CNN/SI - Ilia Kulik (679 words)
Russia's Ilia Kulik, 20, also happens to be the most complete package among the men vying for the gold medal in Nagano, a skater whose mix of classical ballet training, out-of-your-seat athleticism and theatrical flair makes him the hottest young star on ice.
Kulik, who was born in Moscow, has been turning heads since winning the world junior championship in 1995.
Kulik has won three of the four events he has entered this season, including the Russian nationals and the Champions Series finals, where he beat his chief Olympic rivals: Elvis Stojko of Canada; Eldredge; and Kulik's countryman Alexei Yagudin.
