Okay I just came across a skate that made my day but I can't read cyrillic so i have no idea who this is. The boards say 2010 Worlds. Is this part of the Original Dance -Country/Folk Dance segment or some kind of exhibition piece. I am now obsessed with this. Please help me identify these skaters. They are so much fun - i want more!

There is moving as in I cried and moving as I used the opportunity to put the dog out or deal with a cat tossing a metal food bowl down a flight of stairs or go check on my pokemon go (I have a spawn point near my front lawn). I am going to assume you mean the first kind of moving.

Joannie's Olympic skates were very moving to me.
Gordeeva/Grinkov at the '94 games.
Javi at Europeans this year.

Interesting, when I saw the title of the thread, the first thing that came to mind was Katarina Witt's tribute to Sarajevo which no-one has mentioned. The second was Joanie's 2010 short but for very different reasons

I have a few...

The Good
- Virtue & Moir skating to Mahler (skated to by Gordeeva after Sergei died) and dedicating it to Joannie Rochette and her mom.
- Also the Witt program to honor Sarajevo.
- 1984 Original Paso Doble with the cape & Bolero by Torvill & Dean
- Romeo & Juliet by Anissina & Peizerat.
- Last Emperor by Chen Lu
- Denis Ten at Sochi.
- Paul Wylie 1992 FS after years of struggling - he finally found his confidence.
- Michelle Kwan Fields of Gold & Rachmaninov SP from Nagano.
- Mao Asada Ritual Fire Dance - full maturity of a great artist
- Matt Savoie - The Mission
- Yuna Kim - Homage to Korea
- Gordeeva & Grinkov - Mendelssohn 1988 FS
- Elvis Stojko - the Bruce Lee story, the look he gave the judges at Worlds at the end in 1994
- Usova & Zhulin for 1989 FD, the Seasons.
- Satoko Miyahara for Star Wars, she was Princess Leia for me.
- Davis & White - Samson & Delilah

The Sad
- Brian Orser finishing second again after skating nearly flawlessly. His face in the Kiss & Cry hurt.
- Kurt Browning after failing in the Olympic short programs twice destroying any chance of an Olympic medal, followed by an amazing Casablanca in the free. Such a giving performer, it hurts to know he has no Olympic medal.
- The withdrawal of Caryn Kadavy due to the flu after a lovely short program.
- Mao Asada in the Sochi SP, followed by an amazing recovery.
