Welcome, Ice Angel! My favorite isn't on the list, but then he won his gold medal long before you were born.
If you ever find any old tapes of Robin Cousins - eligible or pro - you're in for a treat.

None of my favourites are on the list...tho I like Kwan quite a bit.
I'm afraid you'd need a list several pages long to please everyone here!
In fact, we'd need a league table of polls, with lots of sections (e.g. best N. American singles male, 1990-2000 or best European pairs, 2000-2004...) then make polls for the winners of each poll, so: overall best N.A. male, best Euro pairs etc, then do another poll of those winners...until we get 4 overall winners! And an overall winner for them, if we feel like it.
it's the only way to go! (but i'm not volunteering!!
)

I have to admit...I voted for Joubert, not because I like him much, but on the pissed-off impulse that he was the only non-American skater in the poll.
Now I love many American skaters - but this poll is just a little biased!!! I mean, really - no men's world champ?
If it were labelled as "favourite American skater", there would not be a problem, but as it is, it's somewhat nationalistic.
Sorry, I know it's silly, it just annoys me....:\

My favorite isn't in the list either.
Brian Joubert got the honor of being the only non-American skater in the list, good for him

Ice Angel is new to GS, and is a teenager. Please remember the rest of us here do love non-American skaters as well
Ah...sorry if I was a bit harsh there Ice Angel!
It's very hard to include skaters everyone might like, but this is an international message board, people from all over post here, so tastes range widely - that's part of the fun.
Do stick around, hope you like it.

yah, please don't be harsh at me. It would only let me post 10 skaters. and those were the ones that came to my mind......
If this is a poll about favourite US-skaters the poster should've called it this way ... 
oooups, at least Brian Joubert is in it, WOW! 
Of course I've voted for him!!!
And a poll without Yags, without Plush, without Shen/Zhao??? Puh-leaze!!!!
