Is there room in the zoo for an adorable Brazilian (by way of France) tiger? :laugh: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nc_B5Jlhv...H5eIg0twLCo/s640/florent+amodio+ugh+tiger.jpg

I think there are simply a lot of good-looking skaters from Russia, period. Sergei Grinkov deserves a mention...what a man he was...

And if we are focusing strictly on looks (not trying to open a can of worms here), Fedor Andreev was an Abercrombie model with a rather nice face. http://www.fanpix.net/picture-gallery/fedor-andreev-picture-12172532.htm

I was thinking of suggesting Amodio. Glad you did!

As for Andreev and Grinkov, I endorse your endorsement. Since we're going strictly by looks here, not by how many different disciplines and countries the guy toyed with, Fedor definitely belongs. And Sergei...he belongs on every list we can fit him on. His memory deserves to remain fresh.

Nah, I think Plush gets along fine with Philippe Candeloro, who really did a shirtless exhibition (at the Olympics!) So he'll be cool with Javi doing that.

Jeffrey Buttle's eyes... :eek:: And his hair...

And yes, more zoo people! Even though Tatsuki isn't going to win any "hottest animal" awards from me... but by all means, let him in! :biggrin:

^Artur upholds the tradition of "Mishin's good-looking students." He's very classically handsome, almost like he stepped out of another century with the long hair. Hmm, maybe Meoima is onto something... :think:

Well, except he's no longer Mishin's good-looking student, he's now one of Tarasova's pretty students!

The gorgeous grey waistcoat for his Anna Karenina program really made him look like some nobleman from centuries past...

They parted ways, but he was "discovered" by Mishin. Just like Yagudin, who Meoima counts as one of Mishin's, so the theory still stands.

Tarasova did manage to pick out Kulik on her own, so I'll give her some credit. :laugh:

(Please, Artur, don't cut your hair... Continue being the elegant young nobleman...)

Mishin's junior student Alexander Petrov looks an awful lot like a young Ilia Kulik, doesn't he? http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Alexander+Petrov+ISU+Grand+Prix+Figure+Skating+XmTxB_nWEFTl.jpg

I have to say Maxim Kovtun seems to be growing up into a rather handsome man. Sometimes I think he still looks a little awkward, but then I see photos like this...he's still a teenager, of course, but in a few years he could be well above "good average." :laugh: :slink:

I don't normally crush on skaters, because I like older, heavier-set men ;) I kind of liked some of the coaches but not really. I was attracted to Rafael Aryutunian and Sergei Ponomarenko but I didn't feel the attraction very strongly.

The biggest crush I had was Sasha Abt when I was younger. At the time I was in love with an ex, who wasn't normally my type but shared some attributes with Abt - slightly above average height, boyish, thin, prominent cheeks, blonde (sometimes), blue eyes.

For the longest time Gwendal Peizerat just exuded sex appeal... Maybe it was the hair.

My list would probably include: Brian Joubert, John Zimmerman, Fedor Andreev, Robin Szolkowy, Alexei Yagudin, Tomas Verner, Michal Brezina, and not ashamed to admit I wasn't just watching Kim Lucine for his Mario tribute. :love:

Oh and Andrew Poje is essentially sex on two blades.

can we talk about junior men, or are they too young?
There's Adian Pitkeev, got a silver at Jr Worlds and JGPF - or just the podium at Jr Worlds!! with Nam (so cute) and baby Nathan too :biggrin:

The funny thing is that BusyMom wondered in the ladies thread why figure skating is full of beauties (or at least some of us would say so).
Because of her post, the thought crossed my mind (just my opinion) that as far as looks go, the DWTS pros as a group (both ladies and men, such as MC) cannot hold a candle to all of our beautiful skaters. YMMV.
Just saying' that the skating phenomenon does seem real. :think:
Now to think about it, not just our boys and girls can easily take the showbiz by storm but I noticed that most of them aged quite well too.

Not so much on my footballers' side I'm afraid: http://www.ambernectar.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/pundits.jpg
