* I have to remind myself that he's not responsible for the marks he gets. When he's clean, he's amazing to watch. I'd have given the world title to Denis Ten and was shocked more than once by Chan's marks. Still, not his fault.
Well,I like many skaters but these are the best for me:
Ladies: Ashley Wagner
Men: Daisuke Takahashi
Pairs: Volosozhar/Trankov, Savchenko/Szolkowy
Dance: Davis/White
Ladies:
Akiko, Kanako and Radionova
Men:
Oda, Farris and Fernandez. (I actually enjoy Chan skating but his scores annoy me)
Pairs:
Savchenko/Szolkowy Stolkova/Klimov and the two canadian pairs
Ice Dance:
All canadians (V/M, W/P and G/P), Ilynkh/Katsalapov, Capellinni/Lanotte and Hurtado/Diaz (their FD this year )
Ladies:
Tara Lipniski, Sasha Cohen, the very brief career of Naomi Nari Nam, Julia Lipnitskaia, Akiko Suzuki
Men:
Scott Hamilton, Todd Eldredge, Maxim Kovtun, Jason Brown, Alexei Yagudin
Pairs:
Shen & Zhao, Gordeeva & Grinkov (this is based purely off Youtube clips- but they are amazing to watch), Ina &Zimmerman; Sikharulidze &Berezhnaya, I feel so sad for them w/the whole SLC debacle, they skated incredibly well and their OGM is generally talked about in a negative way like they didn't deserve it.
