Midori should have 100% of the votes here.
Some posters may not be that familiar with Midori ( they may have voted for younger skaters).

That goes beyond polls. Young posters have no idea how much the earlier skaters contributed to figure skating and how well they peformed for their era of skating. Even when they see skaters from the 50s and 60s in film clips they compare them to Mao and Yu na. That's the way the mind works.Vash01 said:Some posters may not be that familiar with Midori ( they may have voted for younger skaters).

In terms of number of jumps completed, the quality of the jumps and in being the first to land certain jumps she was just off the charts. No one was in her class as a jumper when she was competing (the closest was Yamaguchi but as consistent as she was with toe jumps her edge jumps were kind of iffy).
