What memories do you have of these great Olympic figure skaters? Share Your Thoughts

My Favorite Olympic Figure Skater

Tara Lipinski is my favorite in every way. Her gold metal Olympic program was so hard, so free, and so perfect. She conducts herself beautifully & is our best commentator for skating on TV today.

My Fave Figure Skater

I love Mao Asada because of her elegance and gracefulness but it's a matter of opinion.
—Guest Moi

She deserves it~

Yuna Kim~ record breaker~ She has all the records in the field of women`s figure skating and nobody could break it in decades. She skates like an opera star.
—Guest Maple

Yuna

Yuna makes skating a art I've never seen before. Her programs are so beautiful..
—Guest diana

Yuna Kim is worth no.1 famous today.

Yuna Kim is perfectly on top 1. She deserved of being the olympic gold medalist. She's part of the figure skating legend. A world record breaker!!!!! It's really difficult to find a figure skater like her because she's the total package!^_^

Kim Yu-Na and Mao Asada

Kim Yu-Na and Mao Asada are the best figure skaters: face,body gracefulness and artistic..they made figure skating more exciting to watch..best of the best!
—Guest centhoover

Is Mao not in list because she cried?

This is most unfair list I've ever seen. I Why not Mao Asada, who is 2010 Winter Olympic silver medalist and won a gold in World Championship 2010, is not in the list? And Why Nancy is ranked higher than Kristi?
—Guest Zara

Mao Asada

I visited the site first time. I am just wondering why not Mao Asada, who landed Triple Axcel 3 times at both Olympic game and World Championship 2010, is not in the list, like Midori Ito listed.

Gordeeva/Grinkov were the most graceful in unison pair ever, and showed the most passionate romantic skating ever and their music was unforgettable as were they as a team..

I've only recently got into figure skating but, from all the videos I've watched, Sasha Cohen has got to be my favourite Olympic winner.
