Alexei Yagudin,
born March 18, 1980,
is one of the world's elite figure skaters.
He has won four World Championships,
countless other titles,
and captured Olympic gold at SLC in February 2002.
Alexei has been described as 'flawless':
he exhibits incredible jumping power,
awesome presence and artistry,
and footwork that is downright otherworldly.
