Oh. Since his name had never once popped up here, I was hoping he could be recreated. Bother.
I understand. I edited my post into a blank

I was being ironic about the thread, not your post! Sorry!!!
ermmm try to find me a lady dressed in givenchy with a large braid, doing back flips landing them on one foot so she can tag a triple salchow after them....
when you do so, you can dismiss Surya Bonaly
as for dismissing Patrick, we are used to it, so I won't comment
Michelle Kwan, who epitomized modern elegance in Ladies's Skating. Her carriage and her use of shoulders and arms were pure joy to the eye.
Many skaters today look positively retrograde compared to her.
I don't think "there will never be anyone like..." implies a legend or a winner of championships, but someone who was distinctive (unique) in some aspect. I think of it as being distinct in their style, but some other people see it as being a pioneer, being the first to do "something", having a big impact on the sport, having an interesting life story, or winning a lot of medals of various sorts.
As I said, I think of it as "most distinctive" rather than "most accomplished", and for that Surya Bonaly wins the prize.

If he was still landing 4T-3T-3Lo we damn well would think he was best.
Frankly, I despise the "you only like xyz sportsman because he's cute". In my experience it is a beyond sexist term used by men to demean and degrade women who have as much knowledge as, or more knowledge than, the man themselves. Because apparently women aren't supposed to like sport or something.
Yes, I am needled; being a female motorsport fan and hearing "you only like Mark Webber because he's cute" while in the same breath those same "superior fans" talked about the girls wearing short skirts being the only reason they watched women's tennis made the agenda obvious.

I had no time to respond you thoroughly. Yes, I'm a fan of Plushenko but I'm not a teenage fan girl. I perfectly understand why I like him. I'm a big fan because Plushenko is all of my points. Not vice versa I'm a fan thus I'm dreaming about his properties. He is not flawless, perfect but he is an extraordinary person.
Do you think that is too much what I wrote about him in my post? Wich are unbelieveable for you?
- cuteness - there are thousands examples.. have you seen his Asissai program, or one of his master classe videos? Definitely cute
- his look: tall guy: lovely body, icy blue eyes, long silky silver blonde hair and big nose
- sexyness : he was officially the sex symbol of FS since the sex bomb program to 2006. I can show you articles as he was mention in this name: for ex: http://plushwinner.narod.ru/eng/eng_article050.htm

@waflanagan Hanyu skated like Plushenko's heir today, playing to crowd, injecting a touch of sexual frisson, being a ham. Seriously.
-freedome, sincerity: he always says what he thinks, he lives, does as he wants...the director of the Russian documentary about Sochi also said about him he is an inwardly free man...
-courage, independence: he was the only one Russian figure skater who signed the petition against the Russian anti gay law despite the fact he respects Putin and he is one of the favorite athletes of Putin. Johnny is his best friend and he invited Johnny to his shows when was the biggest scandal surrounding the anti-gay law
-inspiration for fans : many fans wrote him he is their inspiration, the fans made about him thousands drawings and other cute things, there are more than 260 fan montages on Youtube now...
-inspiration for skaters: Yuzuru, Fernandez, Amodio, Han Yan, Reynolds, Boyang Jin, Medvedeva, Nathan Chen, etc., and many Russian skaters called him one of their idols. Mao Asada has two respected person Midori and Evgeni.

So impressed by @EvgeniPlushenko still skating & competitive after so many years. #legend & incredible inspiration for all Russian skaters!
Elvis Stojko @Therealestojko 20h
@toddeldredge @EvgeniPlushenko I agree my friend. An inspiration to skaters everywhere!

@SkatingLesson Aka "hero points" U still have 2 admire Plushenko. He is the male Dara Tores of figure skating.
"There will never be anyone like Plushenko!"
Is this a joke???? I could write a novel about Plushy and the fact that he's cute is simply a bonus. He has so many other qualities that make him special and if you have truly followed him, you'd know I'm right. I'm not going to write a novel about how much I like and respect Plushy. However, if you were to look through these pages, I've probably written enough about Plushy over the years to write quite a story.....
Well, since you asked...
"Cute, his look, sexyness" proves my point that women love him cause he is a sex symbol, I guess.
Sincerity...hummm...I dont pretend to understand Russian Govt but "he gained public attention for poor attendance, having attended only 11 of 123 parliamentary sessions since his election." I do not know if he was able to resign his political position or not. That would have been sincerity if he didnt wish to serve his electorate. I will not comment about his first marriage as I really dont think it is appropriate. I would hope he is taking care of his first son.
Likewise his ISU suspension. Dont know his side of the story.
Is/Was he a good skater? Yes. Does he have great amounts of ice presence? Yes. Is he almost a cult figure amoung women fans? Yes.
Will there never be anyone like Pushenko? No. And there will never be anyone like you or me.....
Will there ever be anyone like Plushenko on the ice....sure there will....for some people...but not for his cult.
