Poll: Favorite Men Skater

[Ladskater]

I voted for Jeff. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing his new programs in the up coming season.

Hello everyone. Great forum.

I just wish they had "Other" in the selection. In addition to loving Lambiel's skating, I also like Kevin Van Der Perren of Belgium. I felt Lambiel should have gotten the bronze at Worlds. And Kevin is an absolute cutie pie.

Happy July 4.

Tim Goebel

I have not given up on him. I hope he will be back with strong jumps and better artistry.

Plushenko is my favorite but since he is not on this list, I will go for Timmy.

I voted for Tim. I'm not a big fan of his skating but I really like how he doesn't make any excuses when he skates poorly. Even in this year's nationals, he had a good reason for skating poorly, he still refused to blame his injury saying that everything felt fine out there. There's no bull with Tim.

My all time fave is Yevgeny.

 

[jesslily]

I don't know why Plushenko is not on the list. If he is on the list, I vote him. He should be. My next choice is Johnny Weir.

 

[Jaana]

From the listed ones my favourite is Stephane Lambiel, and second place tie for Jeffrey Buttle and Johnny Weir.

Favorite Men's skater

Finallly, a non- russian men's skater poll! (no offense meant to those who love russian skaters- I do admire them, but in my opinion, it's very interesting to see a poll without Russian skaters)
Anyways..I say either Lambiel or Joubert (both are really cool skaters! ) But if I was forced to choose, I'm sure I couldn't decide which one. I admire them both so much.

Choosing between Weir and Buttle is killing me

 

[nicole_l]

Stephane Lambiel.
Honestly, I like all of the skaters in the poll, but I think that Lambiel is one of the more complete packages. He reminds me of Ryan Jahnke.

How is it possible to choose just ONE male skater as your favourite?
I mean, this is not pairs after al...

Favorite Male Skater

My favorite male skater is not on this list. Brian Boitano is my all time favorite male skater.

jeff buttle is definitely the best out of those choices that were given..unlike most skaters...its not all about the jumps for him....he could beat all those guys with his artistic alone...and his spins are amazing as well...hes gonna rule in this new system!!!

This one was hard, b/c I'm a big fan of 3 of the 4, lol

I chose Jeff Buttle. His Phillip Glass programme this year has the most amazing original choreography I have ever seen. He could just stop jumping today, skate only choreography and spin, and I wouldn't complain

<--------------------------------------That guy is still on of my favourites, however. Very musical, very intelligent with his choreography (it actually has something to do with the music he's skating to....gasp!!), and he's Swiss, so you know the spins are incredible (BTW, if you edit the post and want to be totally correct about it, his first name is Stéphane....hold the Alt key and hit 0233 on the number pad to get the accent mark)

Joubert's good too. His style is really uninspired, but he just looks so boy-next-door, you just want him to do well

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

Definitely STEPHANE

He's the Music Man.

[doubleaxelcm]

Joe, you really seem to be a fan of Stephane! Any specific reason why? I go for Jeff Buttle. Love his innovative choreography this year.

 

[doubleaxelcm]

Takeshi should be in the poll. Also Stefan Lindemann

 

[Cmskater]

Jeffrey Buttle.

 

[ceg15]

Jeff Buttle all the way!!!!!

I agree with doubleaxelcm, Stefan L and Takeshi H should be in the poll!

 

[Weiry]

I chose Jeff Buttle as my favourite

BUT

Johnny Weir is the next best thing!!

I am not a big fan of any European male skaters right now.
Kinda blah for me since Yags left.

 

[Lynn226]

I voted for Jeff, but you left out Emanuel Sandhu.
