Getting back on topic - who is the greatest??
As I think longevity is a big factor, I think Elizaveta Tuktamysheva should have an honorable mention. She is competing in a national field that is fiercer than ever and she still have managed to qualify for two GP spots nine years in a row. (Is that a record?). She had a great season last year although she never went to Euros and Worlds. She is still going strong and I admire her for it - it takes guts to continue competing in that insane competitive field that is Russia. When I saw the Ladies Russian Nationals last year it was the best "world championship" I have ever seen. And Tuktamysheva wasn't even there. I am curious to see how she holds up this season. I hope she will have many more years on the FS circuit. Best of luck to her.
I like Tuktamysheva a lot (mostly because she is plucky and bold with beautiful jumps) and I hope she has a great season.
Greatest currently skating: Hard not to be Alina here but I think Carolina deserves at least an honourable mention.
Greatest of the 21st century: Probably Yuna Kim for me.
