With all respect to Maria I'd like my perf skater to have Yuna's dresses.

Agreed. Yuna and Nicole Bobek probably had the best costumes of anyone I can think of.

 

[brens78]

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

Also, Mao Asada. Period.

If Satoko had Midori Ito like jumps with a 3A added

More sarcasm? I can't tell.

They are entitled to their opinion. Would love to hear who your selects are since you're criticizing someone else's choices.

Did I critize their choices? :taunt: I pulled my hair because I pulled my hair.

For me the perfect skater is https://youtu.be/qxnWoQq9iMY
:luv17:

 

[Crossover]

I love my favorites as they are, so I won't combine them into one imaginary skater.

The perfect skater in ladies for me is Yuna Kim. Her jumps and musicality are just

If I had to pick only one skater in men, that is Alexei Yagudin. He is the epitome of men's skating for me. :luv17:

 

[plushyfan]

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]

No!!!!! Yuna had enough TRs!!! This is why I liked Yuna's programs so much!!! Beautiful and calm.

 

[Eclair]

the perfect ladies skater:

Yuna Kim's jumps, speed, musicality and nerves of steel
Akiko's Choreography
Sasha Cohen's spin positions and spiral
Mao Asada's step sequence

the perfect men's skater:
Yuzuru's 4loop, 4T, 4S, speed and sense for fair play
Boyang's 4lutz and on-ice competitiveness and off-ice adorability
Nathan's 4flip
Patrick's SS
Jason's Spins
Javi's charm and showmanship

 

[anonymoose_au]

Two pages and no-one's said Plushy?!!!

I'm not even joking, he is the King.

Yuzu's pretty perfect as skater too though.

 

[LadyB]

I'd take the skating 'genes' of Toller Cranston, Patrick, Javi, Yuzu und Evgenia Medvedeva and I think that'll do it for me. :2thumbs:

I'd combine pre-injury Daisuke Takahashi's jumps with later Daisuke Takahashi's artistry and programs. So basically Daisuke Takahashi with combined timeline! :luv17: That's perfection to me.

 

[yume]

My perfect male skater already exists. Yuzuru Hanyu. The jumps, the spins, the artistry. Just some costumes that he should burn.

Kostornaya

 

[Ballade88]

I think the perfect skater already existed for me...... Michelle Kwan :luv17:
She had everything that I love about figure skating.

Mao is pretty close to perfection for me but I guess it would be really cool to combine her grace and beauty with Midori's jumps!

One day i saw a novice girl named Mao Ito. Maybe like her name her skating will be that combination.
