Above is a list of skaters and their top scores, somtimes called their "personal best", under the International Judging System IJS. The list includes the top 5 scores for each dicipline. There are some great skaters who are not on this list because they competed before the IJS system was put into place. The IJS was implemented in 2004 and did not become mandatory at international events until 2006.
