What makes a "great" skater?
Dick Button has shared his views as to what makes a "great" figure skater -- "A great skater is one who has made the sport better just because he, she, or they have participated in the sport."
That being the case, I nominate the following to be designated
as "great" skaters".
Dick Button
Barbara Ann Scott
Sonja Henie
Carol Heiss
David Jenkins
Haynes Jenkins
Ludmila and Oleg Protopopov
Peggy Fleming
Janet Lynn
Toller Cranston
John Curry
Dorothy Hamill
Barbara Underhill and Paul Martini
Irina Rodnina and Alexandr Zaitsev
Scott Hamilton
Brian Orser
Brian Boitano
Tracy Wilson and Robert McCall
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean
Paul Wylie
Todd Eldredge
Oksana Baiul
Kristi Yamaguchi
Elvis Stokjo
Kurt Browning
Michelle Kwan
Alexi Yagudin
Katia Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov
Judy Blumberg and Michael Siebert
Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner
Natalia Mishkutenok and Artur Dmitriev
Yuka Sato
and the list goes on and on..........
