Can you guys help me with this question: What make a refined skater?
Some skaters are great jumpers but have bad postures (Ie: Irina, Hanyu), some skaters perform and feel the music very well but not famous for their jumps (Ie: Daisuke, Jason), some skaters have beautiful lines but often fell in their LP (Ie: Sasha Cohen). Some are very consistent and have lots of charisma but rarely have creative programs... Everyone have their strength and shortcomings. If so, then what exactly is the definition of refinement in skating?
I am very confused about this matter. If refinement come with experience and ages, then can we call some veterans "refined skaters" despite the fact that they still have weak nerves (Jeremy) and couldn't perform cleanly lots of times?
Thanks all in advance!
