Are you kidding?! I'm not surprised to see no votes for G/G yet. You've managed to create the only type of ridiculous poll where G/G aren't leading, and don't even have any votes. 
I'm also not surprised to see the low vote count for Shen/Zhao who were rightly and respectfully credited for their greatness! But only when they weren't being disadvantageously compared to boring Totmianina/Marinin. 
Part of that loss for U.S. men in 2016 is due to judges looking down on Adam Rippon (and indeed on Max Aaron and Grant Hochstein). This when a number of better regarded skaters flubbed their programs but were still debatably placed ahead of Adam. So I don't see where you get off claiming Adam was ever over-hyped by anyone! After making the decision to come out about his sexuality, Adam gained enormous confidence which fed his determination to be the best he could be. Adam worked extremely hard to craft success in the second half of his career, and he did so without being over-hyped or over-rewarded by the judges, regardless of what you or anyone else thinks! In fact, too often, Adam was looked down on as quadless, and thus he was usually underscored, especially for his superior interpretive and expressive qualities.Judgejudy/savchenkoboss, you're so good at pushing fs fans' emotional buttons.
The current results of this trivial, nonproductive poll shows that no one is a runaway candidate. And your criteria for even compiling the list is suspect. For example, where are Plushenko, Hanyu, Elvis, Chan, Witt, Orser, Browning, Joubert, Weir, Tat/Max, Tarasova/Morosov, Ito, Lipinski, Sarah Hughes, Nathan, Boyang, Shoma, Lysacek, et al? You could finger just about anyone.
But so, you've chosen emotional lightning rods such as Kwan, Virtue/Moir, and of course current vote leaders, Sale/Pelletier. It's laughable. S/P were not over-hyped. It's just that many fans hate them for what happened in SLC, which was not their fault. They were as much victims as were Berezhnaya/ Sikharudlidze. Yeah but the knee-jerk attitudes against S/P apparently will have them winning this, as usual, dubious, nonsensical poll. Baiul was over-rewarded and slightly overhyped during a very short career. So what!
You may as well have thrown B/S in there ahead of G/G!
People are voting their negative emotions anyway, but again, that's what you love trolling for.
I think it's all in fun.
As I said, multiple personality OP is a master at pushing emotional buttons, just for fun. Continue 'having fun' as the sad off-season winds down...
Hate having to side with judgeju....I mean savchenkoboss, but I was in Vancouver in 2001 and the walkout was definitely about Bourne/Kraatz not medalling. Before we even went into the venue for the free dance, there were people distributing flyers that said people should turn their backs on the medal ceremony if Bourne/Kraatz weren’t on the podium. It was nuts.
The idea that Canadians were equally outraged about Beanie and her wedgie finishing 10th instead of 9th is entertaining though.
I only ever saw Kwan skate in person at an ice show. When she skated out into the rink and raised her arms as she went around, and smiled at the audience, it was like she showered everyone with joy.
Yes, it seems he was not.
But he wasn't the North-American commentators' favorite, too especially in Vancouver. The ES guys love him so much and if you listen some early commentaries of North-American commentators he praised him many times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQPXPf14JQw It worth to watch a nice collection of commentators' words
A part of his new program on IG https://www.instagram.com/p/BnWh56gH_5I/?taken-by=plushenkoofficial and a comment:
insomnambula : "Shtrafbat" is the music source--I don't know the composer. Lovely choice--and new where Russian is not spoken. Honestly, dear Zhenya, how it thrills us to see you working on new choreography! You have programs we cherish, which inspire us, and which you refine more beautifully every year: those are essential--as are great early songs to the experienced singer. But just as a magnificent singer wishes to hear and see new repertoire, he must also be allowed to sing new songs! Your timeless programs are the foundation of your art and our joy, but you are still young--and still our example of how an artist develops. Anyone who loves movement can never doubt it. With ballet dancers, we often talk in English about "the vocabulary of movement." You have changed the vocabulary of figure skating--and the more you skate, the more you refine it. This serves every skater, whether they know it or not. I have been watching your skating since you first began competing internationally, and have been admiring your constant refinement and reformation of various elements while performing your earlier programs since leaving competition. I know you have been thinking and now you give us a chance to see more of those thoughts in action. No skater in the world--none--can express himself as clearly as you do, because there is no extraneous movement. Elbows, knees--they are surely there, but what one sees is only what you hear and understand in the music. (That is poetry, you know--the most condensed form of expression!) You have also faced difficulties and asked questions all your life, so that when you skate, you tell us things that only you can say. Thank you for your willingness to overcome large challenges to share so much beauty. Your work has been an inspiration in dark hours--and the sun of many bright ones. I am happy for the audiences in China that will soon see your finished program--and hope that we, too, will see it. What an adventure life is!"
There is too much difference between your opinion and this opinion. Anyway, Yuka Sato wants to see the whole program, she has written a comment..
