There will never be anyone like any skater.
Because they are all incredible individuals, each with their differences, their ups and their downs, their strenghts and their weaknesses.

Not Yagudin, after he accused Plushenko of faking his injury...
wait, what? Is this thread about who said uncomplimentary things to someone else, or maybe not?
Anyway, there will never be another dick button. Of this i can be certain because button's claims to fame are that he was the first to do a double axel, the first to do a triple jump, and in fact the first to master the technique of jumping by :spinning in the air. He was the first and only skater who (as european skating programs were recovering from war war ii) was simultaneously national champion, north american champion, european champion, world champion and olympic champion.
there will never be another sonja henie. She won three olympic gold medals and ten world championships. She brought figure skating to hollywood, changing the sport from a relatively obscure recreational diversion into a glamorous international show-biz phenomenon.
There will be never another Shin Amano.
The end.
No matter how many Russian Diva's come down the line, It all started with my wife, Maria Butyrskaya! She was sexy, feisty, and loved her fans. I don't know if she's still the oldest World Champion in history but she certainly was in 1999. Perseverance and Determination were her only friends after she was released by the Russian Federation in 1993. I love this picture....http://iv1.lisimg.com/image/5905372/516full-maria-butyrskaya.jpg

Surya Bonaly, Philippe Candeloro, Elvis Stojko, Oksana Baiul, Gordeeva and Grinkov- sorry for any wrong spellings; can you tell which year I became interested in figure skating?!!!
