It's hard for me to come up with 5 ... mainly because I find most men ... well, boring.

Ilia Kulik ... He had great jumps and excellent line. Slow spinner though. And he comes across a nice guy.
Johnny Weir ... Great line, nice posture and very pleasing to the eye. I like his skating, but not his personality.
Adam Rippon ... very expressive. Not as tall and long legged as I'd prefer though.

I thought it might be interesting to see who the "Top Five of the Top Fives" were. The Results so far are:

Stéphane Lambiel (32)
Alexei Yagudin (31)
Kurt Browning (27)
Brian Boitano (17)
Daisuke Takahashi and Ilia Kulik (tied at 15)

Fifth place is a heavily contested tie with Jeffrey Buttle, Alexander Abt, John Curry, etc.

1. John Curry - IMNSHO anybody who left him out of their top 5 should watch a few of his performances and reevaluate their list. Just sayin'.


Amen to that!!

1. John Curry
2. Toller Cranston
3. David Jenkins
4. Robin Cousins
5 = John Misha Petkevich (the man was the skating God of his day yet hardly anyone remembers him :()
5 = Robert Waggenhoffer (just a genius skater who if he'd competed under CoP at the time would have been World champ for sure.)
