1. Patrick Chan
2. Evan Lysacek
3. Beatrix Shuba (AUS), 1972 OGM. Because of her school figures she bested Karen Magnussen (CAN) and Janet Lynn (USA). You can thank Trixie for the short program.

Plushy, S&P, and other - Lysacek
not voting, but i like the wording of putting strictly to the boards and skating and not the person of life
I think someone has been left off that at least someone on here shows VERY strong hate for and that person is Maya Usova!
"won" was in quotes because you can make the argument that Plushenko lost with doing things anti-COP at the time like doing quads or not backloading.
Doesn't matter. Can't put 'won' in quotes when he actually won. And if that's true, then Plushenko's a frakking idiot.
Besides, you can make an argument about that with practically any competition. If Mao hadn't fallen, she could have won. If Sasha hadn't fallen, she could have won. They lost the gold, right? No, they just lost. The other person won. Fair and square.
Let's revisit Oksana Baiul - In and out of competitive skating faster than a speeding bullet. Controversial win at an Olympic games. Drinking problem. Skin the color of a cheetoh.
Does that make her pitied or hated?
Chan, Plushenko and Lysacek
I still cant get over there is still no Lysacek
he would have won this by a landslide![]()
Hughes - one of the best moments in Olympic history. Yet people hate her because her career was short and she beat Kwan
Cham - one of the most naturally gifted skaters of all time. Best skatings skills in the world. Some of his jumps have almost perfect technique. yet people hate him because he fell on a simple 2A at worlds and still won.
S/P - probably the most flawless Olympic pair long program in history. Yet people hate them because they originally won silver even though they deserved gold
Ando - one of the most gifted jumpers in all of ladies figure skating. First lady to land a quad. Landed numerous 3lz-3lo 's , probably the hardest combination performed by a lady. Yet people hate her because she isn't the most artistically gifted
Lipinski - one of the best Olympic lp's in ladies figure skating. Landed some of the hardest combinations by a lady. Yet people hate her because she was young and because she beat Kwan
I can understand people hating on people like Plushenko, but for these people I just don't think it is right. Sure they don't have to be you favorite, but don't hate them just because they succeeded over the people u do like
I voted for Plushenko because of his asshat attitude, not because of his successes.
I mean, you listed Hughes who is a much better definition of what you just said than Plushenko is.
She ruined the magic with her atrocious skate at worlds the following year, not to mention being placed too high in the olympic short.
You forget the fact that he's a pompous doucheCham - one of the most naturally gifted skaters of all time. Best skatings skills in the world. Some of his jumps have almost perfect technique. yet people hate him because he fell on a simple 2A at worlds and still won.
pompous homophobic douchesS/P - probably the most flawless Olympic pair long program in history. Yet people hate them because they originally won silver even though they deserved gold
she basically only has jumps. that's it.Ando - one of the most gifted jumpers in all of ladies figure skating. First lady to land a quad. Landed numerous 3lz-3lo 's , probably the hardest combination performed by a lady. Yet people hate her because she isn't the most artistically gifted
I personally like tara but her family's behavior did her no favorsLipinski - one of the best Olympic lp's in ladies figure skating. Landed some of the hardest combinations by a lady. Yet people hate her because she was young and because she beat Kwan
sarah wasn't hated because she beat michelle, is what because of what the judges overlooked on her mistakes. counted all of michelles and irina's.
bad juding calls hurt both sarah, tara, but also of how reacted afterward, i don't mean when the won, but how carried themselves afterward.
tara not so bad,
sarah a bit better.-for me alot better than s/p & plushenko.
we also judge how you win, how you take your win, if you come off as too arrogant etc.
but mainly it was the bad judging that hurt tara and sarah, or lack of judging regarding them
