haro - OK, I just watched the video - I had never heard the name until I saw it here. She is quite lovely - I would say definitely elegant - her layback spin is gorgeous. I would have to see her skate in a competitive event, but my guess is that she is not accomplished enough in athletic elements to be already well known internationally. Very nice, though, I can see why you admire her.

I just saw Lynn's Blue Danube for the first time, and it is the most elegant performance by a Ladies skater that I've ever seen.
Mea culpa maxima, Janet Lynn.

No Sasha Cohen, Angela Nikodinov, Chen Lu, and a few others (Yukina Ota has been mentioned in the discussion, and she is one of my faves)? However, I understand that you were limited by the number of choices allowed. I would not have listed Tara Lipinski among the elegant and artistic, but it's a matter of opinion.

Absolutely... Yukina Ota is truly a special skater... She is the best example of why its impossible to get excited about these young skaters whose bodies have not been tested yet... such a shame... I so hope she comes back healthy and strong for this coming season, so I have a reason to get excited about skating again... because right now, I'm just excited to have GS as a break from work...

Yukina competed at the Broadmoor Open competition that was held last week and came in 4th overall (Rachel Flatt won the ladies competition). There was a live webcast and a few posters from FSU have written reviews on the event. It seems like Yukina is still recovering from injury and has not gotten her triples back beyond the toe and the salchow. But I'm still just so glad that she has not given up on eligible competitions and still seems to be working towards a come back! Here's hoping her injury completely heals and we all get to see the wonderful new programs of hers (based on posters' description at least)!

elegance and art are for me perfectly represented by Carolina : her style develops every year better ; talking about the past, for me Katarina Witt's skating was unique.
How are Sarah Hughes and Tara Lipinski on this and no Sasha or Kristi?
I voted for Michelle simply because she's my favorite, but I don't really think you can quantify who is more artistic... It really is a matter of taste and personal preference. Many skaters have great presentation and it's clear that they feel the music... but they skate with very different styles, ie Michelle Kwan and Sasha Cohen.

I have to say that, imo, the words Tara and elegance should never be in the same sentence.
Now that I have that out of the way, I voted for Oksana. I also think Michelle Kwan, Fumie Suguri, and Sasha Cohen are wonderfully elegant. I love watching all of them.

When it comes to artistry and elegance - maybe Michelle Kwan. But I consider Irina Slutskaya's programs to be very artistic and technical too. Fumie Suguri too.

yeah, I agree about Mai Asada, but, for me, Sasha is a great artistic skater..I just wish she'd be more consistent with her jumps...Alissa Ciszney is also one to reckon with as well.
