Another favorite skater of mine is Yukina Ota. It is really unfortunate that she had so many injuries, but then again, with her not-so-solid jump technique, she would have been penalized harshly had she skated with the CoP. Her flow across the ice is beautiful, as are her wonderful ina bauers and spins. It is a shame that she didn't have better jumps - to think about it, perhaps her poor jumping contributed to her injuries - because she had everything else she needed to become a world medalist/champion.
Enjoy it while it lasted:
