Non Olympic/World Champion lady Survivor (1992-2012) Round 1

[DimaToe]

Since the "favourites" fever seems to be going around FSU lately, i thought that I'd join the fun, I went though the last decade of WC's and gathered the list of the ladies that medaled but never earned, or have yet to earn, the World/Olympic Title. To make it more fun I thought I'd also turn this into a survivor competition, eliminating the two ladies with the fewest vote each round (if the thread is successful that is ) until we get our Champion

Here are some performances from these ladies (not necessarily their medal winning performances) I unfortunately ran out of space for Kerrigan on the poll, sorry

So go on and vote for your favourite!!


Alena Leonova 2012 World Silver

Akiko Suzuki 2012 World Bronze

Laura Lepisto 2010 World Bronze

Joannie Rochette 2009 World Silver,2010 Olympic Bronze

Fumie Suguri 2002/03 World Bronze, 2006 World Silver

Sasha Cohen 2004/05 World Silver, 2006 World Bronze/Olympic Silver

Elena Sokolova 2003 World Silver

Julia Soldatova 1999 World Bronze

Vanessa Gusmeroli 1997 world Bronze

Nicole Bokek 1995 World Bronze

Surya Bonaly 1993/94/95 World Silver

Tanja Szewczenko 1994 World Bronze

Is it the off season already?...

I'm getting impatient for CAN/U.S Nationals and Europeans to get here.... sorry.

I voted for Lepisto but missed Soldatova, otherwise it would have been her.

Wait, is this Round 1 of "Survivor," where we vote for the one we want out, or a vote for our favorites. The thread title and poll title point in opposite directions.

The two ladies with the fewest votes each round will be eliminated, sorry for the confusion

Woops, my bad, I voted for who I thought was worst, lol! Sasha having the most votes shocked me, then I realized what the poll meant.

I saw your Soldatova vote and thought WTF! Sorry, Julia.

Surya is my favorite. I'll vote for her as long as she's in it.

Thank you ! I was hesitating between Surya and Vanessa, so, for the same reason, I'll vote for Vanessa Gusmeroli !

LOL. With you voting for Soldatova, I was thinking : "OMG, judgejudy is really crazy".

[blue_idealist]

Suzuki.. although I almost picked Lepisto.

[Moka-Ananas]

Elena Sokolova for me

[DaiKozOda]

Voted for Sokolova. Always had a soft spot for her skating.

[Marlowe]

Nancy Kerrigan

[girlscouse62]

I voted for Joannie, not only because I liked her skating, but loved her ability to keep it together in the worst of circumstances. imho, she showed amazing bravery and grace in her 2010 performances.

[apatinar]

Surya all the way! She should have been 2 time world champion ('93 and '94), but hey- it wasn't in the cards for her

[lulu]

This is hard, out of those on the list, I really enjoy Leonova, Rochette, Sokolova, Gusmeroli and Bonaly. But, I'm going to have to give my vote to incomparable Surya. Her 1994 SP is still exciting to watch: http://youtu.be/AOkGmPdIAO8
