After years of watching a million competitions I have seen many great skaters never make it to the top of the mountain. By great skaters I mean someone who had awesome jumps and very good style and spins and looked very promising. Some very very good skaters have gone thru the ranks but due to their inability to be a strong competitor(eye of the tiger) have just simply faded away. Some did achieve a moment of recognition but it always seems like a fluke. I always thought Witt was a skater of mediocre style and technique, but she could always kick ass when it came to competing. I have categorize the following skaters into GREAT SKATERS, COMPETITORS, WHOLE package some are both, but very few. Can you think of others
