Oh wow... Please forgive those skaters with discriptives v. names as my memory just isn't what it used to be...
Angela, of course. I almost cried when she didn't make the 2002 team
Jenny Kirk
NNN
Matt Savoie
US Ice Dance as a group pre Belbin & Agosto. Undermarked, under valued and in some cases - flat out cheated
Viktoria - do they get anymore beautiful on ice than her?
Yunika Ota - Probably the greatest skater that never made it. I love this skater - she took my breath away
The French girl with the famous Olympic meltdown. Sometimes the worst thing to happen is a last flight placement
Arguable Additions
Tim Goeble - yes, he did medal at the Olympics and Worlds, but it seemed a bit unfair how his career ended.
Nicole Bobek - mixing spoiled princess w/ bad luck is never a good thing
Tonya Harding - even if she brought it on herself
Emily Hughes - I miss her fiery, TA DA! skating
Fumie - Again, never really appreciated for her actual skating & determination. More for her ability to rise to the occasion
Miki Ando - I know. She's a former World champ. But her talent level is so much greater than those around her, but she never had the za za zu to make a case for herself with the judges.
I didn't include Be Be or Alissa because - well, because I just never felt they wanted the top spot as much as I wanted it for them... Don't get me wrong: I'm a huge fan of Be Be, but still.
