Torvill and Dean, and Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto, are both ice dancers, not pairs skaters. \n\nBut I think that Torvill and Dean were the best ice dancers ever. \n\nAs for pairs skaters...I think that the best male pairs skater ever was Artur Dimitriev. He won the Olympic gold with two different partners, and he continues to have an influence on the sport even in retirment. \n\nAs for a complete pairs team - the best ever? In my opinion, it was Gordieva and Grinkov. They were excellent technical skaters, but they also brought real soul to their programs. They were the best combination of technical and artistry I've ever seen in pairs.

First of all, there is no Russian National hockey team anymore. Gone are the CCCP days where the team is kept together for tournament after tournament. They only get together at top level really like all other nations for the Olympics and the World Cup. (Don't give me the World Championships as those are basically B level tournys given the best NHL players are playing n the playoffs at that time).\n\nAnyway, the best Russian hokcey player is Ilya Kovalchuk. He's a winger and plays for the Atlanta Thrashers. He's definitely played for Russia at the 2006 Olys and not sure about the 2004 World Cup.
