THE Perfect Skater....

Combine Mao Asada, Carolina Kostner and Yuna Kim and you have the perfect skater

Asada's musicality and step sequence
Kostner skating skills
Yuna Kim jumping technique and consistency

That’s what I used to think. These days, I am convinced that competitiveness and toughness and grit is equally important. For all the technique and busy program flacks that the Russian girls get, we keep forgetting that Eteri’s girls’ biggest weapon is their tough as nails grit. So I will add the competitiveness with a sweet smile mindset of Zhenya as an add on.

Yuna had that, too.
 
Kurt Browning - during his competitive years. While he never won an Olympic gold medal he had fantastic artistry and was probably one of the top technicians in the sport.
 
If you had the power to create a perfect skater, I would create Yuzuru Hanyu :)

As cliche and repetitive as it is...I have to agree.
But I'm a sucker for really cute people in general, and that man is every bit adorable as he is talented.
 
Plushy was and IS, very good to his fans. He's sweet as candy and I think that's why he's still so popular.....He doesn't really need blending because he has every quality. Other than Patrick, I think I'd blend him with a friend of his, Emanuel Sandhu. Why....I don't know, I just love them both.

Evgeni Plushenko is very interesting person in general and he IS the figure skating in many people's minds.
I find their friendship with Sandhu very surprising. They met in Mishin Camp in 2016 and after there was no stopping.
Patrick and Plushy will perform on Stars on ice Japan tour a few months time.
