Which skater(s) had the most memorable/dramatic/successful comeback? I have listed as many as I could think of, but I have also included an "other" option so that anyone can feel free to discuss one I've failed to remember.

BronzeisGolden said:I thought Todd should have won the 2001 World Silver as well...but oh well! At least he made it to the podium....though he did have some very strange marks (especially in the SP).
That's just crazy talk. Any lady who could pull off a 3flip/3toe combo, a 3 axel and steps into a 3Lutz in a SP, back in 01 no less, would have become a houshold name overnight. Forget the axel, even in 05 if a lady does a 3flip/3toe combo and then step into a 3Lutz, I expect her to win the SP in Moscow hands down.Vash01 said:His jump combination was triple flip-triple toe! Even the ladies were doing a more difficult jump (3lutz) for the combo (though most did only a double toe or a double loop).
