He certainly was seen as one. Anyone remember Eisfieber? Gachinski was mentioned as a future successor to Plushenko.

Is this thread only for single skaters? Because there are a few pair teams that would fit here.

I don't think anyone would be upset if you brought up pairs or dance teams that fit the bill... Pairs : since you mention it, i already have 3 or 4 in mind... but will not steal your thunder

Yes. I was thinking about her when I saw this thread but I did not remember the full name of hers. Thank you.

Okay then. I have a couple of pair teams:
The first pair team I thought of was Tiffany & Johnnie Stiegler. Enormous charisma and performance ability, (especially Tiffany) the sister and brother team made a big splash in the junior ranks. But once they became seniors, injuries and the inability to do the triples consistently hurt their chances to go as far as I hoped they would. I'll try to find a link for them later on.
Also Keauna McLaughlin and Rockne Brubaker, lots of potential as they were former junior world champions and US champions but they came apart at 2010 US nationals and finished out of the podium. She was very young at the time and she left competitive skating afterwards. In my mind I can see the picture of her walking away from the rink in great distress.

Amber Corwin (USA)-First US lady to land 3-3 combo in the SP in 97 at Nationals. Was working on quad toe loop at one point. She had the whole package. She also had amazing costumes that she designed. She retired in 2006 to attend fashion school and supposedly worked in the fashion industry.

She could have been world medalist in 2022. She was inconsistent with her triple/triple in 2022.
She was as good as Loena Hendrickx to me.
Here is my favorite program of her :

It's Gracie Gold for me she had everything to be a world and Olympic champion. As it is she had a very good career but it could have been more. Since the days of Michelle and Sasha Gracie has been the most talented skater to come along since they retired and she had everything to win but she was never really able to put it all together just flashes of greatness.

Oh Joshua.......I remember seeing him as a Junior and declaring him the next big thing. After he won Junior Worlds, he seemed to improve every year. Give Me Love and the amazing contrast of Schindler's List showed his amazing versatility as a performer. He was at the apex when those concussions took him out.

Sinitsina, for sure. Soo artistic, and her choreo is so fluid, she is a first class dancer on ice. Her lines are great too, shes very stable and very complete. Its just the tougher elements which she struggled with.
But, shes working on triple C recently from what I've heard, and she hasnt seemed to gain much size in age so she could still be in her physical prime for this sport.
Excited to see her this season; she might still put up some great scores!
Amber Corwin attended college while she was competing, finally graduating a couple of years after she retired. I don't think she ever worked in fashion. She doesn't now. Coaches part-time and is a full-time mother.

Then she may have previously or while in college b/c that's what her biography and wiki even state.
Either way, the whole point of the post was that she didn't reach her proposed full potential in the competitive skating world.

Well, Jeremy was SO GOOD, and if he recreated his Nationals program at the Olympics he would have been Oly champion. Yes, he achieved alot, but he could have been OGM. So frustrating as a fan of his.
