Crown them king and queen. Virtue and Moir will be a distant silver it would appear. But I do not think they or Evan are he hardest workers - there are a lot not just them.
Hard to imagine someone who is more hard-working than Evan. There certainly could be; I just haven't heard about all the work ethic details of each skater. Carroll said that Evan would be on the ice for hours and hours on end. Frank would be so concerned that he'd send Evan home. It turns out that Evan merely drove to another rink to continue training, and this is LA where things are far. Mao is another workaholic. She would be on the ice for 6 hours and would continue despite advice to the contrary according to Arutyunyan. Personally, I believe in work smarter, not harder, and Michelle is one of those; she didn't overtrain her body when it wasn't feeling right according to Frank. No one gets to be an elite skater by slumming around, that's for sure. There are those who lucked out once in a while like Bowman by doing minimal training and relying on luck and improvisation, but there's no way any level of success can be maintained by just relying on luck.
D&W's hard work is evident. Their hard work paid off, and they're smart workers. Some skaters can work hard till the moon comes to their doorstep, but you won't see that much improvement in their skating compared to D&W.
