2011 GS Skater of the Year

[Spun Silver]

The year is almost finished. Which skater was most glorious, had the most amazing comeback, capped a great career most convincingly, or made the most dazzling entree?

(Sorry, I should have left an "other" category but I only had 10 slots and I needed them all!)

well "scott virtue and tessa moir" is nice indeed. I voted for kostner as she came back after 2 years even stronger, with no care for rumors (italian rumors of course) and critics, with humility and grace (sorry for the quote...). She is a simple girl who wants to pursue her passion and goes on fighting against everything.

: Oh, shoot. Sorry, Scott and Tessa. My hubby was bugging me to help him get an air-conditioner out of a window and I rushed this poll a little bit. Mods, can you fix that? because I don't see that I can.

as you wish (btw, you did the same thing with Davis and White)

Heaven help me! See, this is why I stick to initials. At least I'm not biased! Thanks for fixing it, Toni!

Patrick Chan is my skater of the year.

 

[OS]

I vote for Hanyu, the future of skating. Fantastic senior debut in difficult personal circumstances and one of the strongest and most competitive/deep field of Men's in years.

I can't wait for WC for the mens especially with Plushy coming back!

Sounds like you're into the future and the past.

2011 belonged to Patrick Chan.

alissa should have been on this list!

 

[verte76]

Yeah she should have been!

 

[verte76]

I voted for Davis and White but I would have liked to voted for Alissa!

 

[Spun Silver]

And it's Chan in the homestretch!

 

[verte76]

So Chan won the poll!

 

[dorispulaski]

Likely, but the poll is still open for 5 more days (closes 2/12)

 

[Selene]

Davis/White
