U.S. Figure Skating launches "greatest ever" bracket: Vote for 'Greatest Skater/Team' of all-time
How far will Evgeni Plushenko advance in the U.S. Figure Skating online bracket?
Kwan or Kim?
Torvill and Dean or Virtue and Moir?
Plushenko or Lysacek?
Who was the greatest figure skater or team ever? Now you can decide.
U.S. Figure Skating has created an NCAA tournament-style bracket with 64 of the greatest skaters and duos in the history of the sport. We're leaving it up to you to choose the last man (or lady...or pair ...or ice dancing team) standing.
Several criteria were used in seeding the skaters, including:
• On-ice accomplishments
• Historical significance
• Public perception
• Longevity
Every Monday and Thursday, four new matchups will be posted on U.S. Figure Skating's Facebook page in the form of polls.

Voting for each matchup will close once the new set of matchups is posted. Voting begins Monday, May 3. We ask you only vote once in each poll. The winner will be announced in late June or early July.
The full bracket can be viewed: here:

The bracket includes 21 men, 19 ladies, 13 pairs and 11 ice dancing teams...but only one can be crowned the best of all-time.
Who's it going to be?
