I agree. I haven't been so excited about a male skater since Alexei Yagudin. Talk about having it all. But I see that Adam Rippon is winning ... not surprising he's is undoubtely seen as the hope for U.S. men's skating. And all that is fine. But the part me that loves superheros wants to see Takahashi win three more world golds and then the Olympic gold.:thumbsup:
Takahashi for sure, he's really come close to perfection in the last year and I think he's the best guy out there right now, but also Brezina because he showed a lot of promise last year. Annnd Shawn Sawyer because I just like him, haha.
I would have to say Jeremy. He is the top U.S. man, with Johnny and probably Evan out of the picture this season. It will be interesting to see if he can bring the house down at Nationals and Worlds.
I am a big fan of Daisuke, so obviously I am so delighted that he's competing this season - he was implying that he wouldn't before the Olympics - and excited. I love both of his programmes this season - they can be masterpieces.
However, I voted Joubert! I saw his new free on youtube and OMG he's really pushing himself this season! Trying something new and all. I think Beethoven's 9th Symphony is a great choice for him and if he pulls it off, it can be spectacular.
"Taka" K. , Adam, Jeremy, Armin, Michal Brezina (hope he has a speedy recovery), Keegan (nationally, isn't he still competing as a junior on the international level?)!
Interesting to see that Oda gets results in the record books but fails to excite. Why is that?
Brezina is handicapped by being out this season but clearly he will have his time to 'excite' someday soon.
This poll was set up before the season got underway. People probably feel quite differently now. A new poll would be interesting.
As a researcher of stock market cycles and a contrarian investor, I see people have voted the same way most invest, by going with what is hot at the time and by sentiments - facts, trends, and factors be damned.
