Who is second best male skater after Plushenko?

[Zazanuka]

Eman i think. I think that his talent close to Plushy. Not about bad plushenko's choreographe, everybody know it. I mean potential.

You can tell by how many votes Weir and Lysacek get that this is a very American forum. :chorus: Also too many people are voting for other, it is innappropriate for so many people to vote for other when other is supposed to be the spare option for the extreme few, since all the main options are already there.

Well, I'm Italian and I voted for Lysacek...

Well, I'm Italian and I voted for Lysacek...

So is Barbara Fusar-Poli and she is crazy, and so is his ex-girlfriend.

I'll go with Lambiel. But since his name's not up there, I'll go Weir.

Forgive me for assuming somebody who has won every competition he has completed in the last 2 years by 15 or more points under the COP is the best skater, as an obvious fact. My mistake.

If it is so obvious to you, why do you have to have a poll??

Dee

Dee, this poll is about the second best skater, LOL, isn´t it?

My vote goes to Lambiel, and I would see Lysacek as 3rd.

 

[Big Deal]

I hate this pre-judice!!!!
How do you think we have an opinion, Plushenko is the best?
I didn't vote, because the question was NOT fair!!!

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

Lambiel is the best skater and better than the the best JUMPER

Advantages of your favourite skater will not become greater if you humble the best skater of the world. Plush is far not only the jumper, you are blind or did not see his skating, I do not know.
My vote for Weir.

 

[Vash01]

Plushenko is THE best skater in the world.

Weir is the second best.

How could you of all people create a poll without Lambiel's name?

Though of course you would never want Lambiel second to Plush of all people.

Can we assume by this that you mean his ex-girlfriend is Italian (but not crazy)?

This topic does presuppose that Plushenko is the best male skater. That is a matter of opinion.

No, that is no a matter of opinion, that is a fact. But probably amusing performance of your favorite has provoked new splash of emotions to Really Big Thing?

I haven't a clue what you mean by Really Big Thing, and Kurt Browning is still the best for me but his days are closing in on him.

Favorites, and I assume Evgeni is your favorite, are a matter of opinion and everyone has their own. I didn't object to Evgeni. I questioned the topic!

I think it would have been better said: Which male skater at this point in time do you consider the best?. The answers, of course, would still be opinions.

I have no clue what you are saying either, but it IS a matter of opinion. Being the best competitor, the most consistant, does not equate to best overall skater.

Best overall skater.
Who is it? Personally I do not know, everyone without exception has lacks. And Kurt Browning too.
Everyone have personal favourites, without questions, but nobody cancelled the overall quality of skating, presentation, achievement, titles, it objectively.
You talk about "consistant" like about thing with poorly meaning, but it is one of the basic quality of the Great Champion - always or in most cases to present consistant skating.
It is impossible to compare with Browning because as athlete Plushy more stronger, he is the skater of other generation and nobody knows Plushenko's pro-career.

The problem with the wording of the title is what one calls a double barrel question. In law, a defence attorney would object strongly to such questions. The example would be: When did you stop beating your wife? Whatever one answers presupposes that at some time you did beat your wife. Defendants are not going to answer these types of questions.

This poll is about eligible skaters of today and among them Plushenko definetely is the best. It is not a matter of opinion or a matter of fan opinions, it is the opinion of judges. From other eligible skaters no-one is even close to Plushenko´s achievements.
