During her Tatiana Malinina time while I don't think she ever deserved gold she had the potential to podium. i am sure people will disagree but consider his time and he had a quad and 3axel and amazing style - Emanual Sandu from Canada - there was a Grand Prix where he blew everyone out of the park. Another Canadian who had big jumps and more charm than one should have is Josee Chouinard. She really could have been a world or olympic title contender. She was kind of an early version of Rochette or Osmond for Canada - huge amplitude on those jumps when landed. I won't add Gracie Gold because she still has a chance. I am talking individual medals too not to confuse with team medals.

Ilya Klimkin was a very promising Quadster of his time (first man landing two different quads in the same program).
Perpetual traumas axed his career.

He was very promising in every regard! Super innovative skater with amazing blade control and unique artistic sensibility. The lack of consistency on the jumps did him in and also he never really found a program that exactly suited him I don't think; doesn't seem like he was surrounded by a good enough team that knew how to bring out his full artistic talent.

Janet Lynn, Michelle Kwan, Kurt Browning, Midori Ito—all are towering legends in the sport and if overall careers are considered, they should have Olympic gold medals.
