I have to say Bonaly, she beat all the top competitors of her generation and won so many titles outside of Worlds and Olympics. Plus, of those who did not win she came the closest (missed '93 5 judges to 4, '94 5 to 4, and I think '95 5 to 4). Of course, she did not have good fundamentals and would have scored poorly under COP, but she was unique and I appreciate that she never tried to conform to what others expected her to.
I agree. She came close to winning at least twice. She was a great show skater and very popular with the audiences. She had her unique style, though I wish she had worked on her edges. I would have liked to see her win a world title because she really challenged herself athletically.
