It's very close between B&S and G&G. I voted for B&S.

I voted for B & S, but I didn't see G&G until I pressed send. G&G are untouchable when it comes to pairs.

Gotta vote for B&S! I'll be a devoted fan till the day I die!

 

[Teresa Dawn]

I voted for Rodnina & Zaitshev, as I was a huuuge fan of their skating. Of course I´m a fan of other pairs skaters also: G & G, B & S, Kazakova & Dmitriev and these days Shen & Zhao

I voted for Artur and Natalia... pity their career couldn't have lasted longer, Oksana did her best but in my eyes she was never a match for Natasha.
At Lillihammer I also loved the routine of G&G, but if I had to choose I preferred the passion of Artur and Natalia... too bad 2 of the best ever pair performance had to go head on...

If I would rank them by my favorites: M&D, B&S, K&D/G&G
If I was to rank them by being the best the list would go: G&G, B&S, M&D.

ITA. It is unfortunate that they were only on the World Championship scene for a few years. It would have been interesting to see how they would have developed had their partnership would have lasted a bit longer.
I know I am a fan, so I'm probably biased, but I felt as if they were never as appreciated in their native Russia like they should have been.
Which is a pity, because they did a lot to help continue the Russian dominance on pairs skating. :boohoo:
But, seriously, they were awesome skaters.

too bad 2 of the best ever pair performance had to go head on...

I know-but how sweet was it for us skating fans to see two of the best pair teams EVAH go head to head in the Olympics?!

I liked K&D but I always liked M&D more. They were sublime. In the 1994 Olympics I wish they could have awarded two gold medals. I felt that M&D delivered a better skate than G&G but still it was hard to choose between those two pairs.

Still, my vote for this poll went to- you guessed it- B&S!
