michelle Kwan is the greatest for me

Yu-Na is amazing as well

Akiko Suzuki is my number 2 though, she is like MK

Re: Wow....U.S. Figure Skating launches "greatest ever" bracket

It's official.

Yuna is voted as the Greatest Figure Skater of All-Time in the USFSA poll, gathering more than 7,000 votes compared to about 130 for Torvill & Dean.

Yes, this was nothing more than a popularity contest, but the way she absolutely conquered this poll is actually quite amazing.

Congratulations, Queen Yuna!! (I can't wait for the ATS ice show next Friday!!)

I wish I got something from her skating like her fans do.

Re: Wow....U.S. Figure Skating launches "greatest ever" bracket

Hey, 7000 people cn't all be wrong! Go Yu-na! :rock:

My girl only got 200 votes or so.

Oh well, that's what she gets for not having a Twitter account or a Facebook page. As the CoP has taught us, evolve or die.

Re: Wow....U.S. Figure Skating launches "greatest ever" bracket

I am personally VERY surprised that yu-na is that much more popular than Michelle in the US. Are people that Enamoued with her?

Re: Wow....U.S. Figure Skating launches "greatest ever" bracket

I think some people take this poll too seriously..lol
As YunaBliss said, this was nothing more than a popularity contest.

Congrats,Yuna

Re: Wow....U.S. Figure Skating launches "greatest ever" bracket

American's were not the only ones allowed to vote, and you could vote more than once in the polls... kinda like American Idol.
