Dick Button for his competitive career (2 olympic golds, 5 world titles, 7 time US champion ) and technical innovation: he was the first to land the double axel, the first to land a triple jump (triple loop) and the first to do a flying camel

OOPS! I left out Jeff Buttle. Can the admin correct the mistake and add his name?

He is weaker than everyone you included on the poll anyway, other than possibly Wylie. You definitely made a good poll.

You also left out Michelle Kwan. Now that is a much bigger mistake, as a much stronger contender she would have most likely have won the poll! Originally Posted by Vash01

I'd probably include Toller Cranston before a couple of these guys.
Between Browning and Button for me.

You are absolutely right. I should have included Toller Cranston. Even though he did not win a world or Olympic gold, his impact on the sport/art has been phenomenal. Originally Posted by Proustable

I voted for Browning but I think that Chan can beat him in achievements.
Dick Button :respect:.

It's too early to say Chan will beat Kurt in achievements. The odds are in his favor, but unexpected things happen.

^ exactly, and browning of all people is the proof inthe pudding! Whoever would have thought in 91 "not only will Kurt not win an ogm, but he won't even make the podium!"
