Should flexibility be awarded as it really has nothing to do with skating per se?

Is it possible to become a great skater (podium finisher) with exceptional line and extensions, but without exceptional flexibility?
 
If you've got all the other things, yes, you can be a podium finisher. You'll need great edges, strong jumps and spins, and speed and power. I've finished on the podium at ANs without a spiral in my program before!
