Silvio Smalun

Silvio Smalun represents the kind of durable competitor I always end up rooting for. A two-time German national champion in 2001 and 2003, with a bronze at the 2003 Bofrost Cup and a career-best 8th at the 2006 European Championships, he carved out a real place in a fiercely competitive era of men's singles. Reaching the free skate at seven ISU Championships is a marker of consistency that flashier resumes often lack. Figure skating punishes you with thousands of falls before any clean program, and the Erfurt native clearly kept getting back up.
