I was thinking of little nuances you notice when you compare the different outings of certain programs and I must say some of the expressions, most notably on the ending poses, have stayed with me. Even though they are really just split seconds most of the time, these improvised bits could make such a difference imo (instead of just dropping the facade as the program is over) and they really add to the performance, especially if skaters remain in character even after the music has stopped. I'm instantly thinking of Tuktamysheva's badass smile from 2018 Finlandia SP, diva-like-no-other Stolbova at 2015 GFP SP, Wagner's intense stare with a head twirl at 2016 Skate America SP and Cohen's flirty start to her 2006 Olympics SP.
There was a similar thread that focused on the differences between the outings of the same programs but I can't seem to find it now. This thread would be a little bit different in tone as I would be interested really in memorable expressions, let it be ending poses or not. Hopefully not a terrible thread idea but if the other thread is alive and well, please feel free to incorporate my post into that one - so what are your thoughts and favorites?
