I guess it depends on what we mean by "dominant." Win one, lose one, win one, lose one, is not domination.
Let's say a skater is dominant in his/her era if that skater wins four world championships in a row, plus an Olympic gold medal.
Dominant single skaters: Carol Heiss, Sonia Henie, Herma Szabo
Scott Hamilton, Hayes Alan Jenkins, Dick Button, Karl Schaefer, Ulrich Salchow.
This is true. Nobody in modern times, and the post figures days has truly dominated figure skating in the true sense of the word. Well not singles anyway. The closest would be Browning who won 4 Worlds titles in 5 years, but no Olympic medal so no. Oh I guess Yagudin who won 4 Worlds in 5 years and the Olympic Gold. He is the ONLY one who truly has.
