Another "favourite" survey. :)

If you could only pick ONE eligible skater as your favourite from each country... who would it be? For me:

USA - Michelle Kwan
Canada - Emanuel Sandhu
Japan - Fumie Suguri
China - Shen & Zhao
Russia - Evgeny Plushenko
France - Stanick Jeannette
Germany - Silvio Smalun
Great Britain - Sinead & John Kerr
Belgium - Kevin van der Perren
Italy - Faiella & Scali
Bulgaria - Denkova & Staviyski
Ukraine - Grushina & Goncharov
Hungary - Julia Sebestyen (although I also like Viktoria Pavuk)
Finland - Susanna Poykio
Switzerland - Stephane Lambiel

It's hard to pick just one from some of the bigger countries...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Stanick gone pro?

edit - I'm not sure, his website says he's waiting for the decision of his appeal against the french fed before he decides...but I don't know when it was updated last.

agh...if he's eligible, change my vote for Dambier below to him!
