And Lambiel, who is also super expressive and artistic. As was John Curry in his artistry.
Jin and Chen have both made their marks with quads even though they haven't had other amazing accomplishments, yet...
For me, the Lambiel legend began at 2004 Worlds. (The same competition where the Shizuka Arikawa legend began. ) Stephane missed the podium and was not as polished as he later came to be, but you could tell that he was the one.
For me, Boyang Jin kind of snuck up on us. I do not recall any one single performance of his early career where everyone said, oh yeah, he's the guy. It just seemed like all of a sudden, there he was, winning world medals.
Nathan Chen was a child prodigy. I am sure that many people seeing him perform at ten years old saw a lot of promise. I can easily see both Jin and Chen pushing some of the old-timers off the podium at Pyeongchang.
