There are 3 main events involving skating at the Olympics. Who is the best skater? Your pick for the best hockey skater at the Olympics or Patrick Chan or your pick for best speed skater at the Olympics?
Who is the best skater?
To the 2nd poster, Skating is everything, balance, speed, edge work, strength, power, dynamics, fluidity, speed. All parameters are up for consideration.
On EA the highest player rating is an aggregate of different parameters that a player is ranked in. Similarly, this is an aggregate of who excels the most in all of the different skating parameters.
If that is still confusing ask yourself this:
How would the best Olympic hockey skater do at figure skating and speed skating
How would the best Olympic figure skater do at hockey skating and speed skating
How would the best Olympic speed skater do at hockey skating and figure skating
When I say 'best' I mean the Overall best skater in their respective class.
