Ice Mage · Mar 29, 2019

1. Cha Junhwan -for his fantastic first half of the season where he medaled at every event he was in, it was truly great to see that

2. Evgenia Medvedeva -for making quite a resurgence at Worlds, not perfect but much better, it was truly wonderful to see that

3. Aleksandra Boikova & Dmitrii Kozlovskii -for being able to medal at Europeans and also be in the Top 6 at Worlds all in their first senior year, it's great to see and quite exciting

4. Elizabet Tursynbaeva -partially for her moving back to Eteri, but largely for her medaling at both Worlds and 4CC, it was so good to see

5. Alexandra Stepanova & Ivan Bukin -for being terribly underscored in the at Worlds, it was quite disappointing after such a great performance

6. Lilah Fear & Lewis Gibson -for almost always scoring high (sometimes Top 3) in the free dance and greatly improving their ranking at Worlds, I'm very happy to see that

7. Matteo Rizzo -for medaling at Europeans and being in the Top 5 after the short program at Worlds, it's always great seeing skaters from non-medal challenging countries (in the Men's discipline) doing well

8. Kaitlyn Weaver & Andrew Poje -for being in the Top 5 at Worlds after only skating in a handful competitions this season, it's quite impressive

9. Natalia Zabiiako & Alexander Enbert -for having such a great season and great performances (imo) this year and doing a much better job on the SBS jumps, I'm glad to see that

10. Elizaveta Tuktamysheva -for having such a great resurgence this season and making it to the GP Final, it was pleasantly surprising to see that
