If You Had to Choose - 1x World Gold 1x Oly Silver/Bronze vs. 2x World Gold

[Danibellerika]

So yeah, if you had a chance to be a 2x world champ, would you forfeit one of those titles to have an Olympic medal that is not gold?

[sallycinnamon]

I'd choose 1x World Champion and 1x Olympic medal. Standing on an Olympic podium must be an extra special feeling for any athlete. 

[kiches]

I'd take option 2, Olympics are just special. Those world medals are the same every year, right? Are they also the same as Euros and 4CC medals?

The real question is..4x world champion and no Olympic medal ala Kurt browning or 1x OGM and no world medals ala Adelina Sotnikova

That's grounds for another poll, but I do think Kurt would trade one or two of those world titles for an Olympic medal.

Kurt.  He left a legacy.  Even if he doesn't have an Olympic medal.

I also take option 2.

But if you ask this person ー>  

He wouldn't choose between those two. He would aiming all GOLD

4x World Champion. An Olympic medal doesn't necessarily prove your worth, but a good career does.

Yeah, I do think he covets his GPF victories more than his non-world golds.

 4xWorld Champion means being one of the greatest ones. 1xOGM and nothing else doesn't... How often will Adelina or Tara Lipinski get on the "best skaters" list? Meanwhile, Kurt and Michelle Kwan...

He can get 5x this year plus OGM next year with 5 new records tacked on the end of that

From your mouth to the skate god's ears! And a 3rd world title for good measure.

I think this upcomig season GPF and Olympic golds would be the most desireable for Yuzu, Worlds gold would be a cherry on top but not essential.

If I had to choose I'd prefer he get the OGM and another world title, but GPF is good for momentum. Either way, if beggars can't be choosers, I want the OGM for him over all else.
