Who's your favorite skater?(single female/male)

Male...wow I have a lot. Despite his flaws, I'm a long-time Joubert fan. I know, I know...but I just can't help but love him. This season I've also become a massive Jeremy Abbott fan, and I'm praying he gets assigned TEB next season because I so very much want to see him live! My other favourites are Lambiel, Brezina, Kozuka, Oda, Weir, Verner, Bradley, the list goes on! Other than Plushenko (sorry!) I pretty much love them all.

Ladies, I don't have so many favourites in. Whilst I love Yu-na and Mao, my real favourite lady is Joannie Rochette. I also adore Ashley Wagner, Alissa Czisny, Sarah Meier and Elene Gedevanishvili.

Whilst you didn't ask, I think I'll tack on that my favourite pairs are Savchenko and Szolkowy, and my favourite dancers are...almost all of them! I'm a diehard Marlie and Virtue/Moir fan though.

However, readers of my blog probably know this already; I'm not too good at keeping my biases under control!

Ask me anything

Program of the Day

Elene Gedevanishvili - not a name you forget in a hurry. ElGed has had a hugely varied career so far; she was fifth in Europeans in 2006, but dropped to 25th place this year and so failed to make the free skate at all. However, according to her biography on ISU, she has decided to switch coaches in light of her result at the Europeans, and so now will be coached by Robin Wagner. I think this is a good move; she definitely needs a change of direction, and with Wagner's past success rate hopefully Elene will start seeing some good results - she's scheduled to skate at Junior Worlds in Sofia this week.
