She is amazing! Everything she does is through her heart. She tries hard and success into life. She made history! I love her, and shes my hero! She deserves to have good fortune in life..!

4Katarina Witt

Confidence, guts, and style. Defined 1980s skating!

5Sonja Heinie

She was so ahead of her time, excelled at many careers, just overwhelming to read about her life and athletic abilities... Oh, the hula in short ice skating costume! She was just... WOW

6Scott Hamilton

Simply awesome in his time! Set a new standard.

7Johnny Weir

+19I have become a figure skating fan because of him. I fell in love with his skating style right away. Johnny is the embodiment of grace, beauty and strength.

+19Johnny is the best male skater in the world in my book. He is very artistic and graceful, and his skating technique is superb. His jumps, especially axels, are incredibly high and strong. Johnny's programs are sheer masterpieces. When you see him skate, you forget about other skaters and their merits.

+18He will make a mark on the sport for his artistry, creativity and personality.

8Midori Ito

she is a huge part of figure skating history:first woman to land a triple-triple combination at JUNIOR worlds! first woman to land a triple axel first woman to land seven triple jumps in a free program and paved the way for Japanese figure skaters. thats quite an achievement!

Without a doubt the finest jumper of all time. Her artistry was underrated and she had so much energy definitely before her time. If it wasn't for compulsory figures and the disastrous warm up and short program of the 1991 worlds she would have at least 3 world titles. MY favourite skater of all time and such a cute smile too!

The first asian female to win a World Title and an Olympic medal. The very first female figure skater to land a clean triple axel in International Competition... her smile is so big. She's just wonderful

Sasha cohen is definitely the best have any of you guys seen her spiral it's like WWOOW the first time I saw her I'm like wow who is that and my sister's like sasha cohen

She is amazing and I absoloutlly love her spiral. She is a great skater I watch her all the time on Youtube and her outfits are out of this world. Since I'm a figure skater I try to skate like her but it's just impossible since she is so good and I love watching her.

Seeing Her skate to Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are made for Walkin" at a Champions on ice show made her one hot skater.

20Mao Asada

MAO ASADA has won more titles for a woman under the age of 15. She is the best and have the power to overtake any of her opponents.




21Ekaterina Gordeeva

Completely agree! She's absolutely magnificent, just breath-taking! She is not only a genius in figure skating, she's also one of the most beautiful women in the world. And it's very natural, that she's often associated with Katharine Hepburn and Audrey Hepburn - two greatest actresses ever. She's really Great!

She is the only person in the world of the figure skating af all times, who has transfigured it to an Art. It's actually a ballet on ice and a Great ballet! This is the level of skating, when even her perfect technique doesn't play role any more, because the Pure Beauty dominates over everything: it admires, stuns, hypnotizes and gives a natural sensation of eternal harmony. Other great skaters are heroes, and Katya is an Artist.

He made a real revolution in figure skating! Moreover I can't understand why the majority of sportsmen in this list are Americans.

25Yuna Kim

The Ice Queen of South Korea.
She's really talented and inspirational.

She is the current record holder for ladies in the short program, the free skating and the combined total under the ISU Judging System. She is also the first female skater to surpass the 150-point free skating mark and the 200-point total mark under the ISU Judging System. From Wikipedia
