The ice dance GOATS of their generation and my personal favorite ice dance team
Virtue/moir: Farrucas 2010 olympics OD just jaw-dropping gravity-defying technical brilliance
Virtue/moir: Moulin rogue 2018 olympics FD Emotionally raw sensual unforgettable program filled with amazing lifts
Virtue/moir: Pink Floyd 2009 worlds FD underrated pure fun and insane difficulty, fast-paced (Knowing tessa performed this when she had painfull shin injuries makes it even more amazing)
Virtue/moir: Valse triste worlds 2007 FD some of the best executed lifts I have ever seen beautifully ethereal and beautifull lines when I think of art on ice this comes to mind.

Besti/bukin: Carmen FD 1985 euros criminally underrated and the best rendition of carmen by far IMO
A/P: Romeo and juliet FD worlds 1998 just gorgeous, beautifull and timeless

Mao asada: Rach no 2 FS 2014 olympics this performance proves that medals aren't everything
Mao asada: Madame butterfly FS 2016 worlds proof that she still had it. I tear up everytime she goes into the spilt eagle. moving performance.
Ma asada: Nocturne 2014 worlds Beautifull redemption skate, Just pure sublime artistry.

Yuna kim: Bond girl 2009 olympic SP I just love this. Pure fun. Pure badassery.
Yuna kim: Tango de roxanne 2007 GPF This was peak yuna sassiness and when she had her flexibility so her spins were sublime here The flow of this program is insanse. The part where she slowly draws her hands across her face while in her spiral sequence still gets me.
TLDR dark sassy short program yuna over light airy freeskate yuna

Michelle kwan: Aranjuez 2003 worlds FS killer spread eagle perfectly timed to capture the emotion of the music, one of my favorite spiral sequences ever and i love the ending pose.


Sui/han- Rain in your eyes FS worlds 2019: overwhelmingly beautifull, Gorgeous ending lift and some beautiful breathtaking jumps and pulling it off cleanly on top of Sui having serious injuries just a few months prior makes this performance all the more special to me.
Sui/han -Turandot FS 2017 NHK trophy: only place where they skated this program to the fullest. And it was just great. the coolest badass beginning pose i have ever seen in skating.


Yagudin: 2002 winter olympic SP- A must watch for newcomers to skating and hands down the best step sequence and footwork in mens I have ever seen. A wonderfull amazing combination of technical and artistry.

Yuzuru hanyu: seimei FS 2018 olympics chills. everytime.
Yuzuru hanyu: romeo and juliet FS 2012 worlds: so young here but so artistically sound full of passion and grit a must watch for newcomers.
Yuzuru hanyu: Origin FS 2019 worlds: not my favorite program from him by far but him holding it together and putting this performance down after a lackluster short in front of his home crowd after a season of disappointments just moved me.

Sasha cohen: Malaguena SP 2004 worlds musically on point, Fabulous charlotte spiral and some of the best spins I have ever seen, full of sass/personality and a killer step sequence.
Sasha cohen: Dark eyes SP 2006 olympics

Kaetlyn osmond: Edith piaf SP 2018 olympics She was her character here. Like i forgot it was kaetlyn for a second. One of the best portrayals of a character i have ever seen. love her hand movements they went faboulously timed with the musicial accents.

Oh my goodness, how could I forget to mention Adam Rippon’s “Let Me Think About It” short program in my previous post?! I still fangirl the hell out of that one. It gives me life! Even on days that I’m in the worst mood ever, I can pull up any of that program’s performances on YouTube, and instantly, I turn that frown upside down. :)

Honourable mention to one of the best layback spins in men’s figure skating. :love:
