(cache) 2nd greatest female skater of all time after Michelle Kwan

judgejudy27 · 12-07-2009, 06:48 AM

If one concedes Michelle Kwan as the greatest female skater of all time then who would be the 2nd greatest female skater of all time.

To quote Heather Mooney, "You're s******* me!"

Don't go down the fawning sycophant (aka Phil Hersh) path, JJ27. It doesn't become you.

I'm a bit cross with you right now, judgejudy.

ITO!!!

Voted for 'other' as I have to go with .................................................. ...........Michelle Kwan!!!!!
That's right! she takes up the entire podium of "all time greatest" - gold, silver and bronze.
I might say she deserves pewter too, but that might be going just a leetle too far.

I thought that pewter was reserved for the goddess of fourth place finishes, Polly Pooperak?

What's that sound I hear?? ... ahhhh, the opening of floodgates!

Frau Muller · 12-07-2009, 01:32 PM

Ito and Lynn are the greatest of all time; I voted for Janet Lynn as the absolute #1. I put Kwan in top 5 or even top 3 but no way The Best. Just because American television used to announce "Absolutely the best" and she made a lot of money for USFSA, ISU and sponsors doesn't make her that.

briancoogaert · 12-07-2009, 01:52 PM

Janet Lynn, Kristi Yamaguchi, Midori Ito, Katarina Witt and YuNa Kim are the best for me, after Michelle Kwan, of course

ZuZu · 12-07-2009, 01:52 PM

Rubbish! Kwan is neither the "greatest" nor even 2nd "greatest" skater "of all time".

Realistically somewhere among the Top 15 ...

laurenjm · 12-07-2009, 02:11 PM

Michelle is NOT in my opinion the greatest skater of all time, she IS the greatest American skater of all time hands down.

attyfan · 12-07-2009, 02:14 PM

IMO, the fact that Michelle Kwan's competitive record makes her one of the greatest ladies singles skaters of all time does not make her the greatest.

VIETgrlTerifa · 12-07-2009, 02:26 PM

You know this poll is just asking for trouble...right here in River City.

Zokko! · 12-07-2009, 02:29 PM

I won't participate in this particular poll 'cause 1st the question is just wrong and 2nd you're kidding anyway.

Excidra · 12-07-2009, 03:15 PM

This thread is such a waste of bandwidth.

nubka · 12-07-2009, 04:50 PM

I voted for Witt. She's far ahead of of Kwan in my book...

shine · 12-08-2009, 12:50 AM

So one shall not vote in this poll if they don't consider Michelle Kwan the greatest of all time?

Wiery · 12-08-2009, 01:08 AM

Since I don't, I won't vote...

judgejudy27 · 12-08-2009, 06:18 AM

These are my top 10 women singles skaters of all time in order:

1. Katarina Witt
2. Kristi Yamaguchi
3. Michelle Kwan
4. Midori Ito
5. Janet Lynn
6. Irina Slutskaya
7. Sonja Henjie
8. Yu Na Kim
9. Peggy Fleming
10. Dorothy Hamill

honorable mentions- Mao Asada, Tara Lipinski, Carol Heiss, Tenley Albright, Trixi Schuba (the figures master), Sasha Cohen, Lu Chen, Miki Ando, Herma Szabo, Madge Syers

If Kim wins the Olympic Gold she will move up to atleast #4 in my list though and if she competes to 2014 she could easily move up to #1.
