Believe me, I fully understand why certain skaters like Plushenko, Cohen and Kwan are among the best, and winning the medals.
But they don't (always) touch a chord in my heart the way they clearly do for many people. Other skaters do that for me.
That doesn't mean I think those other skaters should be winning the medals, however much I'd love it, I accept they are not as good. I just happen to like them better. I "get" them in a way I don't "get" others. That's ok, isn't it? I mean, it's not like I can help it!
Having said that, I'd *like* to learn to "get" other skaters, which is why I like reading this board - an interesting range of opinions.
