Kyoko Ina and John Zimmerman are my favorite pair skaters. They possess grace and strength. Their amazing lifts, jumps and spins keep the crowd wondering just how they can perform them. This amazing pair are World Bronze Medallists as well as three-time  Untied States Champions. The are considered to be " one of the most amazing pairs in recent memory".
Next, my favorite male, single skater is Scott Hamilton. This man is truly an incredible and astounding skater, as you can see in the picture to the right. These back flips on ice combined with fantastic jumps and spins  always seem to impress the crowd more and more. Scott is an Olympic Gold Medallist, a four-time World Champion and is a four-time United States Champion.
Michelle Kwan is my very most favorite ice skater. I love her style, song choices and costume selections. At the 1997 World Championships, she shined brightly and showed off her talent by coming in first in the long competition as well as winning another silver medal.
Michelle takes in the crowd as she skates around after winning the 1997 World Championships. This is truly a career highlight.
	This is one of Michelle Kwan's more difficult moves- the butterfly. However, she is still able to do it with grace and confidence in front of many people at the competition.
	Once again, she receives the audience's astonishment and amazement while performing a spiral maneuver.
Michelle is a beautiful, graceful ice skater who enjoys what she does. I consider Michelle Kwan to be my idol and I hope to be such a wonderful figure skater as she is some day.
