May add "interpretation" to like, follow the components. And can we mix ladies' and men's qualities?
I love this thread already, trying to pass the time while the Olympic drama doesn't start.

With all respect to Maria I'd like my perf skater to have Yuna's dresses. Also choreo sequence and smile of Mao Asada.

See.. mine is much easier:
Gordeeva and Grinkov

Done. I'm going to eat chocolate now.

Her step sequence and passion is one of the kind. Everybody is always talking about Rach2 but step sequence of Masquerade Waltz had real wow factor. I guess if Mao had better jumping technique on her toe jumps she would be my perfect skater.

If you had the power to create a perfect skater, how would you do it?

Do you mean perfect skater or perfect ladies skater?
For ladies... Evgenia with Sasha Cohen's spin positions and Yuka Sato SS?

(as for perfect skater, I already have mine )

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Maolia Lipnitsada would be her name. She’d be the bomb yo!

 

[tjb]

i'm only taking the spins of alisa lozko and sasha trusova is good to go. my baby is almost perfect already

 

[narcissa]

If you had the power to create a perfect skater, I would create Yuzuru Hanyu

 

[GGFan]

Women: Michelle with an amazing layback and a clear outside edge on her lutz :dev2:

Men: John Curry, nothing taken away or added. I'll give him the gold with three triples even today

Pairs: Gordeeva and Grinkov or Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze are my everything

Dance: The discipline has changed too much! Torvill and Dean once upon a time. Today I'll take Tessa and Scott's steaminess/maturity with Gaby and Guillaume's smoothness

 

[geige]

The correct answer is Satoko Miyahara with a few more inches on her jumps.

Also, Mao Asada. Period.

you guys are so right!!! :agree:

 

[Ic3Rabbit]

Well, Jeremy Abbott, Adam Rippon, Ryan Bradley and Patrick Chan all already exist so.

 

[demarinis5]

Michelle Kwan, Yuna Kim, Carolina Kostner and the Lovely Mao Asada.

 

[rikaquegira]

I guess my perfect skater already exists(Yuna Kim).
But....... really no one is perfect so... A Yuna Kim with more transitions and better spins(like she had in the beginning of her career) would be perfection.
So I guess Yuna Kim + Trusova + Satoko.
Kimsovako Yusandra-san then. [emoji23]

 

[Ylyzybyth]

Oh yeah this is my kind of thing.
Let's combine Yulia and Sasha into one person.

The jump crispness of Alina Zagitova combined with the accuracy of Yuna and the height of Katelyn.

The flexibility and spins and spirals of
Sasha/Yulia

The grace of Yuna

The step sequence of Mao as well as skating skills

The Ina Bauers of Arakawa

The devotion emotion of Evgenia

The interpretation of Satoko

The Carolina induced trance effect

The adorableness & likeability of Mirai

 

[silverfoxes]

Deniss's spins, speed and showmanship, Dmitri's lines, artistry and smoothness, and Plushy's consistency

 

[Maria Victoria]

If you had the power to create a perfect skater, I would create Yuzuru Hanyu

Amen. The closest to being perfect at least. Brings to mind CBC commentator and ice dance coach Carol Lane's comment that Yuzuru has "[Patrick] Chan's [skating] skills, [Boyang] Jin's jumps, [Javier] Fernandez's charisma..." Previously she said, "He's actually almost the perfectly designed figure skating machine. I don't think I ever saw anybody who's so naturally gifted on the ice..." Stephane Lambiel also called Yuzuru "the most complete athlete in figure skating, probably ever."

 

[ks777]

For me, the perfect skater is Yuka Sato.
