G&G, Brian Boitano, Tara Lipinski, Ilia Kulik, Alexei Yagudin, Kristi Yamaguchi, Gritschuk & Platov, Oksana Baiul, Sasha Cohen (but I hated watching her compete). And Christopher Bowman will always have a place in my heart.
Favorite program ever is Michelle Kwan's Rachmanikoff. I think the happiest I ever was for a skater was when Rudy Galindo won nationals. I loved watching Nicole Bobek when she was "on".
Spelling is not my strong suit, as you can see. : )~ Alison

I can find something to like about almost every single skater......probably my MOSTEST favorites in each discipline are Kurt Browning, Michelle Kwan, Shen and Zhou, Torville and Dean.
There is only one skater I can think of that I disliked greatly.

Kwan & G&G for old school. And I often watch Midori Ito's 1988 Olympic Skates on youtube, and John Curry's Olympic skate.
Others - lots of pairs teams. B&S, Shen & Zhao, S&S, V&T. Dance - A&P, Virtue Moir and the Shibutanis. Men - Alexei Yagudin. Mens is my least favorite discipline.
