I can't believe Robin Cousins wasn't on the list...

He was on the list on the magazine, but I had to cut the last few from the magazine out because I was limited to ten answers. That's why I left the other option. Sorry!
 
I would have preferred the title to be Your Three Best Skaters of All time not limiting to Olys which I think is just one other night of competition.

I think the results so far are a vote from the younger set for their favorite. Ten years from now, the new younger set will be voting for their most recent favorities and Boitano will not get a buzz.

It's ok, we know it is a fun poll signifying nothing. :cool:

I voted for Ilia (and his giraffe costume), Alexei (and his sexiness) and Victor - I used to adore him.
 
How could KURT BROWNING be left out?

Aside from his phenomenal Technical prowess, he put music and footwork on the skating map. He revoluntionized footwork with blades as well as with toe tapping.

Joe
 
I didn't think Kurt got on the Olympic podium, bless his heart!

Oh, I see, it doesn't specify just Olympics LOL there's my attention span at work:-d

I voted for Kulik, Yagudin and Plushenko, but I love all on that list and then some, like Paul, Kurt, Brian Boitano, Brian Orser, Joseph Sobavcik, of course Scott, Urmanov, Eldredge!!!!!!, Weir, Galindo, and Cousins to name a few.

I first stepped on the ice in 1988 because I wanted to skate like (and meet) Viktor Petrenko. I had such a huge crush on him and I was so happy when he won the OGM in 1992 after all the heartbreaking losses he had suffered at worlds.
 
Ehm, don't get me wrong I adore Zhenya, but he hasn't actually won any medal at Olympics yet.... and there are a couple of huge gaps in this pole... Robin Cousins and Alexei Urmanov!!

I could be mistaken but doesn't his silver medal count???

I voted for Dick Button, the foundation of figure skating and Alexei and Illia.
