This summer, a dozen elite skaters entered their most testing competition yet, trying to outwit, outplay, and outlast each other in the hearts and minds of FSU. Ten have been voted out so far, including, most recently, Stéphane Lambiel, leaving us with Alexei Yagudin, who has dominated all the challenges so far, and outsider Daisuke Takahashi.
Two skaters remain. Who should win?
The original contestants were the last twelve men to win a World or Olympic title. The eliminaees are:
Stéphane Lambiel (3rd)
Evgeni Plushenko (4th)
Ilia Kulik (5th)
Patrick Chan (6th)
Brian Joubert (7th)
Jeffrey Buttle (8th)
Elvis Stojko (9th)
Evan Lysacek (10th)
Todd Eldredge (11th)
Alexei Urmanov (12th)
The object here is to vote for the winner, using whatever criteria you want.

The two remaining skaters are:
- Alexei Yagudin: Worlds 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, Olys 2002, Worlds Silver 2001, Worlds Bronze 1997

Voted for Yagudin, even though I love Takahashi. Yagudin deserves it based on his skating and his competitive record!

Yags never got the chance to compete against Takahashi, but of course he should win in this game. Takahashi is fantastic but he could have achieved more in his career considering his level of talent.

While I do think Yagudin should win it all, he's sooo overated around here that I just voted for Takahashi, and honestly I prefer him much more in a pure entertaintment value.

Same could be said about Takahashi (please don't Originally Posted by SamuraiK

I voted for Dai. Yags has the better skating record but I prefer Dai's skating style.
