I'll just stick to this season - Dima's spectacular performance at Euros, Sergei winning NHK, Evgenia after her FS in Pyeongchang, Javi & Yuzuru of course.

One more -- Lulu's 1998 Olympic LP and all the tears of joy afterward!!! A beautiful program by a beautiful skater. That program captures the story of her career; she became a butterfly. Having been 25th at the previous Worlds and wildly inconsistent in the Olympic season, she returned to her former excellence at the perfect moment. What a comeback story. There were many tears shed that night, but Lulu cried the most of anyone. That program is such a work of art, and you add in Lulu's personal journey and it makes it 100-times more incredible. She went through so many hardships on the way to that Olympic moment. I'll never forget it.
I remember watching a documentary about what she went through. I think it was narrated by Jim McKay. There was so much going on for Lulu before the Games. Sadly, I can't find it now. Does anyone know the video I'm talking about? I'm pretty sure I saw it after Jim McKay died and they were remembering his best work. It was so interesting to watch. I hope I can see it again.Oh yes, I remember that (even though not at first instance). So beautiful, and those tears after all she'd been through.
